Stem cell transplants help kidney damage

eurekalert.org

When researchers transplanted autologous renal progenitor cells into rat models with kidney damage from pyelonephritis -- a type of urinary infection that has reached the kidney and is characterized by severe inflammation, renal function impairment and eventual scarring -- their study documented improved kidney structure and renal function. This led researchers to suggest that the procedure shows potential for partial augmentation of kidney structure and function. Pyelonephritis is a major cause

British Heart Foundation - Stem cell therapies

bhf.org.uk — “Over the 50 years of BHF’s existence there has been a dramatic fall in the number or people dying prematurely of a heart attack. But, because the heart can’t mend itself, many survivors are left with badly damaged hearts and heart failure, a debilitation condition that causes breathlessness on even the most ordinary day to day activities such as dressing and washing. The only options for such patients are drugs to try to improve symptoms or transplantation for those worst affected and lucky enouView full resource at bhf.org.uk

Hearing Restoration May Be Possible With Cochlear Repair After Transplant Of Human Cord Blood Cells

sciencedaily.com — “Hearing loss due to cochlear damage may be repaired by transplanting human umbilical cord hematopoietic stem cells. This study, using animal models of chemical and auditory cochlear damage, found that when transplanted stem cells migrated to the damaged area, "surprisingly few" transplanted cells were necessary to help repair sensory hair cells and neurons. Researchers say transplanting umbilical cord stem cells provides hope for the repair of human hearing impairments rising from cochView full resource at sciencedaily.com
