Eye injuries that damage the cornea are usually irreversible and cause blindness. But a new clinical trial has repaired this damage in patients thanks to a transplant of stem cells from their healthy eyes.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: Regenerative, Regenerative Medicine, Eye, Blindness, Sight, Vision, Massachusetts General Hospital, Stem Cells

Experimental antibody drug prevents and even reverses diabetes onset
Posted by ArielTechGeek 363 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Scientists have developed a promising new drug that could prevent and even reverse the onset of type 1 diabetes. The experimental monoclonal antibody drug acts like a shield to protect insulin-producing cells from damage, even extending lifespan in some cases.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Diabetes, Diabetic, antibodies, Johns Hopkins Medicine, The Immune System, Drug, Drugs
Under-skin implant reverses type 1 diabetes without anti-rejection drugs
Posted by ArielTechGeek 511 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Researchers have developed a technique to implant a thread-like device containing insulin-secreting pancreatic cells in a pocket under the skin. The device reversed type 1 diabetes in mice and didn’t require the administration of anti-rejection drugs. The device could one day provide an alternative to insulin injections.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Diabetes, Implant, Hydrogels,
Researchers have developed an "inverse vaccine" that reverses the damage caused when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s healthy organs and tissues in autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis. It could pave the way to a treatment for these diseases that doesn’t require suppressing the entire immune system.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical,
Gene therapy targeting sodium successfully reverses chronic pain
Posted by ArielTechGeek 642 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
The National Institute of Health estimates that 100 million Americans, or around a third of the US population, live with a chronic pain condition. While the economic burden, more than US$500 billion annually, is well documented, increasingly studied is its wide-ranging impact on mental health and the growth in opioid addiction.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: New York University, C
Microparticle therapy reverses MS in 100% of mice, cures one third
Posted by ArielTechGeek 695 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
A new study using microparticle therapy to boost the number of ‘good’ immune cells has reversed the nerve cell damage in mice with multiple sclerosis-like symptoms and cured more than a third. The finding has the potential to lead to new treatments for not only multiple sclerosis but other autoimmune diseases like type 1 diabetes.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Multiple Sclerosis,
Technique reverses heart attack damage by reprogramming scar cells
Posted by ArielTechGeek 739 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
For all they do for us, our hearts aren't very good at repairing themselves. So when a person suffers a heart attack, their blood pump is left with a large amount of scar tissue, which can impede the organ's flexibility and thereby its function. Inspired by the way young hearts heal themselves, researchers have now found a way to transmute scar tissue into healthy tissue in mice, thereby walking
