Japanese scientists from the University of begin unique clinical study involving patients who received a spinal injury. The researchers will try to treat them using stem cell injections to stimulate nerve regeneration at the site of spinal cord injuries.
So, people with spinal cord injuries obtained in accidents or playing sports, will do injection of induced pluripotent stem cells. The authors of the experiment suggest that the greatest effectiveness of such therapy gives, if done within four weeks after spinal injury.
Induced pluripotent stem cells, which will treat the injured spine to the participants of the test were first discovered in 2012, Japanese scientists Signa Yamanaka awarded the Nobel for this prize. This type of stem cell has the ability when properly exposed to them to enhance the growth of any cells and tissues. In the experiments these cells was successfully proved as a cellular activator in the treatment of blindness, heart disease, aplastic anemia.
Scientists admit that using stem cell injections can treat not only received, but also a long-standing spinal injury.
