Adult Stem Cell Research in Houston

Comments by J. C. Spencer

Adult stem cells when abundant in the body bring health and healing. With fewer and fewer adult stem cells, the vital organs grow weak. We previously reported how specific sugars stimulated proliferation of stem cells. Information on a fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) paper is available in our book store at www.endowmentmed.org

Texas Heart Institute at St. Luke�s Hospital in Houston have a serious adult stem cell research program. I applaud Emerson C. Perin, MD, PhD and his Stem Cell Center at St. Luke�s Hospital. The Stem Cell Center is dedicated to the study of adult stem cells and their role in treating diseases of the heart and the circulatory system. Through many clinical and pre-clinical studies, St. Luke�s has come to realize the potential of stem cells to help patients suffering from cardiovascular disease.

Without heart surgery, the Stem Cell Center is transplanting adult stem cells from the patient�s bone marrow directly into the heart. The short video clips on their website are a must see for the student of stem cell research.
