Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center and Case Western Reserve University are collaborating on a clinical trial designed to treat the debilitating effects of multiple sclerosis by using a patient's own adult stem cells. <\/p>

Mesenchymal stem cells, or MSCs, are found in the bone marrow. More than 150 clinical trials are currently testing MSCs' ability to encourage tissue repair as a way to treat a variety of conditions such as osteoarthritis, diabetes, emphysema and stroke. <\/p>

In this trial, a patient's MSCs are harvested at Case's University Hospital, cultivated in a special laboratory and then injected intravenously back into the patient at the Cleveland Clinic.<\/p>

See the two videos below that describe the project - the first is from the Cleveland Clinic and shows one of the patients, the second is from Case and focuses on the researchers:<\/p>
