Health News Fact Checked Stem Cell Treatment to Repair Torn Meniscus Very Very Close Every year about 1 million people have surgery to repair a tear in the meniscus of their knee according to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons Its an injury that cant be fully fixed since cartilage doesnt repair itself very well Even patients who have surgery often go on to develop arthritis Some eventually need a knee replacement The clear need for a new approach has led scientists to try using stem cells to regrow the torn cartilage A new method described in a paper in Science Translational Medicine suggests doctors may be very close to offering patients the chance to regrow their own meniscus The researchers used the same biodegradable plastic found in surgical sutures to 3Dprint a model meniscus They loaded the replica with proteins that work something like a magnet for stem cells drawing them to it from bone marrow Researchers also loaded the model with growth factors These helped spur the stem cells to develop into the specialized collagens and fibers that make up cartilage When they attached the devices to the uninjured part of the meniscus in seven sheep the stem cells grew a new healthy patch of tissue Sheep have knee joints that are very similar to human knees Twelve weeks after surgery the sheep were back to romping around with full mobility The plastic had completely dissolved Try These Exercises Before You Get Knee Replacement Surgery Teaching the Body to Heal Itself The biodegradable plastic device has builtin chemical cues that let doctors control where and when the growth factors go This gives the knee a blueprint of how to rebuild itself We can control the location and also timing of the growth factor and recruit the bodys own stem cells and they turn into different types of tissue said author Chang H Lee an assistant professor of craniofacial engineering at Columbia University Why do they need a plastic scaffold in the first place If doctors try to simply inject stem cells into the joint they may get carried away in the bloodstream before they can make needed repairs Honing or drawing the bodys own stem cells toward a medical patch as researchers did in this study is just one way of making sure the cells stay put You cant just inject them into the joint because theyre going to migrate away and stop being meniscus said senior author Jeremy Mao Mao is codirector of the Center for Craniofacial Regeneration at Columbia University Treatment Is Nearing Use in Humans Stem cells are very very close to being used to repair damaged knees in humans according to Dr Benjamin Ma a professor of orthopedic surgery at the University of California San Francisco Ma was not involved in the study Learn More About Stem Cell Medicine But it will be a long time before knee replacement surgery goes to the way of the dodo said Ma Without healthy cartilage to pad the bones that meet in the knee joint the bones become battered and misshapen Theres nothing a new meniscus can do about that Stem cells cant reverse the process right now Ma said You cant reverse the damage that was done People with new injuries will be the first to have the change to regrow damaged cartilage That could happen within a few years according to Ma But first the Columbia researchers have to prove the technique works using a larger test group of sheep More Stem Cell News Repairing the Cornea In another stem cell study in the same issue of Science Translational Medicine researchers suggest that with a minor surgical procedure doctors may be able to use stem cells from the eye to replace an injured cornea Corneal injuries cause scarring that damages vision Doctors treat the problem with corneal transplants but there arent enough donor corneas to go around The transplant surgery is also invasive The researchers found that they could grab stem cells from elsewhere in the eye and grow them in the patients own serum in the lab They could then put them onto the injured cornea The cornea healed itself with healthy tissue instead of scar tissue Since this approach uses the patients own cells grown in their own serum and involves only minor surface manipulations of the cornea we believe it will provide an alternative to corneal transplantation that is less invasive with a lowered risk of complications and rejection said senior author James Funderburgh a professor of ophthalmology at Columbia University Know What to Do If You Have a Serious Eye Injury This study was done using mice but researchers in India are already conducting a trial to test for safety in humans

Castile Soap A Miracle Product for Both Cleaning and Beauty Uses What to avoid Takeaway What is castile soap Castile soap is an amazingly versatile vegetablebased soap thats made free of animal fats and synthetic ingredients This natural nontoxic biodegradable soap is available in bar or liquid form Castile soap was made in the Mediterranean area before its use spread to Europe Traditionally castile soap was made of olive oil It gets its name from the Castile region of Spain These days the soap is also made with coconut castor or hemp oils Sometimes its made with avocado walnut and almond oils as well These oils give the soap its lathering moisturizing and cleansing properties Castile soap is an exciting product since its not only environmentally friendly but also incredibly useful and effective for certain purposes You can use it on your body to clean your house and even on pets You may find that a bottle or bar of castile soap conveniently replaces a plethora of other products in

