How could fetal tissue repair brain damage?!
Question: How could fetal tissue repair brain damage!?
I know it produces chemicals which the brain lacks in!. But can someone elaborate a bit on it!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Are you talking about stem cells!? They reproduce into whatever type of cell they are around!. So if you put some into a bowl (or a persons head, I guess) with brain tissue, theoretically, they will reproduce into healthy brain tissue, replacing the damaged brain tissue!. Thats the simplest version of it!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
My understanding of this is that with fetal tissue there are undifferentiated cells!. Basically, they haven't been told what to grow into yet!.!.!. If you use this to help repair brain damage it could possibly grow new tissue to replace damaged area!. I am not sure if this is exactly right but this is just what I am remembering from college Bio a few years ago!. I hope it sort of helped!Www@Answer-Health@Com
The UCSD Alzheimers study group publishes a news letter I happened to see that recounted a study where in two separate trials a total of eight Alzheimers patients were given injections of stem cells!. Unfortunately, in the first group, one of the patients developed an aneurism and died, but the procedure was modified and none of the other patients had such an episode!. As I recall the report, all of the other patients benefitted; some totally stopped the progress of the disease and I think some might have even reversed it!. See if you can find that newsletter, maybe its even on line somewhere, it was fairly recent, within the last 8 months or so!. Very hopeful work, I hope it leads somewhere!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Fetal Tissue Implant:
Is implanting tissue from a fetus to a patient for treatment of disease!.
it produces dopamine, which lacks in the patient's brain!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Fetal tissue has no cell specialization yet so when it's placed near the brain it develops into brain cells!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Health science is amazing, its like a cadaver bone used in my knee to make cartiledge grow back!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
basically if you stick a stem cell next to the damaged cells they kinda become the cells that your brain needsWww@Answer-Health@Com
