Stem Cells Treating Patients with Autism
Autism is a type of developmental disorder which includes disability in interaction and development of language. It is detected in the children at an early age and is persisted towards adulthood. However, it mainly affects the ability to communicate and to interact with others. Doctors mostly diagnose autism on the basis of social communication and […]
Autologous Cord Blood Stem Cells – a Promise for Autism Spectrum Disorder
2nd April is recognized every year as the World Autism Awareness Day by United Nations in order to spread awareness about the disorder throughout the world. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects the communication and behavior of the individual. This disorder may occur at any age, it is mostly diagnosed in […]
One Scientist’s Quest to Understand Autism Using Stem Cells
Meet Alysson Muotri, an autism researcher and a professor at UC San Diego. His research mostly revolves around autism and how stem cell therapy impacts the brain development. His study is based on pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), collected from people with autism. The researchers in his team are using the stem cells to model the […]
Autism Study Results with Cord Blood Stem Cells
We all know that autism cannot be cured. But Duke Center for Autism and Brain Development researchers have found a way to alleviate the symptoms of autism, thereby offering a better life for children with the condition. And the key to this therapy lies within their own umbilical cord blood stem cells. The researchers at […]
Stories of Hope – Cord Blood Stem Cells Offer Hope For Autism
What is autism? What makes autistic people different from others? What causes autism? There are hundreds of questions in people’s mind when it comes to this condition. What is it actually? Autism is a mental condition that remains present from the early childhood days and lasts for a lifetime. It’s characterized by minor to major […]
Stem Cell Therapy for Autism
For long now, doctors and scientists studying autism and autism spectrum disorders have debated the merits of using stem cells to cure the brain disorder. There have also been attempts in the West to study the effects of one’s own stem cells banked at birth in the generation of viable neurons in the brain. For […]
