Can PRP or Regenerative Therapy Help Fibromyalgia Symptoms Long-Term?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy uses growth factors from a patient's own blood to target inflammation and support tissue repair, which may help with fibromyalgia-related pain and fatigue. Research on long-term outcomes is still developing, and results vary by patient. At Stemedix, we design personalized regenerative medicine plans based on each patient's diagnosis, since fibromyalgia symptoms…
Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Neuroinflammation: Understanding the Role of the Secretome
A peer-reviewed review of research on mesenchymal stem cells, their secretome, and neuroinflammation in neurological disorders.
Can Regenerative Medicine Actually Repair Damaged Nerves?
Research suggests stem cell therapy may support nerve repair by calming inflammation, releasing growth factors, and encouraging Schwann cells to rebuild the protective myelin coating around damaged nerve fibers. Most of this evidence comes from lab and animal studies, with human research still developing. At Stemedix, we view stem cell treatment as one part of…
What Are the Non-Opioid Options for Managing Chronic Pain?
Non-opioid pain management includes physical therapy, interventional treatments, and regenerative medicine, all recommended by the CDC as first-line approaches for chronic pain relief. These options address pain through movement, nerve modulation, and tissue support instead of relying on opioid medication. Chronic pain now affects millions of adults nationwide, making non-opioid pain management an increasingly common…
Literature Review: Mesenchymal Stem Cell Paracrine Signaling in Neuroinflammation
A peer-reviewed review of research on mesenchymal stem cell paracrine signaling, exosomes, and neuroinflammation.
What Types of Neuropathic Pain Can Regenerative Medicine Address?
Stem cell therapy is being explored for several types of neuropathic pain, including diabetic peripheral neuropathy, chemotherapy-induced nerve damage, sciatica from nerve compression, and post-surgical nerve injury. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy alone affects nearly half of people with diabetes, making it one of the most common nerve pain conditions we see. At Stemedix, we build personalized…
Umbilical Cord-Derived MSCs and Immune Thrombocytopenia: Exploring a New Approach to Immune Balance
When the Immune System Targets Platelets Platelets may be tiny, but they play an essential role in helping the blood clot and preventing excessive bleeding. In people with immune thrombocytopenia, or ITP, the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys platelets faster than the body can replace them. When platelet levels become very low, patients may…
The Health Benefits of Taking Breaks During the Day
It’s pretty easy to think that being productive means staying busy all day. Many people push through work, errands, chores, and responsibilities without stopping to reset. But the body and mind are not designed to run nonstop. Taking short breaks during the day can support energy, focus, mood, posture, circulation, and overall wellness. A break…
Can Combining Umbilical Cord MSCs Make Regenerative Therapies More Consistent?
Not All Stem Cells Behave Exactly the Same When we talk about umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells, or UC-MSCs, it can be easy to think of them as one uniform type of cell. In reality, cells collected from different umbilical cords can behave differently in the laboratory. Some may grow faster, while others may be…
