I'm sorry now I can type English only, Stem cell therapy has good effect on acute brain injury, it can promote neurogenesis. However, the effect of stem cell therapy for cerebral palsy in human was still on debate. The biology of stem cells is not well enough understood in chronic injuries or disorders such as cerebral palsy. I hope the experiment will get good result, however, the families should remember it is not a "therapy", but an "experiment" (even in USA). The doctor may not be sure of the result, and can't expect the side-effect. It was why we need "IRB" (INSTITUTIONAL REVIEW BOARD). I don't think our goverment was too conservative. In contrast, it was build for protect the subjects. Read More: http://informahealthcare.com/doi/abs/10.1517/14712598.2011.557060
By the way, please don't inject stem cells for the child without research bases and IRB! (I means the parents in Kaoshung) It is dangerous! Stem cells was high-proliferative and multipotent. (Do you know anything else having similar characteristics? cancer cells !) It could become any cells that you don't expect without correct control. (原作者於 2013-05-30 11:35:37 重新編輯過)
