- - may lead to heat stroke treatment.
Scientists in Taiwan have found
that intravenous injections of stem cells derived from human exfoliated
deciduous tooth pulp (SHED) have a protective effect against brain damage from
heat stroke in mice. Their finding was safe and effective and so may be a
candidate for successfully treating human patients by preventing the
neurological damage caused by heat stroke.[1]
According to the research team,
these cells have "significantly higher proliferation rates" than stem
cells from bone marrow and have the added advantages of being easy to harvest
and express several growth factors, including vascular endothelial growth
factor (VEGF), and they can promote the migration and differentiation of
neuronal progenitor cells (NPCs).[2]
It may not be too long before
stem cells are harvested at your local dental office. If we can answer any of your questions,
