Stem cell research into bipolar conditions

Stem cell research into bipolar conditions
The research that was done on the stem cell at University of the Michigan which showed new scope for unlocking the secret which was responsible for making  the bipolar disorder. This is the biological secret.

This can be done by the taking of the stem cell line the adult with the bipolar disorder. This will help the scientist to discover the new information from the donor of the cell.
Melvin Mc Innis who is the professor of the Bipolar Disorder and the Depression at UM Medical School was of the opinion that the newly undertaken research can result in mush more effective treatment .Mc Inniis is also the associate director of UM Depression Centre.
McInnis strongly believes that the in present condition the best possible treatment for the bipolar disorder is not highly effective. He estimated the effectiveness around 30% to 50% .
Though at present the discoveries and the treatment have actually been limited. One of the ,major reason behind this is the limitation to access the cells and the tissues of those suffering from the bipolar disorders. However in recent times it has found certain development because of Prechter’s research program
New stem cells line resulted from the fibroblast that is taken from the various samples of the skin of both from the victims suffering from this disorder and also from those who are not affected by the bipolar disorder. Once collected the scientists starts to manipulate the cells and starts developing it into the various types of the body cells.
Another renowned professor called Sue O’Shea of the Medical School informs that in total there has to be  around  thirty cells line  but till date it was possible to make only five.Mr.O’Shea is a doctorate in the field of bipolar disorder and therefore we can relate to the authenticity of his comment
In addition to the above statement he also says that the scientist will be viewing the difference as how neurons of a particular individual affected from the bipolar disorder will make the connection ,He is also curious about how they will be responding to the different kinds of medication and will also explore the numerous potential deficiency that will help in signaling the pathways
He said that the though according to the traditional belief it is often thought that the stem cells are actually used in the therapies for treating the disease. However this new venture will set a bug and unique example of the usefulness of the stem cells in the studying the mechanism of the disease The cells called the iPS renews by themselves and therefore they form the resource of  unlimited required material. This new process actually brought in new hopes for those individuals who are suffering from the bipolar disorder
The Bipolar disorder actually results from the imbalance  of the chemicals in their brain . As many as 6 million population is affected by this disorder alone is the United States of America .This disorder results in the erratic and also in drastic change in the moods ,behavior and thoughts of the victims .several  researches on this particular disorder hs motly focused  on the genetical factors. The reason is the bipolar disorder is mostly inherited through the hgenes and the tend to come from the family.
Mc Innis has predicted from his experience that nearly five to fifteen percent of the total patients of the bipolar disorders may attempt to do suicides in their lifetimes.
