Advantages of fat stem cells include their high concentration of mesenchymal stem cells, which seem to be able to block autoimmune attack, which is the major problem in multiple sclerosis.  Additionally, fat contains a type of \"primed\" T regulatory cells which are also known to block activity of T cells that are attacking the body, such as the myelin basic protein-reactive T cells that are the major problem in multiple sclerosis. <a href="http://www.cellmedicine.com/multiple-sclerosis-treatments.asp" TARGET="_blank">Read More</a>]]></description>
