Scientists at the Scripps Research Institute used a mouse model of cystinosis, a genetic disease that can afflict children as young as six months old, causes deteriorating kidney function and inevitable kidney failure. Stephanie Cherqui, the scientist who developed the mouse model, said that adult bone marrow stem cell therapy is particularly well suited as a potential treatment for cystinosis because these cells target all types of tissues, and also reside in the bone marrow for the duration of a patient’s life.

They disparately need to have this disease stopped. When are the people with MS going to be treated with adult stem cell? They disparately need to have this disease stopped.

It is very encouraging to see positive results and directions to reduce physical problems. Thanks for the stem cell research reports.
