Medicine's next big thing: Stem cells and schizophrenia?

[Opus]

Lodge hopes his research leads to a stem cell treatment that would be administered to patients in pill form. Taking this therapy from the lab to clinic will take at least 10 years.

Theres a video in the link.

Medicine's next big thing: Stem cells and schizophrenia?

I have to come back to watch the video. I want to know more about this pill for stem cell therapy.

I can’t find the video though.

Sorry i should of elaborated more the video is just what is typed in the section its at the top of the page.

I have read (elsewhere) that they’re developing a drug to give along with stem cell therapy in stroke. Haven’t yet heard of a drug provided on its own - but hey, I guess if they can develop drugs that up or down regulate gene expression, I suppose why not. Technology is so damn amazing.

This is not the same research group, but here’s some people working on a drug treatment targeting PV interneurons, so maybe such a thing is possible.

Brain plasticity restored in adult mice through targeting specific nerve cell

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190108181322.htm The study focused on a subtype of inhibitory cell also found in people called Parvalbumin neurons You might recognize parvalbumin neurons as the type Dr. Lodge and his group used in the rodent stem cell therapy models of schizophrenia. Unlike previous research that broadly manipulated brain plasticity using approaches that affected the entire brain, this study targets for the first time a specific molecule acting on a single type of neuronal connection to modulate brain function. This restores the brain’s ability to rewire itself.

We’re a little late on stem cell research, here in the USA it turned into a political thing back in the 00’s. I hope it’s still not political, we need to do research on those cells to cure or treat so many things.

Very interesting… thanks for posting @Opus!

What do you say if you know that;
1- schizophrenia is an independent health condition,have self-control
2-It is substantial condition have been embodied suddenly in the third decade of life Beside the inherited psychological healthy condition
2-It does not exist inside the brain cells or rooted from the cellular functions
4- It is not a natural part from the cellular content
5-It is not a part from the genetic material or the brain chemical substances
6- it is a whole parasitic health condition in structure and function
7- it is acts and behaves (practice its life cycle) in the human psychic existence,the current conscious mind and all possible time of waking
8- the schizophrenia health condition in the human psychic existence is look like a virus in the organic cell ,i.e it is an external factor

9- what is the effect of stem cells to treating such as schizophrenia ?
it is new psychic being not rooted from the human brain cells because it is an external factor like the virus/bacteria ,it is a whole living psychological component in nature,it is look like the thing you call it “I”/my self or/ the self or/ the soul or the sprite or the personal entity !!
