Therapeutic effect of worm-derived proteins on experimental colitis
Worms are important source of immunomodulatory proteins that could be used in the development of new drugs for the treatment of immune-mediated diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). A research group in Belgium investigated the therapeutic effect of worm-derived proteins on experimental colitis in mice. Treatment with worm proteins ameliorated motility disturbances during murine experimental colitis. This suggests that worm proteins have great potential to be used as therapeutic agents in IBD.
Autologous Muscle-derived Cells May Treat Stress Urinary Incontinence
Researchers have confirmed that transplanting autologous muscle-derived cells into the bladder is safe at a wide range of doses and significantly improves symptoms and quality of life in patients with stress urinary incontinence. The study showed that the injection of muscle-derived cells was well tolerated and significantly improved symptoms.
CIDP Treated With Plasma-Derived Therapy
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a debilitating, progressive neurological disorder that results in muscle weakness and fatigue and can severely impair motor skills. According to the GBS/CIDP Foundation International, CIDP affects two to seven individuals per 100,000 worldwide.
Benefit Of Adipose-Derived Regenerative Cells In Spinal Disc Model Reported By Cytori
Cytori Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYTX) reported preclinical study results, which demonstrate the potential benefit of adipose-derived stem and regenerative cells (ADRCs) for the treatment of damaged intervertebral discs, evidenced by significantly increased disc tissue density and disc-specific extracellular matrix components at 12-months post treatment in a large animal model. The data were presented at the 2008 Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International Society meeting.
