A NEW STEM CELL TREATMENT HOLDS GREAT PROMISE FOR AGING MUSCLES

Release date: 2/24/2014

The new adult stem cell based method can help restore strength to damaged skeletal muscles in the elderly.

Dallas, Texas, U.S. – [Date] – A new adult stem cell based treatment may well restore muscle function and strength to the elderly according to a research study just released from the University of Toronto. 

With the ever increasing population of elderly worldwide, loss of skeletal muscle function and strength has become a significant chronic condition. It is estimated that people lose 15% of muscle mass each year after the age of 75, and up until now that loss has been irreversible and often devastating. Skeletal muscles support basic functions such as sitting, standing, blinking, and swallowing.

Co-author of the study Assistant Professor Penney Gilbert at University of Toronto notes that during aging some stem cells experience a protein modification that impedes the growth of new stem cells. According to Gilbert, “The new method allowed the aged cells to grow and make more copies of themselves.” By transplanting these rejuvenated stem cells into injured or aged muscles tissue, they were able to return strength to levels on par with young, healthy tissue.

Contacted for his opinion, the 79-year-old founder and chairman of the Repair Stem Cells Institute (www.RepairStemCells.com) Don Margolis stated, “The new study is great news for those of us in this age category, and it supports what we at RSCI have been saying for years about the regenerative and restorative power of adult stem cells.” Margolis further noted that “I understand that the new stem cell treatment also has the potential to significantly shorten and improve recovery from hip replacement surgery for the elderly.”


The Repair Stem Cells Institute is the world’s only stem cell patients’ advocacy group whose mission is to Educate, Advocate, and Empower people to make educated choices about their medical conditions and treatments in order to lead longer and more fulfilling lives.

Currently, adult stem cell treatment is being used to help patients recover from over 150 debilitating chronic conditions previously thought to be untreatable, including the “Big Three” – Heart Disease, Diabetes, and Cancer -- as well as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Spinal Cord Injury, Cerebral Palsy, Renal Failure, Arthritis, and Autism. A full list of diseases stem cells can help can be found on the RSCI website. To date, commercial stem cell treatments have been used by over 30,000 patients with a more than 65% success rate.
