Nose cell transplant enables paralysed dogs to walk
Nose cell transplant enables paralysed dogs to walk
Jasper the dachshund walking again
Scientists have reversed paralysis in dogs after injecting them with cells grown from the lining of their nose.
The pets had all suffered spinal injuries which prevented them from using their back legs. The Cambridge University team is cautiously optimistic the technique could eventually have a role in the treatment of human patients.
The study is the first to test the transplant in "real-life" injuries rather than laboratory animals.
Olfactory ensheathing cells
The only part of the body where nerve fibres continue to grow in adults is the olfactory system.
Found in the at the back of the nasal cavity, olfactory
ensheathing cells (OEC) surround the receptor neurons that both enable
us to smell and convey these signals to the brain.
The nerve cells need constant replacement which is promoted by the OECs.
For decades scientists have thought OECs might be useful in
spinal cord repair. Initial trials using OECs in humans have suggested
the procedure is safe.

Meditation may reduce risk of dying from heart attack, strokes
Transcendental Meditation may help black people with heart disease avoid
an early death from heart attack or stroke, new research shows.
"It appears that Transcendental Meditation is a technique that turns on the body's own pharmacy -- to repair and maintain itself," study author Dr. Robert Schneider, director of the Institute for Natural Medicine and Prevention in Fairfield, Iowa and dean of Maharishi College of Perfect Health, said in a press release.
The study was published in the Nov. 13 issue of the journal Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes.

Black Tea Lowers Type 2 Diabetes Risk .
In countries where people commonly drink black tea, the rates of Type 2
diabetes are lower, according to a new study. The new research supports
earlier studies that suggests that drinking black tea regularly reduces the risk of diabetes.
Black tea contains a number of complex flavonoids that have been linked with several potential health benefits, the researchers noted. The brewing process releases these flavonoids.

Donated Stem Cells Can Repair Hearts
Researchers are reporting a key advance in using stem cells to repair
hearts damaged by heart attacks. In a study, stem cells donated by
strangers proved as safe and effective as patients' own cells for
helping restore heart tissue.
