A Brief Review Of Stem Cell Treatment Centers

By Jason Scott


A team of scientists, doctors, bio-engineers and biologists are now working together at the Mayo Clinic to study regenerative medicine. One of the goals of the team, treating different diseases using new and novel therapies in stem cell treatment centers. In fact, transplant surgery and medicine have been pioneered and studied by doctors over the last five years to determine new and interesting innovations in this area.

Regenerative medicine also known as stem cell therapy has proven to replace, repair, reprogram or renew diseased cells in the body. For, these particular cells have the ability to grow in multiple areas of the body. As a result, cells often spread more rapidly in individuals exhibiting signs of diseased cells.

Two types of stem cells can be used in this manner, adult cells which have been repaired or reprogrammed and embryos. Most often, embryos are collected following abortions and at times, miscarriages if the incident occurred in a sterile environment. Due to differing opinions as to when life begins, there still remains ongoing controversy when it comes to using these cells from embryos.

Individuals currently conducting such research are now looking at whether the ability of these reprogrammed cells can repair and generate cells in the heart, blood, nerves and other parts of the body. If so, the cells have the potential to treat or cure a number of illnesses and issues in these and other areas.

Others are also studying the cells to determine how conditions occur while developing and testing new medications for trials. The Center for Regenerative Medicine at the Mayo Clinic is at the forefront of this research.

Individuals suffering from Parkinson's and a number of joint related issues have been excellent examples in proving stem cells to be a positive treatment in this area. As a result, doctors, scientists, researchers and those in ongoing trials now consider stem cell treatment to be a viable goal in preventing or curing different conditions in the future.

A great deal of research still needs to be completed for while the therapy has often proved beneficial during research, the trials have also shown unpredictable results. As a result, the success in using these cells in different therapies often relies on funding, regulatory guidelines and future trials. In addition, the Mayo Clinic also has to maintain the safety of patients while conducting trials in this area.

At this time, the Mayo Clinic can provide bone marrow transplants which include stem cells. In most cases, those applying for trials or obtaining treatment include individuals with leukemia, lymphoma and other blood related cancers. While this is the case, there are often studies in this area and others where individuals can qualify based on a number of qualifying questions and answers.

While this is the case, the primary goal of the service is to provide consultation and education related to a number of diseases, illnesses and conditions while answering questions about different therapies. After which, staff members provide guidance as a measure of determining whether these individuals are appropriate for ongoing trials. Whereas, the regenerative medicine staff may also be consulted if an individual or physician has questions about the potential use of stem cell therapies related to issues with the heart, liver, lungs or pancreas.
