Today, stem cell therapies are also being studied at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine to prevent acute lung injuries. Embryonic, placental, and umbilical cord stem cell treatments and research continues to focus on unlimited potential to treat, reduce the symptoms of, and perhaps potentially cure, degenerative disease processes such as Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, Alzheimer’s, and medical conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.

Facilities throughout the world, including those in stem cell treatment facilities in Mexico, the Ukraine, South Korea, and Western Europe continue to research adult stem cells, stem cell therapies, and potential stem cell treatments for everything from chronic illnesses to repairing heart, lung, or brain tissue damage by injury or disease processes.

Recently, over $230 million dollars in grants was awarded to a variety of California companies and universities for basic stem cell research in the treatment of diseases like AIDS and cancer.  Today, most stem cell research and development is non embryonic in nature, but individuals anxiously awaiting the legalization of stem cell treatments and procedures in the United States may have some time to wait, prompting many citizens to travel to facilities such as that of Integra, with Dr. Omar Gonzalez or ProgenCell, located in Mexico, or EmCell facilities, located in the Ukraine.

In an effort to hasten the availability of stem cell treatment and research in the United States, a group of American doctors have formed the American Stem Cell Therapy Association, encouraging FDA approval of stem cell research.  Until then, Americans are traveling abroad to reap the benefits of stem cell research and technology.

North Carolina recently joined a number of other states to enact a cord blood education law, which helps departments of Health and Human Services educate the public regarding the preservation and future use of umbilical cord blood stem cells. Among others, the law ‘encourages’ physicians to make such information available to all pregnant parents so they can make informed decisions on  private or public blood banking systems.

The benefit of umbilical cord blood stem cells is vital when a child is faced with a medical illness or diseases. Since the placenta and umbilical cord have traditional been discarded, finding these cells increase the chances of survival when an individual is faced with cancers, blood diseases or other ailments.

Millions of parents have frozen and store their baby’s umbilical cord blood, and their numbers are growing. Stem cell research and development is entering an exciting era, and it is hoped that someday soon, multiple treatments for formerly incurable illnesses and disease processes will be discovered, making storage of umbilical cord blood stem cells invaluable.

Facilities such as EmCell in Ukraine and Integra Medical Center and ProgenCell in Mexico treat patients with a variety of stem cell therapies, including umbilical cord blood stem cell and placenta stem cell therapies.

Umbilical cord blood can be collected after either a cesarean or traditional birth. To collect the blood, parents must supply a cord blood kit which they can get from the cord blood bank where they will be storing the cells. In the event of a traditional birth, the umbilical cord is clamped from both ends and cut. An experienced nurse or obstetrician is often able to collect cord blood even before the placenta is delivered. To gather the cord blood, a small tube is inserted into the umbilical vein and collected, and then additional needles are placed within the delivered placenta to gather more valuable blood and cells.

Recently, stem cell researchers in the United States discovered a compound they can eradicate breast cancer stem cells. Doctors and researchers have long believed the cancer stem cells are nearly indestructible, and many don’t react to chemo or radiation treatments.  A recent publication in Cell, has announced the researchers have discovered a compound that will target specific cancer stem cells, leading to hold that these master cancer cells can be eradicated in individuals suffering from multiple forms of cancer.

Doctors and researchers from around the world have long studied the potential treatments and cures that may be derived from embryonic stem cell research, umbilical cord stem cell research, placenta stem cell therapies and the many uses of various forms of stem cells to treat diseases and illnesses of the human body. The hope for cures for breast cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, and pancreatic, liver and stomach cancer compels researchers in stem cell research facilities around the globe to continually strive to understand the basics of stem cell growth and development.

Research facilities in the United States, as well as those such as Integra and Progencell in Mexico, and EmCell in Ukraine as well as top-notch and state of the art facilities located throughout Europe, South America, Asia and the United States  continue to search for treatments, drugs and procedures that will specifically target and kill cancer stem cells.

Adult embryonic stem cell therapy, as well as adult stem cell therapy protocols are being developed around the world and will continue to offer hope to millions of cancer patients for the ultimate treatment and cure.