However research from 2015 found that saline solution works better than castile soap in cleaning open fractures This research followed 2500 people for a year and found that people who used castile soap at the start of surgery were 32 percent more likely to require a second surgery compared to people who used saline 2 Deodorant Castile soap can be used to make a natural deodorant Add 12 teaspoon of castile soap and 1 teaspoon of sea salt to a small spray bottle and use in the underarm area as needed 3 Dish soap Add 1 part of castile soap to 10 parts of water to make a liquid dish soap 4

21 Pet wash Castile soap can even be used to wash your pets The exact amount of soap you use will vary depending on the amount of hair and the size of your animal Use a small amount of soap mixed with water to wash your pet Then rinse with clean water Essential oils can be toxic to animals so use an unscented soap Also note that castile soap is sometimes made with avocado oil While many parts of the avocado are toxic to animals as well the oil is generally considered safe Even so you may prefer to use a castile soap that is formulated without avocado oil 22 Plant spray for bugs Keep bugs off

dirt or grime 26 Makeup brush cleaner Remember to wash your makeup brushes every week if you can Simply fill a cup with warm water and a few drops of castile soap First rinse your brushes in water then place them in the cup for about 10 minutes Rinse the brushes again and allow them to air dry What to avoid when using castile soap There are a few things to avoid when using castile soap If you have hard water it will react with castile soap and leave behind a white film residue Install a water softener if its possible Combining vinegar with castile soap can also leave behind a white film This is because the alkaline nature of the soap reacts with the acid vinegar and they cancel out each other This changes the soap back to its original oils Castile soap shouldnt be combined with lemon juice for the same reasons it doesnt combine well with vinegar Dont use castile soap on colortreated hair as it may strip away some of the color The takeaway Castile soap is a multipurpose item that

Is Yeast Extract Bad for Me Yeast extract is a food flavoring made from the same yeast used to make bread and beer Its also added to some foods like soy sauce and cheese for a savory flavor The taste they create is sometimes referred to as umami Yeast extract is also found in canned soups and stews frozen dinners and salty snacks In Britain and Australia you can even find it used as a sandwich spread ever heard of Marmite or Vegemite But is yeast extract good for you Read on to find out How Is It Made Yeast extract is made by adding sugar to yeast in a warm environment As the yeast expands the walls of its cells soften This mixture is then spun in a centrifuge and the loosened cell walls are whisked away There are two kinds of yeast extract autolyzed and hydrolyzed In both the cell walls are discarded and the contents of the cell are combined In autolyzed yeast the enzymes found in the yeast itself are used to break down the proteins In hydrolyzed yeast these enzymes are added to the yeast Yeast extract can be found as a thick gel or in a moist powdered form How Do I Look for It on a Label Most manufacturers are upfront in their use of yeast extract listing it as just that on food labels Sometimes natural flavors or additives also can mean yeast extract is used Yeast extract contains glutamates which are forms of an amino acid that are found naturally in many foods Theyre sometimes extracted and used as additives to prepared food This product is commonly known as monosodium glutamate MSG Yeast extract contains naturally occurring glutamates but not as much as MSG The main difference between yeast extract and MSG in foods comes down to flavor MSG doesnt have a flavor Instead it acts as a flavor enhancer like salt Yeast extract adds flavor to foods like a spice The US Food and Drug Administration FDA requires products that contain MSG to state this on the label Foods that contain yeast extract dont need to specify that they contain MSG However they cant claim to contain No MSG Can It Be Bad for Me While yeast extract is very high in sodium manufactures dont add much of it to prepare foods even in sandwich spreads The small amounts that are added to food dont alter their sodium content significantly However you may want to avoid yeast extract if you have a problem with blood pressure or another reason to limit sodium Some people experience mild flushing of the skin and headaches when they eat glutamates or MSG However the medical community hasnt established that theres such a thing as an allergy to glutamates Since such small amounts of yeast extract are used it would be hard to eat enough to cause a reaction Learn more about the effects of MSG here Can It Be Good for Me Yeast extract is very high in B vitamins so its a cheap source of these vitamins This is good news for pregnant women or people with malabsorption conditions that cause them to need more B vitamins If you have a food allergy or sensitivity you certainly want to be careful about what you eat Yeast extract isnt bad for most people If you want to avoid added ingredients like yeast extract limit your consumption of prepared and packaged foods Try buying more fresh foods and preparing them yourself
