Can Stem Cells treat Cerebral Palsy?
In short, yes. More importantly, it can be done safely. At Beike Biotechnology, mesenchymal stem cells are acquired from donated umbilical cord tissue and blood shortly after a baby’s birth, and are subjected to strict and thorough safety protocols with multiple safety certifications. These stem cells are very safe because … read more
Study Finds Umbilical Cord Derived Stem Cells Effective in Cerebral Palsy Patients
Is there cure for cerebral palsy? A study has been done on the efficacy of human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cell infusion for children with cerebral palsy. CP currently has two generally successful methods of treatment, stem cell therapy and rehabilitation. Typically, in stem cell therapy it is more … read more
U.S. Cord Blood Bank May Help Characterize Cerebral Palsy Patients, Study Shows
Study for Cerebral Palsy Patients At Longitudinal Umbilical Stem Cell Monitoring and Treatment Research (LUSTRE), a private U.S. cord blood bank, researchers say registry data may be able to provide important insight into patients with cerebral palsy. The study compared children with cerebral palsy enrolled in LUSTRE to children of the … read more
Brain Injury Treatment with Cord Blood Stem Cells
Study shows cell therapy could repair brain injury A mice study has found that cord blood stem cells, stem cells derived from the umbilical cord, can protect nerve cells from injury caused before birth. The results give positive reinforcement to the push for more cell therapies as potential therapeutic alternatives … read more
Als and Stem Cell Therapy
ALS, often known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, and further made famous after Stephen Hawking’s diagnosis, is a progressive disease without a cure. There are about 15 new cases diagnosed every day, and most people with ALS will die within 3 to 5 years. Understanding, and therefore treatment options for the condition … read more

Breakthrough Spinal Cord Injury Treatment on Monkey
Human stem cells restore movement in monkey after spinal cord injury After four failed attempts, researchers have finally figured out how to place a graft of human stem cells into a monkey’s spinal cord to create new cells and promote healing. There were a number of challenges that slowed the … read more
Mice With Friedreich’s Ataxia Experience Nerve Cell Repair After Bone Marrow Transplants
A study has found that bone marrow transplants can restore nerve cell damage in mice with Friedreich’s ataxia (FA), forming new nerve cells and improving movement. FA is a genetic disorder caused by an FXN gene mutation for frataxin. Frataxin is a protein that allows the mitochondria in cells to … read more
