WHAT CAN STEM CELLS DO? 

I was born with a cleft lip and pallette leaving no bone where one of my front four teeth should be. In order to get a dental implant, you need bone to attach it to. Bone transplant didn't work. Not enough blood flow. But a new technology was developed in the last few years that recruited my body's own bone stem cells to build bone in the region, and now I have a dental implant and healthy bone to stick it to. How cool is that? 10 years ago it was just a dream.

"The lung cell will always be a lung cell and will never be a red blood cell." Don't crush their dreams, they have feelings

My life continues largely due to the vast generosity of blood stem-cell donors and birthmothers, and every single day without exception I awake and have deep gratitude to them. On May 17, 2017 during a visit to a local emergency room due to passing a kidney stone, a standard CT scan discovered what was swiftly diagnosed as Stage IV Very Aggressive Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma / Diffuse Large B Cell. This means the cells that normally kill cancer, B- cells, became the cancer cells. Almost all my treatment journey was experimental in one way or another. I endured 5 cycles of a very strong chemotherapy in FDA trials, thought cancer was in remission only for the exact same cancer to come back with fury to kill me. We tried multiple desperate chemo protocols, each one more viscous that the previous protocol and none of them worked. Ultimately a radiation oncologist (cancer doctor who uses radiation instead of poison) wiped out the cancer in 25 days. A bevy of specialists agreed my only hope was to kill all my blood and marrow, bring me to the very brink of death, and then do a blood transplant of stem-cells. Mine came from two infant birth cords donated after delivery by the birth mother. Two, because the volume was very, very small - one was 51 ml, the other 49 ml. Then over the following five weeks the cells woke up, fought a three way ware to see which genetic set would dominate, and the winner engrafted in my bone marrow, forever more giving me new blood including that which feeds my immune system. Including, for example, new healthy B-cells ready to go kill cancer. That's the glorious part of the story. But, I also have gone through a year of graft vs host disease (my new blood and immune system trying to kill that alien... no wait, thats me!), and through the whole thing I believe based on research I am the all time global record holder for most corticosteroids given in three years. Prednisone has been part of every chemo routine, part of radiation, used after cancer surgeries and hell, everything else. So I've spent two years getting off steroids. While I had all those steroids I have developed type II diabetes, severe hypertension, chronic kidney disease, added 80 lbs I can't lose, terrible edema all over, skin diseases and last month the worst case of shingles my local hospital has ever encountered. So I believe in stem-cell transplants, but I also think there is a huge amount not communicated that I'd love to share with Life Noggin or anyone else interested in furthering research and patient education in this area. And be glad you are alive. Choose to be happy. Make this hour count.

We were just about to make this video! lifenOGGINNNNN *violently shakes fists into the air*

And I picked this for my research paper last week what great timing

I believe stem cells might be the first thing used to stop, or reverse, aging. Imagine farming stem cells with a young, healthy version of your DNA. When you get older maybe somehow you could (possibly during a very slow and safe procedure) replace your old cells with new cells with a younger, healthier version of your own DNA. I don't know why this wouldn't work so though it sounds crazy I think this could work, do you?

This channel deserves more subscribers. Keep it up!

Maybe a video of the placebo effect :)

Wow, I finally did it. Under 301! Where's my cookie?

So if donating eggs is bad then having periods is bad also because its literally the same thing. So i guess every time someone has a period they are killing someone. With that logic every woman should go to jail :(.

Wait, why is there still controversy? During menstruation females lose unfertilized egg cells; a process which occurs throughout their lifetime, only ceasing when menopause sets in, or stops temporarily when fertilization of an egg is achieved. We would never consider that process to be murder. Why is the _voluntary_ use of female eggs as a means to attain embryonic stem cells thought of as such, where they'd otherwise go unused in the monthly reproductive cycle?

Just had a High school Biology flashback. I had a quiz on this stuff, it was matching and I studied for it. I got a 4 out of 100

I donated my hair to cancer... Twice, not very impressive 😕 but my hair used to go all the way down to my hip but not its down to my neck :) and I did I twice :) I'm still pretty happy that I helped someone xD

Ooo had a test recently and this was part of the topic. Biology module 1. 😏

I don't feel much if something dies. I feel bad for something dies if it experiences consiousness.

