Cornea Blindness can be Treated with Stem Cells from Wisdom Teeth

Cornea Blindness can be Treated with Stem Cells from Wisdom Teeth

A new research has revealed that stem cells from wisdom teeth may help treat cornea blindness. Most of the blindness across the world occurs due to disease in cornea.

The researchers said "Stem cells from the dental pulp of wisdom teeth can be coaxed to turn into cells of the eye's cornea and could one day be used to treat corneal blindness."

The study shows the stem cells of the dental pulp obtained from the routine human wisdom tooth are capable of being turned into Keratocytes, the corneal stromal cells.

The team injected engineered Keratocytes in the corneas of healthy mice and the keratocytes integrated without any signs of rejections. Also, they used cells for developing constructs of corneal stroma similar to natural tissues.

James Funderburgh, senior investigator and professor of ophthalmology at University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine said. "Corneal blindness, which affects millions of people worldwide, is typically treated with transplants of donor corneas."

He added "Shortages of donor's cornea and rejection of donor's tissue do occur, which might result in permanent blindness. Our work is promising because using the patient's own cells for treatment could help us avoid these problems."

The study was reported in journal Stem Cells Translational Medicine.

Shouting Loudly Makes Your Own Brain 'deaf'

You may be speaking loudly but your brain remains quiet. A study has revealed that the part of the brain which is identified as command centre for human speech does not function when we speak loudly.

The Broca's area of brain has been recognized for more than 150 years as the command centre for human speech. But the scientists at the University of California Berkeley and Johns Hopkins University in Maryland are challenging this long-held assumption. Their study has come with new evidence that Broca's area actually switches off when we talk out loud.

"Broca's area shuts down during the actual delivery of speech, but it may remain active during conversation as part of planning future words and full sentences," said study lead author Adeen Flinker. 

According to Flinker, "This finding helps us move towards a view that Broca's area is not a centre for speech production but rather a critical area for integrating and coordinating information across other brain regions.”

The discovery can be of great help in diagnoses and treatments of stroke, epilepsy, and brain injuries that result in language impairments in suffering patients.

The study was reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Are you prone to cold?
If you get into the trap of cold very easily, your immune system is not operating at top speed. You need an immune boost up. The average adult picks up one to three colds each season that typically last 3 or 4 days. If cold continues more than 4-5 days, you need to concentrate on immune boosting foods.

Body needs plenty of water to flush out toxins. So, we should drink ample fluid to meet the need. How much fluid one should drink varies from person to person. But a healthy individual can take 2 – 2.5 L as an average limit. Drink right amount of fluid and stay away from diseases.

Cleanliness of water is very important. Higher percentage of arsenic in water is unsafe for health.  Arsenic affects the immune response to swine flu as well. Those drinking arsenic-tainted water developed suppressed immune systems. Go for hygienic drinking water. Don’t rely on roadside water vendor. Opt for bottled water when you are outside.

Two types of liquid eye liners are available in market: felt tip (pen liner/ bottled liner) and dip brush (bristle brush)

I am learning with dip brush eyeliner.

1.    Get in the right position so that you can have steady hand while applying liner. You can rest your elbow on a table to avoid wavy or uneven line.
2.    Try to hold a small mirror in other hand. It will help you get a good view of eyelid while application.
3.    Draw dots or dashes on the lid as close as possible to the eye lashed. Don’t try to make one fine line in initial day else you will end up with wavy or uneven application.
4.    Try connecting the dots/dashes smoothly.
6.    Create a small tail at the outer edge to give great shape. You 
     can style the tail in a way you want.

5.    Keep the eye closed while applying liner. Get the view with the other eye. 
8.    Don't dream to learn in a day or two. Keep trying 7-10 days continuously to learn the basics. 

9.    After you learn the basics you can move on to advanced stage of styling.
