Wu Stem Cells Medical Center in the News
CNN, February 14, 2014
This is a special report on stem cell treatment from CNN Latin America.
Background: Many scientists and doctors realize the amazing treatment outcomes in treating those used-to-be untreatable diseases provided by advanced stem cell technology and therapy. Scientists and researchers in China who are dedicated to stem cell applications have made remarkable achievements in clinical areas which has drawn world attention.
This is about a girl, in the CNN special report, named Catalina Zamira, who accepted stem cell treatment at Wu Stem Cells Medical Center located in Beijing in June 2013. Before she came to them, she was treated by a stem ell clinic in Qingdao (China) without a satisfactory outcome.
Six year old Catalina suffered from severe retinopathy which causes retinal hemorrhage and detachment. She received laser surgery for therapy before she came here. After two months of the therapy, her eyes presented with strabismus and nystagmus because of visual stimulation.
With the unique stem cell technology conducted by Dr. Wu and his medical team, Catalina has made significant improvement during her four weeks treatment at Wu Stem Cells Medical Center. Her nystagmus is gone and she showed color distinguishing ability, of which she was not equipped with previously, and her vision showed amazing improvement. After Catalina was discharged from Wu Stem Cells Medical Center, they kept monitoring her condition and vision (as they do for all of their patients). In an email from Catalina's father Jorge Zamira, after they returned, he said "the medication is working really well, and she feels like a "normal" girl. Based on these effects, I am pleased and I am making sure that she enjoys every moment in her life." Catalina's case was widely reported by many Argentinian media outlets.
In February 2014, CNN was drafting a stem cell special report and Catalina's fantastic experience was revisted. Her father Jorge was invited to tell the audience the story of Catalina, who was treated at Wu Stem Cells Medical Center in China.
It is also worth noting that Jorge had mistakenly confused the stem cells they use. They use two kinds of stem cells: neural stem cells and mesenchymal cells derived from umbilical cords, and were injected into the body respectively via lumber puncture and IV. Those injected stem cells can be directed to lesion areas with their unique targeting technology.
