Humans cannot practically live without an immune system. The immune system helps us prevent and fight off infections and detect and destroy cancer cells. For some, however, experience conditions that affect the immune system. Autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, polymyositis, atopic dermatitis, and rheumatoid arthritis can make day to day activities challenging. Patients who…

Regenerative medicine seeks to restore the functionality of cells, tissues, organs, or genes. In particular, stem cell therapy is among the most promising forms of regenerative medicine. This is due to the fact that stem cells are not specialized cells and can, therefore, transform into any cell or tissue with which they come into contact,…
Knee issues are among the most common musculoskeletal injuries and can occur in individuals of all ages. The complex joint is made up of bone, cartilage, ligaments, and fluid, as well as muscles and tendons which allow for movement. When any of these structures becomes injured or diseased, discomfort and limited range of motion may…
Helping the Eye Repair Itself The clear surface at the front of the eye, called the cornea, plays a major role in healthy vision. To stay clear and smooth, it depends on special regenerative cells found around the outer edge of the cornea. When these cells become badly damaged, the eye can have trouble repairing…
Replacing What Parkinson’s Disease Takes Away Parkinson’s disease develops as dopamine-producing neurons in the brain are progressively lost. Because dopamine plays an important role in controlling movement, this loss can contribute to symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, and slowed movement. Medications can help replace or mimic dopamine activity, but researchers are also exploring an entirely…
Supporting the Immune System After Transplantation Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a complication that can occur after a donor stem cell transplant. It develops when donated immune cells begin attacking the recipient’s tissues, creating inflammation that may affect areas such as the skin, liver, and digestive system. When the condition does not respond adequately to corticosteroids,…
Exploring a Multi-Dose Regenerative Approach Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) continue to be studied for their ability to release biological signals that may help support tissue repair, blood vessel health, and a balanced inflammatory response. While many clinical studies have investigated a single MSC treatment, researchers are also interested in whether multiple doses could provide more…
A New Window for Stroke Recovery An ischemic stroke occurs when blood flow to part of the brain becomes blocked, potentially affecting movement, strength, speech, and independence. While treatments during the earliest stage of stroke have advanced, researchers are also looking for ways to better support recovery in the weeks and months that follow. A…
