Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation to affect many different body systems including the joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, brain, heart, and lungs. Affecting over 5 million people worldwide, and associated with a wide...
Advancements in COPD Treatment Options
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a condition that affects about 12.5 million people in the United States. COPD can become progressively worse over time and affect your breathing. Although lifestyle changes, oxygen therapy, and medications have...
Regenerative Medicine Using Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Biomedical applications of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the field of regenerative medicine continue to evolve. Coupled with the rapid development of molecular biology and transplantation techniques, MSC applications have become a central focus of research...
Understanding Multiple Sclerosis and its Prognosis
Almost one million people in the United States live with multiple sclerosis (MS). MS is a chronic neurological condition affecting the nerve fibers in the central nervous system. Receiving a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis is difficult, and it can be even...
Pentosan Polysulfate Sodium and its Effect for Improving Dyslipidemia and Osteoarthritis Knee Pain
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive joint disease that occurs as a result of the cartilage that cushions the bones wearing down over time. Currently, it is estimated that over 500 million people worldwide are affected by OA. Clinical OA studies have shown...
Treatments for Newly Diagnosed Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s disease is a complex neurological disorder. It can affect many aspects of your life and wear down your mental health. Fortunately, there are now modern treatment options that help you manage your Parkinson’s symptoms. If you’ve just received a...
Review of the Delivery Route for Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Through Skeletal Muscle
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have repeatedly demonstrated the capacity to limit injury and promote regeneration through signaling and secretion of trophic factors. Considering this, MSCs have been increasingly used as a treatment for a wide variety of injuries and...
How Long Does It Take to Recover from a Stroke?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that more than 795,000 people in the United States suffer a stroke every year. A stroke happens when something blocks the supply of blood to a part of the brain or when a blood vessel in the brain bursts. If...
Umbilical Cord Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Managing Symptoms of Ankylosing Spondylitis
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic and progressive inflammatory disease that primarily affects the sacroiliac joints and the spine; in rare cases, AS can also cause issues for the peripheral joints and extra-articular organs, including the skin, eyes, and...
What Foods Trigger Osteoarthritis?
Arthritis can take away some of your favorite activities and make daily living very uncomfortable or even painful. When it comes to managing this condition, there are certain triggers that you should be aware of. Find out what parts of your diet might be...
Wharton’s Jelly Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Their Immunomodulatory Potential
Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) continue to be viewed as a source of cell therapy applications due to their immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects and because of their ability to stimulate angiogenesis. In MSCs, these benefits are mainly attributed to...
Stroke Recovery Tips to Improve Faster
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that as many as 795,000 people in the United States suffer a stroke each year. A stroke is a serious condition that can range in severity but that requires some patience throughout the recovery process. Learn more...
