Can Multiple Sclerosis be treated by Neural Stem Cells?




Multiple sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system attacks its own tissues and disables the Brain and Spinal cord. And this immune system malfunction destroys myelin. It isn't clear why MS develops in some people and not others. A combination of genetics and environmental factors appears to be responsible.

Symptoms

Signs and symptoms of multiple sclerosis may vary from person to person and over the course of the disease depending on the location of affected nerve fibers.
·         Numbness or weakness in one or more limbs that typically occurs on one side of your body at     a time, or the legs and trunk
·         Prolonged double vision
·         Pain in parts of of your body
·       Electric-shock sensations that occur with certain neck movements, especially bending the        neck forward
·        Tremor, lack of coordination or unsteady gait





Research 
Scientists have showed that skin cells in the central nervous system helps in reducing inflammation and repair damage caused by multiple sclerosis. Therefore Earlier study of Cambridge have proved that transplanting neural stem cells that develop into nerve cells has reduced the inflammation CNS heal that has injured. In Recent advances expectations have raised that central nervous system have improved by the use of stem cell therapies.
Researchers have discovered that chronic multiple sclerosis leads to increased levels of succinate this shows that a small metabolite in it sends signals to macrophages and microglia, tricking them into causing inflammation cerebrospinal fluid. Therefor transplanting NSCs and iNSCs directly enters into the cerebrospinal fluid and reduces the amount of succinate by reprogramming the macrophages and microglia. This leads to a decrease in inflammation and causes subsequent secondary damage to the brain and spinal cord.

Do Stem Cells act as Anti-Cancer Vaccines?

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells iPSC are originated from skin or blood cells that have been reprogrammed back into an embryonic like pluripotent cells that enables the increase of an unlimited source of any type of human cell needed for therapeutic purposes. iPS cells plays an important role in regenerative medicine. They can become many different types of cells and tissues that can help in damage repair due to trauma or disease. Recent study shows that the iPS cells training the immune system to attack or even prevent tumours.  Ten years ago, adult cells were genetically reprogrammed to behave like pluripotent stem cells. To produce the vaccine for cancer, the researchers turned to induced pluripotent stem cells.  The main aim of the study is to vaccinate a person with his or her own iPS cells to protect against the development of many types of cancer. The iPS cells mimic Anti-Cancer vaccine because, since the cancer cells resemble immature progenitor cells, which ar

Regenerative Medicine is used to Replace tissues and Organs which are been damaged by disease. It also helpful for the permanent damaged organs. This can be done through the cell based therapy or by using cell products. Most of the regenerative medicine is depend upon the endogenous developmental or repair process and stem cell plays a main role in regenerative medicine. And they are integral part of the Regenerative Medicine. The ability of stem cell is currently being researched by the doctors and scientists it can cure untreatable diseases like diabetes, heart failure stem cell also important in drug testing .These are used in Joints, Muscle pain, Ligaments. Regenerative Injection Treatment are using autologous platelet or plasma or bone marrow Tissue engineer is the branch of regenerative medicine. Cells are building block of tissues and Tissues are the main function in the body .Tissue engineering and Regenerative Medicine is the regeneration of cells and tissues and b

Cancer stem cells

How Cancer Persists Stem cells are found in numerous tissues in the body, its life span is limited unlike with all other regular cells. They have the ability of dividing and renovate themselves for long time period. There unspecialized character justifies that ensuring cells convert into different cell type on time when one cell divides. Like, stem cells inside the bone marrow have ability of becoming bone. Fat and blood cells Likewise, there is believed that cancer stem cell is present in the main part of tumour, in the other hand there growth is also undefined and ability of self-renovate till they convert into new cancer cells. The major tumours treatment leaves cancer stem cell unmarked. Cancer stem cell can move undetectably even after treatment of major tumours effectively to the blood stream by the immune system to generate new tumours. This process is known as metastasis. These minor tumours become more aggressive year after and it’s really difficult to treat them.
