replies: text: Dear MoHaG, Let me just be quick: Wrong.  The article that you cite refers to the most famous embryonic stem cell quack the world has ever known, Hwang Woo-Suk, a Korean scientist that exploited the over-blown hype of the embyronic stem cell research that Ron Reagan, Jr. and John Edwards created during the 2004 Presidential campaign.  The Korean scientists referred to in this Wikipedia article, that you incorrectly point to as a fraud, are a team of Korean scientists led by Hoon Han, who posseses an M.D. and a Ph.D.  You are confusing the wonderful work done by an adult stem cell researcher, Dr. Han, and the bogus, fraudulent work done by Dr. Woo-Suk, a quack embryonic stem cell researcher.  Please check your facts.  the MSNBC artice that you refer to clearly talks about Dr Woo-Suk, not Dr. Han.  Also, if you read the article that you cited, the MSNBC article, then you would have read: "The scientist had claimed in two papers published in the journal Science in 2004 and 2005 that he created the world’s first cloned human embryos and extracted stem cells from them."  It does NOT state in anyway that Dr. Woo-Suk was working on spinal cord therapy work, the work that Dr. Han engaged in and is the work referred to in the Wikipedia article that you incorrectly criticize. --70.114.205.215 20:55, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: (Redirected from Regenerative medicine)

message: I just took a firm hand and edited the page - it was becoming a bit wooly & out of control. Amongst the changes:
* I removed a section on muscle stem cell therapy - it was on cardiac (heart) stem cell therapy & was completely unreferenced. I know of work on human stem cell therapy for muscular dystrophy that would go well in a muscle section, and if anyone wants to look into it before I get a chance, then go ahead.
* I reordered everything to make it flow better - all the human therapies, animal therapies, controversy, then "updates". I actually think the updates stuff doesn't add much, but I thought I'd let people make comments before cutting these bits completely.
* I cut back the sections of the controversy blurb that went into detail about US policy. 
* I did take a scrub cutter to the Stem cell therapies in China section. It seemed like an adverstisement for Chinese Biotech. Completely biased and inadequately referenced. I didn't cut the whole section as it is good to have non-US aspects to the page, though from a purely impartial standpoint I don't think it adds much to someone who wants to know about stem cell treatments. If there were some specific Chinese study results that were reported that would be something! 
Anyway, that's my 2c for today. Dr Aaron 07:48, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: cleanup tag removal?

message: The Chinese therapy section here needed a lot of work.  Beike is not the only company delivering therapy but I don't want to start a list inappropriately. At the same time, I'm interested to see how the Wikipedia community responds to sources outside of the western milieu.  I'm researching the Chinese stem cell industry right now and, American standards of medical exploration aside, they're confidently delivering therapy to thousands of people here and now without fear.  The top part of the article seems appropriate only through the lens of ethnocentric exclusion.  Stem cell therapies are being delivered around the world--not just in China.  It might be useful, and academically fascinating, to point out the dissonance between the eastern and western approaches to this science rather than simply deny therapy validity on western grounds of insufficient back-story--any FDA-approved process.  The FDA's own historiographic vetting system is designed toward the anticipation of a short-term chemical rather than a long-term biological product.  
It will be interesting to watch the development of this article.  Like Columbus 'discovering' the new world and the native populations saying "Wait a sec," will the record resolve down to, as Eddie Izzard says, whether or not "you have a flag"?

message: In reading this, I saw nothing about the negative side effects of treatment.  There are multiple cases of uncontrolled tumors, deadly rejections, and other potentially deadly side effects.  Is it that they have not been added, or have they been removed when included?  I find it hard to believe it should be so one sided.  Mushrom (talk) 21:17, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Nothing Negative?

message: This section contains a link to a private, commercial website.  ("First Commercial Adult Stem Cell Application in the US." http://www.regenexx.com.)  Furthermore, the treatment they are discussing is currently neither approved by the FDA nor in an FDA-approved trial.  There have been a couple articles written about single individuals who seem to have benefitted from treatment, but there have no trials with more than one patient that have been published, not to mention there are no placebo controls in the studies.  While perhaps someday stem cells will be used for orthopedic conditions, for now I think we need to make it very, very clear that this use is still in the early experimental stage.  --Abbaroodle (talk) 19:50, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

message: I moved the boxed section below to here, because I don't think it's very helpful to the reader as it is written now. Rather, I fear it will become an ever growing target to dump any random trivia or rumor that has anything to do with stem cells.

It was reported in the New York Times (14 August 2006), by Nicholas Wade, that some scientists see a shift in stem cell hopes.  Several mentioned that the main role of stem cells was in research. Many no longer see cell therapy as the first goal of the research, parting company with those whose near-term expectations for cell therapy remain high.Some Scientists See Shift in Stem Cell Hopes - New York Times
Thomas M. Jessell, a neurobiologist at Columbia University said "Many of us feel that for the next few years the most rational way forward is not to push stem cell therapies."

An article from "The Australian", by Leigh Dayton, Science writer, May 28, 2009 "Stem cells used to restore sight for corneal disease sufferers" names some of the involved people and institutions who were responsible for the breakthrough. 
Beginning 18 months ago, 3 Australian volunteers with near or total blindness from corneal disease in one eye underwent an uncomplicated, fairly inexpensive proceedure that improved and eventually restored vision in a short time with no negative side effects reported that I can find.
The team leader is University of New South Wales stem cell scientist Nick Di Girolamo. A team member is Stephanie Watson - an opthalmic surgeon with Sydney's Prince of Wales Hospital.

Perhaps we should start a section on that. We could include this study, which suggests it might actually work.

message: Since stem cells have the ability to replace old and diseased cells, they can be used to treat many diseases. Although using human embryonic stem cells has moral or religious objections and many scientists prefer to use adult stem cells instead of embryonic stem cells, Embryonic stem cells have the ability to produce all types of cells in the body, but adult stem cells have the ability to form just specialized types of cells.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ghadisu (talk • contribs) 00:24, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

;Mexico===
Stem-cell treatment is currently being practiced at a clinical level in Mexico. An International Health Department Permit (COFEPRIS) is required. Authorized centers are found in Mexicali, Tijuana, Guadalajara and Cancun. Currently undergoing the approval process is Los Cabos. This permit allows the use of stem cell.
;Middle East
Since 2008 many universities, centers and doctors tried a diversity of methods; in Lebanon proliferation for stem cell therapy, in-vivo and in-vitro techniques were used, Thus this country is considered the launching place of the Regentimehttp://www.regentime.com procedure. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/281712114_Treatment_of_Long_Standing_Multiple_Sclerosis_with_Regentime_Stem_Cell_Technique
The regenerative medicine also took place in Jordan and Egypt.
;Ukraine
Today, Ukraine is permitted to perform clinical trials of stem-cell treatments (Order of the MH of Ukraine № 630 "About carrying out clinical trials of stem cells", 2008) for the treatment of these pathologies: pancreatic necrosis, cirrhosis, hepatitis, burn disease, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, critical lower limb ischemia. The first medical institution granted the right to conduct clinical trials became the "Institute of Cell Therapy"(Kiev).

While the suctioned fat cells are permanently gone, after a few months overall body fat generally returned to the same level as before treatment.  This is despite maintaining the previous diet and exercise regimen. While the fat returned somewhat to the treated area, most of the increased fat occurred in the abdominal area. Visceral fat - the fat surrounding the internal organs - increased, and this condition has been linked to life-shortening diseases such as diabetes, stroke, and heart attack.
