Director's Notes
I recently attended the World Stem Cell Summit. Hadassah Medical Organization from Israel provided an update on the research taking place at the institution. Professor Dimitrios Karussis, M.D., Director of the Multiple Sclerosis Center and Senior Physician in the Department of Neurology of Haadassah spoke about his research related to Multiple Sclerosis.
Dr. Karussis is using stem cells from patients suffering from M.S. and cultivating them in a lab then injecting them back into the patient. The results include more mobility and movement with M.S. patients. One of his patients spoke about her experience. Malia Litman, an attorney from Dallas was diagnosed with M.S. seventeen years ago. Malia underwent multiple treatment regimens with no success. She recently underwent Dr. Karussis’ stem cell therapy treatment. The treatment provided her with an improvement in walking, motor skills, memory and speech. Malia is now a national activist for Hadassah Medical Organization’ stem cell therapy research. Dr. Karussis works with researchers around the world as he continues his trials that have shown promising results for patients suffering from diseases which affect the nervous system. The research taking place at the MS Center at Washington University in St. Louis, and around the world is exciting and moving cures and therapies forward!
