For their ability to differentiate into other cell types, the embryonic stem cells hold a large potential in the medical industry. Their use, however, poses ethical questions due to the fact that in order to obtain them, it is necessary to destroy the embryo. For this reason, medical researches ..…

Using adult stem cells to cure disease has nothing to do with embryos, and is showing great promise for curing a wide variety of chronic conditions. Now, doctors are using a patient’s own stem cells to heal without surgery.

Doctors use liposuction to extract fat cells from Elsa’s abdomen. The cells are separated, concentrated and treated. The doctor injects her own stem cells back into Elsa’s knee, where they will grow and hopefully, heal the damage.

Using embryonic stem cells in medical research is a controversial topic. Using adult stem cells to cure disease has nothing to do with embryos, and is showing great promise for curing a wide variety of chronic conditions. Now, doctors are using a patient’s own stem cells to heal without surgery.

Plot twist!
"People have assumed that adult neural stem cells are similarly undifferentiated and self-renewing," said Alvarez-Buylla, whose lab was the first to identify neural stem cells more than 20 years ago. "We did not see that."

http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-06-specific-roles-adult-neural-stem.html

Adult neural stem cells, which are commonly thought of as having the ability to develop into many type of brain cells, are in reality pre-programmed before birth to make very specific types of neurons, at least in mice, according to a study led by UC San Francisco researchers.

The David J. Foege Non-Embryonic Stem Cell Research Fund is pleased to announce its new partnership with a leading foundation in South Florida. Moving forward, social investments made in the advancement of adult stem cell therapy on behalf of our father, David Foege, will be made through the Southwest Florida Community Foundation. Please show your support from $1-$10,000 as we continue to invest in socially responsible research methods around stem cell treatment for a disease your family has been touched by… More than 26,000 patients are treated with blood stem cells in Europe each year. In theory, there’s no limit to the types of diseases that could be treated with stem cell research. Given that researchers may be able to study all cell types via embryonic stem cells, they have the potential to make breakthroughs in any disease. That’s right….. ANY DISEASE.
Are your family members affected by cancer, paralysis, Alzheimer’s, heart failure, Parkinson’s? These maladies have been successfully treated by Stem Cell therapy. Help is put an end to the bureaucratic barrier that keep us from helping one another

Adult stem cells have long been considered as a very promising candidate cell source for regenerative medicine. They are non-tumorigenic, relatively safe, and less controversial than embryo manipulation.
