Dear Sir. I have four children 3 Girls and 1 Boy their age 20 and 19 and 12 and 4 years old they been diagnosed with Lamellar Ichthyosis . My question is there any cure for such skin disorder as I read an artical about Stem Cell The ropy Thank you and I look forward to your reply
thanks for asking, stem cell therapy still under research. Dr. Dennis Roop, a dermatologist at the University of Colorado - started reserch, the outer layer of the skin, the epidermis, is renewed by adult epidermal stem cells. Dr. Roop’s and Dr. Chen’s research involves taking a biopsy from the skin of a patient with epidermolytic ichthyosis, growing those skin cells in the lab, and then reprogramming the lab-grown cells into induced pluripotent stem cells, or “iPS cells”. Looks like some promising news indeed - will take time to come in market regards
