Latest Treatment for ALS

Latest Treatment for ALS

ALS is the abbreviation of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. As we all known, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis means patients in a very sober condition, and the common symptoms are "frozen" to live, can't move, can't talk, can't swallow, until(even)can't breathe. More desperate, today is still unable to provide any effective treatments, in other words, this kind of disease is unlikely to cure. ALS is a motor neuron disease, and is involved in motor neuron (brain, brain stem and spinal cord), and affects the motor neurons (cranial nerve, spinal cord anterior horn cells) and dominate the torso and limbs and head of facial muscles of a chronic progressive degenerative disease. It often characterized by upper and lower motor neuron damaged mixed paralysis of merger in Clinical. Patients with disease of unknown etiology; there is no effective therapy, and the average survival time is three to five years. Fortunately, the stem cell treatment has brought new hope for ALS treatment. Cell centers in the stem cells to treat ALS, China have more than 10 years and represent the top level of stem cell level in the world. The researchers found that stem cells are a group of undifferentiated cells and have self - differentiation function and self-renewal. Stem cells have the regenerative function to repair or replace damaged cells, rebuild neural circuits’ ability to repair the cell plays an important role. Clinical experience has shown that stem cell treatment can effectively improve dyskinesia and delay progress of ALS. In the mice of experiments, after injected stem cell，the mice life expectancy is 3 or 4 times longer than those had no injection China center cell is the first stem cell research and treatment center in the world. The stem cell treatment began in 2004, and obtains Chinese armed police headquarters and the Chinese government's approval and support. In the past 10 years, more than 7700 patients have already benefited from stem cell treatment, and there are more than 200 patients with ALS. Efficiency reached 90%, most of the patients have been improved Although people are unable to cure ALS completely, the arrival of the stem cell treatment for ALS brought new hope. China Cell center will help ALS patients live more independent, comfortable and slow down the disease. Therefore, stem cell treatment is considered to be the best treatment method of ALS.
