According to the Russian Ministry of Health, scientists are working on new methods impact on the already formed oncologic process with the help of stem cells. A clear advantage of this method is that the use of stem cells allows not to bring the body to the general intoxication.
These cells function smoothly even after 15 months of use. Today, Parkinson’s disease affects about 10 million. People all over the world.
However, in some cases, in the brains of patients implanted neurostimulator, but it could cause severe side effects and with it was impossible to monitor the progress of the disease.
Recent studies in animal models have shown that transplantation of embryonic stem cells improves motor function, but it is still considered unsafe because it can cause the development of brain tumors. The second group of mice implanted stem cells without pre-treatment with mitomycin C, and the third group of mice treated with anti-cancer agent introduced stem cells.
Meanwhile, in October last year, scientists from Harvard reported a method causes the stem cells to produce toxic agents which fatally affect tumor and do not affect normal cells. The third group of mice showed a completely different result. Mitomycin C is used in the treatment of many types of cancers. Scientists believe that the success of their work is an important step in the fight against Parkinson’s disease.
