On 27th August,2008 Dr. George Daley and Kevin Eggan, scientists of the Harvard University made a breakthrough announcement regarding the creation of stem cells from patients with a variety of diseases. They say that this disease-specific stem cells will reshape medicine, as stem cells will make the cells to grow in the petri dish of the lab which will increase the chance of study of all degenerative diseases.

Harvard University researchers have successfully found that the stem cell therapy can be used as a way to boost the body’s ability to replace or produce new tissues. Transplanting adult stem cells into mice with an illness like muscular dystrophy (MD) helped rebuild muscle structure and strength. Thus the study presents a prospect of similar treatments for people with the condition in near future.

A team of researchers at the Ohio State University in Columbus, have tested all newborns boys for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and the result is found feasible and effective. Creatine kinase testing of newborn boys, with follow-up DNA analysis in those with positive results, has identified two cases of DMD among nearly 5,000 births. In both cases, the infants’ creatine kinase levels were higher than 2,400 U/L.
