Stroke and Stem Cell Therapy
Stem Cell Therapy & Stroke
The sudden onset of stroke is devastating and leads to temporary and/or permanent disability to speech, sensation, memory and motor neuron damage. The damage is caused by a bleeding or blocked cerebral blood vessel leading to local brain damaged areas with loss of neurons and glial cells.
No effective therapy exists and therefore any stem cell treatment that may offer improvement would be greatly welcomed. With the
discovery of Mexico stem cell therapy has come new hope.
Although there are niches and reservoirs of stem cells in the adult brain their numbers are not sufficient to restore neurological function. The umbilical cord blood has stem cells that are pluripotent in their ability to be transformed into many precursor cells of various organs in the body including the brain.
Umbilical cord blood stem cells when placed into culture with nerve growth factor, brain neurotrophic factor and nutrients can form precursor progenitor brain stem cells.
Patients with post stroke syndrome (even for many years) can be given intravenous brain stem cells with stem cell therapy, oligodendrocytes to replace myelin and neuron stem cells. These cells will home (migrate) to areas of damaged brain tissue with hopes of stem cell treatment functional recovery.
