The first study of people using dental stems published

We are thrilled the report exciting development research of stem cells: the first test people using dental stem cells was released on 12 November in the journal European cells and materials! It's a wonderful message for our dental pulp national laboratory that maintains the dental stem cells and has long believed in its potential for future use.

In studies of patients had wisdom teeth that were the impact that caused the loss of bone (resorption) on the impaction. Because the defects of the bones would not repair itself after teeth of wisdom have been removed, the researchers applied a mixture of dental pulp stem cells harvested from the patient uniaxial, the upper teeth of wisdom and you place them on made of collagen sponge "scaffold". This mixture is then used to fill in the areas affected, which remained at impact teeth were removed from the lower jaw. (Area of the upper jaw served as a control area or comparison — not dental stem cells were used).

Three months after treatment, the bone was completely regenerate the site of injury and periodontal tissues have been restored. Optimal bone regeneration was seen in seven patients who returned for follow-up. Researchers found that the clinical research shows that dental stem cells and collagen Sponge scaffold completely you can restore bone defects of human jaw and indicates that these cells have the potential to repair or reconstruct tissues and organs

Previously, JAWS defects have been repaired using dental stem cells in animal model — never in humans. In fact, not therapy dental stem cells have ever been shown in humans. As you can guess, this bone grafting research is very exciting for all of us who believe in the future of promise dental stem cell therapy — whether dental stem cell banking facility as our own NDPL, or people who want to keep their own or their children's pulp is a source of stem cells, which could be placed on the future needs of the medical.

New Study Shows Cord Blood Stem Cells May Treat Type 1 Diabetes

A newly published clinical trial result reports treating Type 1 diabetics T-Cells with umbilical cord blood stem cells helped restart pancreatic function and insulin production.  The process is called “re-education” as the newly introduced T-Cells improved the behavior of the patients own T-Cells.

The study recruited 15 Type 1 diabetic patients, twelve of which had the treatment with three in the control group.  In the study the 12 participants had their T-Cells – which had been separated from their blood – pumped into a device named the “stem cell educator”.  There the patients stem cells were exposed to the cord blood stem cells for three hours.  Then the stem cells are pumped back into the participants’ blood.

The study showed that the patients who could not create their own insulin prior to the treatment were able to create insulin after the treatment.  One year after the study those patients who received the treatment continued to manufacture some of their own insulin with eight of the patients reducing insulin usage by 38%.
