Can Stem Cells Help Osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a condition in which the natural cushioning between joints breaks down eventually leading to bone-on-bone contact, pain, and loss of flexibility. OA affects roughly 30 million people in the U.S., many of whom are over the age of 60. As the U.S....
Exploring The Role of Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine In Treating Lung Disease
For patients facing a lung disease, including COPD, current and traditional therapeutic options may not be as effective in managing symptoms or slowing the progression of the condition so researchers have turned their attention to the potential benefits of stem cell...
What You Should Know About Stretching
Stretching is often touted as an important part of a well-rounded exercise program. Yet, there’s a lot of misinformation that circulates about the practice. For instance, you may have heard: You won’t benefit unless you hold a stretch for a while. You shouldn’t bounce...
Stem Cell Therapy for COPD
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) affects 250 million people each year and is the cause of nearly 5% of deaths globally. This family of airway obstruction conditions is characterized by the loss of lung tissue and airway obstruction caused by chronic...
15 Superfoods and the Health Reasons to Eat Them
Superfoods are healthy meals that boost energy and protect the body from destructive pathogens and diseases. They are very nutritious, and when you take them moderately, you immunize the body and ensure its healthy growth. However, though these foods are essential for...
How Can Stem Cells Help Multiple Sclerosis?
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system attacks the protective sheath covering nerve fibers, known as the myelin. As a result, communication issues between the brain and other parts of the body occur. While there are currently...
Cranberry Juice: Are There Health Benefits?
Cranberry juice isn’t the most common beverage choice, but many people enjoy it due to its health benefits. The U.S. is the world’s leading cranberry producer, with Wisconsin having produced more than four and a half million barrels of the tart fruit in 2019. The...
Is It Possible to Regrow Cartilage in the Joints?
In adulthood, cartilage has almost no regenerative potential. Cartilage damaged by disease, injury, or simply as part of the aging process can therefore not be replaced by the body on its own. As a result, bones may eventually rub against one another, resulting in...
Advancing Stem Cell Treatment for Traumatic Brain Injury
According to the CDC, in 2019, traumatic brain injury (TBI) contributed to nearly 61,000 deaths in the United States alone[1]. While there are several clinical treatments designed to address the neurological dysfunction after sustaining a TBI, including hyperbaric...
Seven Tips for Detoxing Each Day
Detoxing has gained plenty of attention in recent years. Based on the principle of reducing your exposure to toxins, this practice aims to promote general wellness, help optimize the immune system, and increase energy levels. There are many ways to detox, some of...
How is Stem Cell Therapy Helping ALS Patients?
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a rare disease in which the body’s neurons that control voluntary muscles begin to degenerate. Patients experience muscle weakening and involuntary spasticity, as well as symptoms such as...
Using Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Musculoskeletal Regeneration in Clinical Applications: Current Status and Perspectives
Research exploring the benefits of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has demonstrated tremendous potential as a regenerative therapy option for the musculoskeletal system. Research into these cell-based regenerative therapies is promising, and they must continue to...
