Baxter teams up with Northwestern:
A treatment that uses adult stem cells to rebuild failing hearts reduced chest pain and improved activity levels for severely ill patients one year after injection, a Northwestern University researcher working with a Chicago-area device-maker reported.Though still in early development stages, the work of Dr. Douglas Losordo, using technology developed by Baxter International Inc., is being watched closely by the stem cell research community. The trial data, presented Tuesday at the American Heart Association scientific conference in Orlando, Fla., is also important in the study of heart disease.
No, they don't need taxpayers to fund speculative research because the use of adult stem cells has time and again yielded beneficial therapies. To be blunt, this research is viable, is likely to benefit people and carries a real financial incentive.
[Note that the use of adult stem cells does not involve the destruction of a human life.]
My son , 25 yrs old is an Heart patient (Cardio-Myopathy) . He could not enjoy with other youngseters and can not even enjoy his youth . We were hopeless.But Stem Cell therapy made it possible that he can live his life like any other youngester.I have seen so many Cardiac disease suffering patients treated with Stem Cell Therapy at Stem Cell Global Foundation..Stem Cell treatment is very promising in giving A QUALITY LIFE to Cardiac Disease Patients .
Thanks to Stem Cell Therapy provided by Stem Cell Global Foundation’s Experts globally. Need more information website, www.stemcellgf.org
My sister in law was just treated for lymphoma with umbilical cord stem cells. The use of cord blood stem cells does not involve the destruction of embryos either and is very promising as well. God bless and guide those researching these life affirming cures!!!
The research should go on for the betterment of the world community as prevention and cure of many diseases lie in stem cell treatments.
