アメリカで競走馬の足を治した成果から、
犬にやったら七割
成功したとニュースでやってました。
犬の自身の脂肪細胞から、幹細胞をとり、其の犬の治したい所にちゅにゅうすると関節軟骨が
再生されるのだそうです。
ひいては、後数年たてば、人間の関節炎に応用できるでしょうとのこと。
しかしいまは、意見を募っていますから、ご意見のある人はabc.new.com,へ
とのことでした。
私はBS2放送の abc nes.com.の 同時通訳の日本語で聞きました。
脂肪細胞というので、耳を傾けたらこんな記事でした。 しかし英文では
なかなか意味がわかりません。 もう少し詳しく分かる方は教えてください。
お願いします。 m（。。）m
それはさておき、 とにかくアメリカでの獣医界では、いま、できるのだそうですから、
今に、日本でも、 関節炎の治療を再生治療で、 できることが近いうちに
来るんです。 うれしいNeｗｓ です。
自分の細胞で自分を治す
ことができるかも・・・・はやくそうなってよぉ, 若い皆さんには
もうすぐそこに・・・じかんがあったら、辞書片手に読んでみいよう
写真は、昨日の散歩の帰りは、何とかこのナップザックにおしりから入れて
バスに乗れました。 ほっとした・・

Share Meet Hunter, a 9-year-old golden retriever. His big, friendly personality dominates life at home with Frank and Linda Riha in Burbank, Calif.
"This is like our child," Linda said. "I mean he is such an important part of our family."

Whether eating, sleeping or going on his daily walks, Hunter calls the shots.
According to Frank, "life revolves around Hunter." And everybody knows him.
"He's a celebrity on the street," said Linda.
But Hunter has a serious problem: severe arthritis in his left hip is so painful that he can't run or leap like a healthy dog.
"His leg, it's almost like it's lifeless and it'll drift back," Linda said, referring to Hunter's tendency to favor his right leg.
X-rays show that Hunter has hip dysplasia, a common ailment in purebred dogs that causes the ball of the leg bone to loosen from its socket, causing painful wearing on the joint.
"You can see that the edges of the bone are very worn away. They're not nearly as smooth," said veterinarian Jerry Bausman.
Facing the possibility of a shortened life for Hunter, the Rihas were considering a $10,000 hip replacement when the doctors offered something new, different and much less expensive. For only about $2,500, they could treat Hunter with his own stem cells, the healing and regenerative cells that live in both humans and animals.
"This is an excellent in-between that may mean he may never need a total hip," Bausman said.
Making Strides Without Red Tape
In the race to perfect "regenerative medicine," stem cell therapy for animals is ahead of treatment for humans because it is not so strictly regulated. It's not experimental -- it's here.
And while the debate rages over the ethics of embryonic stem cell research, doctors have made stunning progress with "adult" stem cells recovered from body fat.
They are less powerful than embryonic cells, but they don't require the destruction of an embryo. There are no side effects and no problems with rejection, because the patient is also the cell donor.
