ALS: UMBILICAL CORD BLOOD CELL TRANSPLANTS MAY HELP PATIENTS
Transplants of mononuclear human umbilical cord blood cells may help
patients suffering from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, also known as
Lou Gehrig's disease, according to researchers at the University of
South Florida. In results published at PloS ONE, researchers
determined that the moderate-strength dose of human umbilical cord
blood cells was most effective in increasing lifespan and reducing
disease progression in mice. ALS is a disease in which the motor
neurons in the spinal cord and brain degenerate, leaving its victims
with progressive muscle weakness, paralysis and, finally, respiratory
failure three to five years after diagnosis. Researchers said
modulating immune and inflammatory effectors with human umbilical
cord blood cells could have a protective effect on dying motor
neurons. The team had previously shown that human umbilical cord
blood cell transplants reduced inflammation and provided
neuroprotection in models of stroke and Alzheimer's disease.
