PITTSBURGH, -- Researchers in the United States and Canada
find that stress incontinence can be relieved with an
injection of stem cells from the subject's own muscle. The
procedure has been carried out on seven women, with five
reporting significant improvement, the Pittsburgh Post-
Gazette reported. The results were reported at the annual
meeting of the American Urological Association. Women in
Ontario went through biopsies, with a small sample of
tissue being removed from their thigh muscles. Cook MyoSite
Inc., a Pittsburgh company that funded the study, isolated
the stem cells and cultured them, sending about 20 million
cells from each subject back to Toronto. Sharon Tomlinson,
who was involved in the study, said that she no longer has
to carry clothes to change into with her. She told the
newspaper that she started noticing a difference within
three months.
