David Prentice notes that Researchers at the University of Milan have published results indicating that adult neural stem cells might be used as a treatment for spinal muscular atrophy. The disease is the second most common genetic disorder leading to death in childhood and there is currently no cure.

Sir
My daughter 8 months old has spinal muscular atrophy type 1.
Please let us know is their any clinical trials of SMA type 1 over the resent finding by the university of Milan abount tratment of SMA through stem cells
Unfortunately I'm not aware of human trials in the US related to the therapy above (although there are others http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/results?term=SMA+type+1). I have read about injections that can be obtained abroad which are fairly expensive and not guaranteed.
You may also want to consider this: http://www.fsma.org/LatestNews/index.cfm?ID=3481&TYPE=1150
Perhaps it would be best to contact the study investigator cited by David Prentice:
Address correspondence to: Giacomo P. Comi, Department of Neurological Sciences, University of Milan, IRCCS Foundation Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico, Mangiagalli and Regina Elena, Padiglione Ponti, Via Francesco Sforza 35, 20122 Milan, Italy. Phone: 390255033817; Fax: 390250320430; E-mail: giacomo.comi@unimi.it.
Or, contact David Prentice at the FRC: http://www.frc.org/get.cfm?i=BY04H12
My son who is soon to be 2 yrs old, was diagnosed with cortical dysplsia. He is developmentally delayed, and I am wondering can he benefit from the stem cell treatment? Who would I need to come in contact with? Or is there any other treatment that has been heard of other than surgery because he is not a candidate.
Look at www.stemcells21.com - an advisory/guidance service that is free and focused on helping people find the best service providers in the rapidly growing adult stem cell industry. Note we avoid anything to do with embryonic stem cells.
We have a physician here in Bangkok very experienced and interested in conditions like your sons.
Good day,
I have read the requests of Ritesh Sehgal | September 28, 2008 12:23 AM and also irene1815 | September 28, 2008 3:41 PM
A patented breakthrough nutritional adult stemcell enhancer product (StemEnhance)is available from which people may benefit greatly. A great advantage is that no surgery or injections is needed and it is not expensive at all. Information is available at http://www.stemcellresearchbreakthrough.com (product video material) and also www.stemcellbreakthrough.co.za (Look under: Learn More - Product Information - and 'About StemEnhance' and FAQ
Kind regards
From Tanya Kotze
