Experimental stem cell therapy helps restore paralyzed man’s movement.

Fox News, September 12, 2016.

When Kris Boesen’s car fishtailed on a wet road, hitting a tree and slamming into a telephone poll, the 21-year-old never thought he would walk again. But results from an early-stage clinical trial using stem cells to restore movement have given the 21-year-old promise that his spinal cord injury may one day be reversed, Fox 5 Atlanta reported.
Boesen, of Bakersfield, California, qualified for the study at the Keck Medical Center of the University of Southern California (USC).
“He was extremely excited about having an opportunity to try to do something—to get better than he was at that point,” Boesen’s father, Rodney Boesen, told the news station.
Doctors told the young man that he’d likely never have movement or sensation below his neck, but the trial aimed to improve those functions.
In early April— within two weeks to 30 day of Boesen’s injury— neurosurgeon Charles Liu and his team injected 10 million stem cells, called AST-OPC1 cells, directly into his cervical spinal cord, Fox 5 Atlanta reported. Within two weeks, the effects of his accident began to improve.
“Patients who suffer these disabilities want more than anything else to do something for themselves,” says Dr. Liu, director of the USC Neurorestoration Center, told the news station. “They want to be more independent, less dependent. It makes all of us appreciate how important it is that we can do these things.”

Adult Stem Cells: The Best Kept Secret In Medicine.

By DAVID PRENTICE. Research Director, Charlotte Lozier Institute, The Daily Caller, Aug 22, 2016.

Stem cell therapies and their lifesaving results are arguably the best kept medical secret. Stem cells are currently being used in several thousand FDA-approved clinical trials, are treating tens of thousands of patients every year, and cumulatively over 1.5 million people have been treated to date. Yet these numbers, and the lifesaving results from stem cells for dozens of conditions, are unknown to most. Why the information blackout? Perhaps for lack of an adjective.
You see, those heartening numbers are all due to adult stem cells. Long ignored by the media and disparaged even by many in the scientific community, adult stem cells – those not dependent on the destruction of embryos – are the true gold standard for stem cells, especially when it comes to treating patients.
A recent New York Times piece provides a perfect example of the disinformation campaign. Early on, the author discusses the theoretical nature of stem cell treatments and bemoans the fact that “progress is slow,” almost all the research “is still in mice or petri dishes,” and “The very few clinical trials that have begun are still in the earliest phase.”
Whether through ignorance or bias, the sole focus is clearly on embryonic stem cells. Such writing, however, serves to confuse, not illuminate, the facts about stem cells and therapies.
