Lower Back Pain Stem Cell Therapy
treatment of disc degenerative disease using stem cells in mice. We discuss a paper by Fan Yang et al. in the journal Molecular Therapy entitled “Mesenchymal Stem Cells Arrest Intervertebral Disc Degeneration Through Chondrocytic Differentiation and Stimulation of Endogenous Stem Cells

Im interested in …
Im interested in seeking this treatment. I have a question, however. If a disc or multiple discs are degenerated and therefore shorter in height…would stem cells not only heal the disc but also increase the height of the disc……therefore increasin the height of the patient ( im guessing by 2-3 cm for mutliple discs)??
just dont add …
just dont add platelet rich plasma WITH stem cells in the nucleus pulposus because there is at least one paper suggesting that instead of chondrocytes you get bone
there are many pros …
there are many pros and cons to stem cell therapy, you may try to look just at something like platelet rich plasma, it seems a lot easier than putting in whole stem cells
good call…may …
good call…may need to through it some MMP inhibitor or some TIMPs to get a bigger effect !
the stem cells may …
the stem cells may express a lot of matrix metalloproteases that could actually accelerate the process of nucleus pulposus degradation, no?
Great presentation …
Great presentation Tom!!!
i wonder biological …
i wonder biological significance of having nucleus pulposus immunologically inert?
this is compelling …
this is compelling evidence that the simply process of injecting stem cells into the back can have some pretty profound effects. This may be one of te easiest to treat conditions since the nucleus pulposus is full of functional fas ligand…so this means that you dont need to inject cells from the same donor bu tyou can use allogeneic cells as universal stem cell donors. while in the paper they talk about mesenchymal stem cells, ii dont see anything wrong with expanding autologous NP cells

Another great video Tom! I get excited every time I see a mesenchymal repair something new. Keep it up! Rick.

interesting that stem cells can also be used for this condition
