Filter by:Currently, There is no treatment for Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). Very small embryonic-like stem cells (VSELs) are found in the ovary. VSELs are able to regenerate the affected ovary. Stimulation was achieved by injection of mesenchymal stem cells that is supposed to secrete trophic factors. Numerous studies in mice have proved the efficacy of bone marrow transplantation (BMT) in resuming the ovarian function after chemotherapy-induced ovarian insufficiency. Allogeneic BMT raised the moral conflict about the origin of the newly developed oocytes. Several small studies examined the use of autologous BMT both in animal and in human. The results of these studies were promising. Intravenous injection is simpler and less invasive than ovarian injection as the later involves the use of laparoscopy. However, intravenous injection has not tested until now.
The ROSE-1 study is designed to determine the efficacy of bone marrow derived stem cell therapy on ovarian function recovery in subjects with idiopathic and other types of premature or primary ovarian failure (POF or POI) and low ovarian reserves.
Cellular therapies are rapidly progressing fields and have shown immense promise in the treatment of damaged ovarian function. The purpose of this study is to determine safety and efficacy of intra-ovarian injection of allogeneic HUC-MSCs with injectable collagen scaffold in women with Premature Ovarian Failure (POF) and to study the preliminary efficacy of HUC-MSCs with injectable collagen scaffold injection on ovarian function improvement.
The goal of this study is to determine safety and tolerability and of intra-ovarian injection of adipose derived stromal cell in women with premature ovarian failure and to study the preliminary efficacy ADSCs intra ovarian injection on ovarian function improvement.
Women of reproductive age who will receive treatment for cancer that includes chemotherapy may participate in a study measuring ovarian function over time. Eligible women are asked to complete a questionnaire, a menstrual diary, a brief physical examination, an ultrasound, and a blood test before, during and after cancer treatment.
The purpose of this work is to evaluate the therapeutic potential of Autologous Mesenchymal sc (MSC) therapy in women suffering from POF.
Out of 112 high risk patients for Premature Ovarian Failure (POF), diagnosis was established in 10 cases. ESS cut off point for menstruation and pregnancy was 6.
Stem cells (SC) are the foundation cells for every organ, tissue and cell in the body. They are undifferentiated "blank" cells that do not yet have a specific function. Under proper conditions, they begin to develop into specialized tissue and organs. They are self-sustaining and can replicate themselves for long periods of time. They have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body. They serves as a sort of repair system for the body, they can theoretically divide without limit to replenish other cells as long as the person is still alive. Premature ovarian failure (POF) is the loss of ovarian function in women less than 40 years. It is associated with sex steroid deficiency, amenorrhea, infertility and elevated serum gonadotropins. POF occurs in 1 % of women. In majority of cases the underlying cause is not identified. Management essentially involves hormone replacement and infertility treatment. This work aimed to evaluate the therapeutic potential of Autologous MSC transplantation in women suffering from Premature Ovarian Failure.
Premature ovarian failure (POF), also known as premature ovarian insufficiency, primary ovarian insufficiency (this is the most accurate term as some women may still conceive), premature menopause, hypergonadotropic hypogonadism is defined as failure of the ovary to function adequately in a woman younger than 40 years, in its role either as an endocrine organ or as a reproductive organ, a condition characterized by amenorrhea, hypoestrogenism, and elevated serum gonadotropin levels (which demonstrate that the ovaries are no longer responding to circulating FSH by producing estrogen and developing fertile eggs) in women younger than 40 years. This condition occurs in approximately 1% of women and it has important physical and psychological consequences/impact in those patients. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of the transplantation of bone marrow derived stem cells into ovarian tissue for treatment of premature ovarian failure and to assess their ability to differentiate into germ cells.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Adipose Derived Stem Cells are effective in the treatment of Premature Ovarian Failure (POF). Stem cell transplantation has been reported to rescue ovarian function in a pre-clinical mouse model of chemotherapy-induced POF; however, maintaining the survival of transplanted cells in human ovarian tissues to enable the POF patients regain ovary function over the long-term and achieving a successful pregnancy remain a troublesome issue. In this study the investigators are aiming to determine whether the CD29+/CD44+ human Adipose Derived Stem Cells could later enable ovaries produce mature oocytes.