I got stem cell therapy in panama for my mild Asperger's syndrome last year in May. It was quite a shock to my system, so I became very lonely, clingy and emotional. Almost like a pregnant woman or a 2 yr old. But in the long run, It has made SUCH a difference in my life socially, academically... the list is endless! Right now, I'm coming into 11 months post stem cells, and my family and friends don't know yet because 1. I want them to naturally acknowledge a difference in myself. And 2. I don't want them to baby me, I want them to treat me like they normally would because part of the therapy is exercising the brain with engaging myself in everyday life. Stem cells have been so amazing for me because I'm starting to express myself more (when I don't even know it) and people are giving me the credit I've felt I've always deserved. I'm thinking of even going back in a few short years for a second dose because I want to be the best I can be in life! #STEMCELLSROCK

well, no one argues if eating an egg is destroying a life ( i think), so what are we doing arguing about that

I had a skull TBI. I got stem cells... it’s in my book due to be released

amazing vid, just cleared up everything i was confused about for my report

Hopefully Stem cell therapy will cure all kinds of illness and diseases. cancer diabetes heart disease brain disease dementia arthritis GOD bless stem cell research. 😇🙏🙏😆💜😇

Life Noggin: WHAT CAN *S T E M C E L L S* DO? Me: *NOW WE'RE TALKIN*

Man this vid is 8 years old and somehow it feels like nothing has come of this

My dad got ALS and he was supposed to get a stem cell injections but there's still an ongoing debate in italy...

These cells are quite special because they can divide and differentiate, creating new tissues, cells, and even an entire organ. Adult stem cells have been used in human treatments and therapies for many years.

My Biology teacher took 5 lessons to "teach" this. Life Noggin taught this in 3 minutes. Legends!! PS. Anyone here who uses lifenoggin to help them actually learn their GCSE course?

this videos are amazing i really hope that one day you'll get tons of subscribers

My aunt had bone marrow cancer and the marrow had to be destroyed but then was replaced with stem cells

Yes my bone marrow transplant was done last year

India has advanced in Stem cells therapy. There are many Institute where people are given therapy for treating diseases like Alzheimer's, parkinson, autism, liver damage, etc. One such organization I know is advancells. It is located in noida and has helped my daughter treat for autism. Hats off to the latest technology.

My partner had 4 sets of stem cells removed for future use. He is using 1 set in a stem cell transplant next month and believe he wont need to keep the other 3 set of stem cell that are frozen in storage, hopefully they use them for other needed uses instead of destroying them

interesting... never knew where stem cells are created from but after watching this i now know why there is so many debates about the harvest and usages of stem cells.

You guys should do a video on why do onions make you cry

There's a method in which you use induced pluripotent stem cell(IPSC). "IPSC are stem cells that has been created from an adult cell such as a skin, liver, stomach or other mature cell through the introduction of genes that reprogram the cell and transform it into a cell that has all the characteristics of an embryonic stem cell. The term pluripotent connotes the ability of a cell to give rise to multiple cell types, including all three embryonic lineages forming the body’s organs, nervous system, skin, muscle and skeleton." Bascially we don't need stem cells from embryo's anymore in order to research without worrying about whether it's a life or not - sorry for being a nerd :P

We watched this in my science class. Great vid!

I got SVF stem cells that were harvested from my own body. I got them for a chronic illness, and I'm so glad I did!

My friend had a stem cell donation from her brother because she had leukemia. I wonder then if that leads to her growing more red blood cells than WBCs then?

THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!

i have never had my bone marrow/blood cell/stem cells donated to other folks lmao

could inguinal hernia be treated by stem cells?

I have an aunt who needed a kidney and my brave cousin decided he would give up one of his for her. I idol him for that, it is such a brave thing to do.

When and how can we take part in a clinical trial for stem cells therapy ? Please answer this.

Genetic technology is the next big technology! It's so trending that on a Lays pack I saw they were partially made with Genetic Engineering, I EVEN LEARNED ABOUT IT IN SCIENCE! XD

Thanks for this video. I just did adipose-derived autologus mesenchymal stem cells.

I recently had stem cell treatment in Munich Germany. 1/10/2020. I had neck , lower back & knees done. It’s been 5 months and still getting better. 0 pain in my neck , 0 pain in lower back & no pain in my legs or feet. Still some issues in left knee. Embryonic stem cells are useless!! You can only get your own stem cells. If you get anyone else’s cells when they mature your body will reject them.

Why not cover iPS cell which are somatic cells that have been induced to become pluripotent?

Okay I have a question, it doesn't really have to do with this video but why do we stutter? Like when we say something wrong we tend to jumble the words, why? Is there something in our brain that just spasms because you said a word wrong?

I have an experience with stem cells, when I needed a heart transplant they did something along the line of this. But the stem cells grew me a tail.

My father has COPD and recently he has heard of some stem cell research being treated in that field. The problem is they do not accept insurance and treatment is $5k, PER. Will stem cells be affordable or the general public some day. My guess is not as long as the general publ;ic keeps fighjting it.

