Researchers and physicians are increasingly acknowledging the positive role stem cell therapy plays in managing a host of complicated ailments that were once very difficult to handle. <\/p>\n
Among such health conditions is autism, the neuro-developmental disorder that impacts the brain of children and severely hinders development of communication and social interaction skills. <\/p>\n

There is a positive impact of stem cell therapy and conventional rehabilitation for autistic children. Over a period of time, hyperactivity among children is reduced, they are calmer and their eye contact has improved. Attention span and the ability to sit at one place have improved. This allows rehabilitation specialists to work more efficiently with children, claims Nandini Gokulchandran of Neurogen Brain and Spine Institute, Mumbai. <\/p>\n
For the past four years, the researcher has been working with 250 children from across the world on stem-cell therapy and autism. <\/p>\n
In fact, results from a study of stem cells impact on 32 autistic children by researchers led by Alok Sharma and Dr. Gokulchandran were published in the journal Stem Cells International . <\/p>\n

Dr. Gokulchandran, who was in the city recently to deliver a talk on autism organised by Durgabai Deshmukh Vocational Training and Rehabilitation Centre, says that through stem cells, vital organs inside the brain are targeted for rejuvenation. <\/p>\n
It is widely known that inside the brain, three vital parts cerebellum, hippocampus and amygdala function lesser among autistic children. Other parts in the brain are hyperactive, creating an imbalance. <\/p>\n
