Reduction of Arterial Plaque with Stem Cell / Nano Particle Protocol



This also is a big surprise and shows us were we are going with gold nanoparticle therapy.  We already have shown that 20nm particles penetrate cancer cells.  Now it seems that we can lodge them in arterial plaque and burn them out.  Stem cells then repair the damage.

We are heading toward a whole body gold infusion followed by a radio wave irradiation that selectively reduces unhealthy structures.  Perhaps we can eliminate unnecessary fat cells while we are at it.

Both applications should be in therapeutic use quickly because the agent itself is well understood.  We merely need to get it to go where we need it.

Plaques may even be accessible with catheters if deemed necessary. 

This is still the first convincing method available for reversing the disease that could do it all.

A 56.8% reduction in arterial plaque and healing of the arteries would reverse the course of Atherosclerosis by 10-20 years. The treatment could be repeated to stave off Atherosclerosis indefinitely.

Atherosclerosis (also known as arteriosclerotic vascular disease or ASVD) is a condition in which an artery wall thickens as the result of a build-up of fatty materials such as cholesterol.Cardiovascular diseases are the world’s largest killers, claiming 17.1 million lives a year. Total world deaths are 55 million per year. So about 30% of all deaths are from cardiovascular disease. 

A study from the American Heart Association's Basic Cardiovascular Sciences 2010 Scientific Sessions - Technological and Conceptual Advances in Cardiovascular Disease reports that a new technique that combines nanotechnology with adult stem cells appears to destroy atherosclerotic plaque and rejuvenate the arteries. Nanoburning in combination with stem cell treatment promises demolition of plaque and functional restoration of the vessel wall. Nanoparticles (microscopic particles with at least one dimension less than 80 nm) were infused into the heart of pigs along with adult stem cells. After the nanoparticles were heated by laser light, they burned away arterial plaque

The greatest reductions in plaque volume occurred in the treatment groups that received stem cells in addition to the nanoparticles. Also, both groups that received stem cells showed signs of new blood vessel growth (neovascularization) and restoration of artery function

A treatment group of 19 pigs received silica-gold nanoshells, while 18 animals in a control group received saline solution. The treatment group was subdivided into three subsets that received nanoparticles in one of three ways: 


* intracellularly along with adult stem cells infused into the heart; 


* via an infusion of gas-filled, protein-coated microbubbles that contained no stem cells; or 

* delivered through a bioengineered patch that also contained adult stem cells and was attached to the artery itself through minimally invasive surgery

The researchers found that plaque volume shrunk considerably in the nanoparticle groups immediately after the procedure (an average of 28.9 percent across the three groups) and six months later plaque volume had declined 56.8 percent on average. In the control group that received only saline, plaque volume increased an average of 4.3 percent

I agree

what is unique here is that this is a cell sized surgical method that hits the problem. This is the first real cure for cancer and Artery disease that goes directly to the problem and chops it out cell by cell. It promises a true medical revolution.
