Exosomes from Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Reduce the Effects of Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injury is a single name given to a broad variety of conditions. In every instance of traumatic brain injury, some external force causes damage to the brain. This may be mild and short-lived, such as a concussion, or severe and permanent, such as severe...
Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Neurodegenerative Diseases
As the name suggests, neurodegenerative diseases are a disease of the nervous system in which nerve cells (i.e. neurons) become dysfunctional and die. As more nerve cells die, certain brain functions slow, change or stop. Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease,...
Stem Cell Treatment for ALS Headed to Phase 3 Trial
ALS, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a progressive neurologic condition. There is no current cure for this condition and the only treatments, riluzole and edaravone, are only modestly effective at slowing the disease. This lack...
New Study Focuses on MS Symptoms Through Stem Cell Transplantation
Multiple sclerosis (MS) poses distinct challenges for many individuals. Not only does it present an array of frustrating symptoms ranging from muscle weakness and numbness to vision and bladder problems, but in some patients, it may resist medications altogether. For...
What to Know About Glutathione Supplement & Its Benefits
Glutathione is an antioxidant produced in the cells consisting of amino acids. It plays an important role in supporting health and is found in all tissues, especially within the liver. Due to factors such as aging, stress, and exposure to environmental toxins,...
The Source of Exosomes Matters
Many clinical studies have shown the safety and benefit of exosomes. As a result, numerous companies have been bringing exosome products to market. However, not all exosomes are the same. The cell type from which the exosomes are collected makes an enormous difference...
Stem Cell Therapy for Autoimmune Diseases
The immune system is divided into two major entities, depending on the type of action it exerts; the innate immune system and the specific immune system. The innate immune system, which you can think of as the first responder to foreign pathogens that try to penetrate...
10 Tips for Relieving Chronic Pain
Chronic pain is a symptom of many conditions, including multiple sclerosis (MS), fibromyalgia, and arthritis, among others. It’s estimated that more than one-fifth of U.S. adults experience chronic pain, though that figure could be as high as 40%. Many forms of...
The Differences Between Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy and Stem Cell Therapy
Orthopedic injuries occur each day and from different causes. An injury can result from a fall or a trauma to a musculoskeletal part of the body (e.g., knees, hips, shoulders). Many times, age or overuse can create a more common occurrence for these types of...
Can Stem Cells Repair Traumatic Brain Injury?
Traumatic brain injury (TBI), also known as concussion, is a common condition that affects thousands of people every year in the United States alone. The most challenging aspect of TBI is its vague clinical presentation, which makes it difficult for physicians to...
Warning Signs of an Unhealthy Gut
The microbiome is located within the large intestine and is home to a vast array of bacteria, protozoa, fungi, and viruses. This complex system aids in digestion regulates the immune system and produces critical vitamins. Thus, when something goes wrong with the...
Thymosin Beta 4: A Natural Peptide With Many Regenerative Functions
While Thymosin Beta 4 (Thymosin β4) was isolated and characterized nearly 40 years ago, its potential benefits are still being revealed. Thymosin β4 is a peptide that plays a central role in repair, healing, and regeneration. While it was first isolated from the...
