The Facts on Central Nervous System
Disorders (Spinal Cord and Brain)

There are an estimated 50 million Americans affected by diseases or disorders of the spinal cord and brain. The list of disorders includes the following: spinal cord injury, memory loss, addiction, schizophrenia, learning disability, depression, violence, stroke, brain injury, dementia, suicide and many others. Today, diseases affecting both the spinal cord and brain can be treated using stem cells derived from cord blood and bone marrow. The biosciences medical field has made great strides in order to help those affected by such diseases and injuries.

More than 90% of the American population has experienced or will experience the effects of a brain-related, mental, emotional or behavioral, disease, disorder or injury at some point in their lives. Spinal cord injuries affect 250,000 Americans, costing more than $10 billion yearly. Head injuries have disabled two million individuals, costing the country $25 billion annually. Strokes affect 500,000 new people every year, costing the national economy $25 billion yearly. Spinal cord and brain disorders including blindness and other eye injuries impact the American economy in excess of $400 billion a year, on direct health care costs and additional indirect lifetime costs. Individual suffering and loss to society, however, are almost impossible to quantify.

    Researchers at Mt. Sinai made an important finding in the field of stem cell research that can have an impact on how doctors treat heart disease. Health reporter Kafi Drexel filed the following report.
  • Standing up for stem cell research
    Bill Orr is certain he's going to walk again. The 50-year-old Aurora man makes that bold pronouncement from the wheelchair he's been in since age 25. Which means it was a quarter century ago that the accident on Route 31 left him a quadriplegic. The procedure he hopes will make it possible is amazing, as well - and plenty controversial.
  • 1st high school stem cell curriculum offered
    California is home to some of the world's most promising stem cell research, but to sustain the industry, the state will need an ever-increasing army of trained workers - from lab technicians to top-level researchers - and a healthy backbone of nonscientists...

  • UM stem cell research may help heart-attack victims
    A medical research team led by University of Miami doctors injected stem cells into the hearts of pigs that had been damaged by heart attacks. Within two months, the doctors said, the stem cells made the pigs' hearts good as new.
  • Adult Stem Cell Research Far Ahead Of Embryonic
    A few months ago, Dr. Thomas Einhorn was treating a patient with a broken ankle that wouldn't heal, even with multiple surgeries. So he sought help from the man's own body. Einhorn drew bone marrow from the man's pelvic bone with a needle, condensed it to about four teaspoons of rich red liquid, and injected that into his ankle. Four months later the ankle was healed.