+Life Noggin in another of your videos you said that if a woman is pregnant and she has a damaged organ or tissue the body will use stem cells from the womb to assist in recovery of that organ or tissue. Does that mean if a woman has something like Alzheimer's or diabetes and they get pregnant, it can help them recover from that?

This was a very good video, I had heard about stem cells and the ethical complication that come with it. Thank you for explaining, however, more detail would have been awesome. I guess you had to keep the video short...

I understand the controversy. However haven’t we discovered that the stem cells from umbilical cords just as effective? I know our hospital asked if we’d like to donate it and caught us totally off guard. lol

I just want to thank you for a lollipop I got because I reminded my teacher that the thing he was talking about were called stem cells and I'm eating it right now!😁

Is stem cell helpful in slowing down PULMONARY fIBROSIS AND is blood draw from the arm have the right stem cell to do the job?thank you

Is there a difference between the quality/effectiveness of stem cells taken from an adult versus an embryo? Thanks for the great video!

This is really helpful!! THANK YOUUUU

Hi, do you know of any successful surgeon who has handled a patient with congenital heart failure involving stem cells?

Can this be a treatment for cerebellum ataxia in a two year?

Could you please give an updated version of the use of stem cells, using umbilical cord stem cells? Embryonic stem cells are no longer used!

am I the only one who saw the DNA spiral go both ways when I blinked?

What is the different between phyto life natural stem cell and stem cell

Nothing will stop the progress of science.

Would stem cells work to induce hypertrophy somehow if ones interests/goals were body building?

Question: so is it like people can use Other people's stem cells? isnt it supposed to be yours only because if its not urs your body will reject it or ur inmune system will attach these cells??????

:25 did the double helix just change the direction it was spinning?

Dang it but these videos are awesome

Closest thing I've had to an organ donation is my acl reconstruction from a cadaver tendon

Hey life noggin can u make a video om why do we have holidays on Sunday??? Plz reply

no have not but can u talk about the paranormal and if it exists

And we have gone so far as to be able to 3D Print Organs,Tissue,Veins and Blood. WOW Science

They should legalize stem cell research. I want to grow a Pizza Restaurant from stem cells.

Thanks for insperation (Spelliing?) i would use this for my ligament cause some how i ripped it now i can't walk until i heal but can stem cells repair faster or help it not get more injured?

I have hope!

I had stem cells treatment about a month ago but haven't felt any better 😣

Thanks for the video great help!

1:48 Is what Wolverine is today the, guy filled up with stem cells?

How can people think that donating an egg is killing a life I mean then does that mean that every time someone has a period they've killed a life?

Can you do a video on why animals only see black and white? Thanks!

stem cells could be the key to youth or everlife?

ColdFusion just now uploaded a video that covered how stem cells can be used to cure people from diseases like Parkinson's or Alzheimer's disease! And people who suffered from strokes were able to function back to normal again! Amazing!

these videos are amazing!!

Plz do a 2nd episode of nintendo like u teased at the end of the 1st one. :)

maybe a followup video regarding the apple stemcell

can stem cells help in renal failure

Wait, can you actually use stem cells to like, turn into a freaking cat. That would be the coolest military weapon ever. Turn an entire army into some rats or something.

Isn't it possible to extract stem cells from the placenta? If so, why wouldn't that be a more viable alternative to using fertilized eggs?

Having crohns and having my whole large intestine removed it would be cool to have a new one grown and put back in Some day

Really interesting ! Love it

a COLDFUSION vid of stem cells making stroke victims walk brought me here.

I'm not a scientist, I'm just someone who reads alot. I've read up on Stem Cells for a while now and the research does have some promise to it, but the promise of Stem Cells is that they may one day (given the right environment and the right gene therapy) be used to grow an organ that could be used to replace a failing organ, like a pancreas or liver. If Life Noggin is suggesting that it is possible to take Stem Cells from your body and inject them into a problem area (like a pancreas or retina) and that the Stem Cells will go to work like Borg Nanites automatically healing an ailment,,, then that is super suspicious. Stem cells simply do not work like that.

0:50 did I blink or the light turn off?!

Do a vid of the green house affect

Hi my question is what would be the worlds best science project?

Can You have a video of why is it gold in a smart phone

Can any body please clarify about double stem cell powder

My doctor is recommending I get stem cells in my back to repair a tear in a disc. Any thoughts? Please reply..

very learnable! :)

only things with consciousness should be classified as life cuz a cell dosent have any feelings of pain and emotion or at least what i think so

Can stem cells cure polycystic kidney disease? Please can you make a video on that too?

Please do an episode about autism or astma

We're just learning this in science. What coincidence
