Autism: The Role Of Stem Cell Treatment
Potential of Stem Cell Treatments for Autism
In June of 2007 an article was published in a peer-reviewed journal (1) proposing a role for stem cell therapy in treating autism. The account that follows provides a perspective on the implications and prevalence of autism, as well as a synopsis and a critique of the proposed use of stem cells to treat the major symptoms of autism disorder.
Autism
Autism is a complex brain developmental disorder that is characterised by impaired social interactions, communication difficulties, obsessive attachment to routines and repetition, and often an extreme dislike of certain sounds, textures and tastes. Autism usually surfaces in the first three years of life and may vary in severity from mild to disabling. Depending on degree of severity, some children with autism may develop into independent adults with full time employment and self-sufficiency; however this is seldom the case (2). There is no known single cause but abnormalities in brain function are generally attributed to environmental, immunological and neurological factors.
Social costs
It is reported as one of the fastest-growing developmental disabilities in the US, with diagnoses having increased by staggering proportions in the last decade (2). An estimated 1.5 million children and adults in the U.S. currently (as at 2007) have some form of autism (2). Presenting these statistics another way; autism spectrum disorders are believed to affect approximately 1 in 166 children (1).
Children with autism suffer from two major conditions: Hypoperfusion and Immune Dysregulation
Hypoperfusion of the brain in autism
Children with autism have shown impaired blood flow (hypoperfusion) to the brain. Hypoperfusion may contribute to functional defects not only by inducing hypoxia (an oxygen deficit that prevents normal brain function) but also by allowing for abnormal metabolite or neurotransmitter accumulation. Hypothetically, if perfusion can be improved through the revitalisation of blood vessels (angiogenesis), then this should also allow for metabolite clearance and restoration of functionality.
Immune dysregulation in autism
Successful neurodevelopment is contingent upon a normal balanced immune response. Children with autism have immune systems that do not function normally; instead an autoimmune response of the nervous system appears to prevail (3). Astrocytes (supportive brain cells) that normally play a critical role in regulating perfusion [reviewed in 1] and protection against central nervous system infection, have the potential to cause damage to the host when functioning in an aberrant (i.e. auto-immune) manner. Autistic children often have continually suppressed immune systems and chronic inflammation. Immune dysregulation

“Diabetics Cured By Stem-cell Treatment”?

Question by Chico Infierno: “Diabetics Cured By Stem-cell Treatment”?
Do you think this might influence the hearts and minds of diabetics who are opposed to stem cell research on moral or religious grounds?
www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/health/article1637528.ece
“Diabetics using stem-cell therapy have been able to stop taking insulin injections for the first time, after their bodies started to produce the hormone naturally again.
In a breakthrough trial, 15 young patients with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes were given drugs to suppress their immune systems followed by transfusions of stem cells drawn from their own blood…..”
Try tell us what you think about this issue without bashing, Thanks! Love ya all!

Answer by ZER0 C00L™
I don’t think they have a problem with stem cells “drawn from their own blood”, but they do have a problem getting stem cells from 150 cell embryos which are created and then prevented from developing.

Stem Cell Research: Medical Applications And Ethical Controversy (The New Biology)
This is an informative reference to the technological advances, applications, and issues of stem cell research. The past few years have seen controversy and debate surrounding stem cell research. Because skin cells have the capability to divide – unlike most of the cells in our body – our skin can heal itself through the division of cells. Scientists have attempted to apply this concept to major organs, trying to see if stem cells can be used to make the repairs that post-mitotic cells cannot. ”
