Phase 1 Clinical Trial Investigating the Use of Autologous Adipose Tissue-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells for the Treatment of Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury
With more than 17,000 people in the US sustaining a spinal cord injury (SCI) each year and an estimated combined cost to healthcare and the workforce exceeding $40 billion, the condition has significant personal and socioeconomic implications. In addition, SCIs have...
The Safety and Effectiveness of Stem Cell Treatment as an Emerging Approach for ALS
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by loss of upper and lower motor neurons resulting in paralysis, respiratory insufficiency, difficulties speaking and swallowing, stiffness and spasticity, and muscle atrophy....
Can COPD Be Reversed
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease affects 16 million adults in the United States, according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. COPD refers to two main conditions — chronic bronchitis and emphysema. If you’ve received a COPD diagnosis, it can be...
Peptides with Neurotrophic Properties: Promising Therapeutics for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Alzheimer’s Disease.
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are two of the more common neurodegenerative diseases, with nearly seven million people in the US living with the conditions in 2023. While AD is more prevalent than ALS, they are both characterized by...
The Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells-Derived Exosomes on Osteoarthritis Chondrocytes
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and is estimated to affect nearly 365 million people worldwide. Characterized as an inflammatory disease, OA slowly progresses over time and results in the gradual loss of the protective cartilage found on the...
Treatments for Osteoarthritis of the Knee
The National Library of Medicine states that 10% of people over 55 in the United States have disabling knee osteoarthritis. If you are one of these people, finding the right treatment can be challenging, especially if you don’t want to become dependent on pain...
Functions of Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Spinal Cord Injuries
Spinal cord injury is one of the most complicated and serious pathological impairments affecting the central nervous system. Since the human body is unable to regenerate and repair the spinal cord after injury, there is a high likelihood of suffering permanent damage...
Umbilical Cord-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) for Knee Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and occurs as a result of the protective cartilage, found on the ends of the bones, degenerates over time. While OA can occur in any joint, it is most commonly found to occur in the hands, hips, spine, and knee....
6 Surprising Risk Factors for Erectile Dysfunction
In the United States, about 30 million men have some form of erectile dysfunction, according to research conducted by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases. Erectile dysfunction can occur in men of any age, though it’s most common in...
Treating Psoriasis Using Stem Cell Therapy
Characterized by scaly white or erythematous plaques, psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune dermatological disease most often appearing on the scalp, genitalia, lumbosacral area, and extensor surfaces of the limbs. Affecting an estimated 125 million people worldwide, the...
Exploring the Potential of Stem Cell Therapy in Addressing the Challenges of Pancreatitis
Acute and chronic pancreatitis are associated with local and systemic inflammation that is linked to a host of serious health issues. A result of the digestive juices and enzymes attacking the pancreas, pancreatitis currently has no definite treatment. ...
All About Orthopedic Rehab
Orthopedic rehab is a type of rehabilitation designed to help people who have been injured, had surgery, or have degenerative conditions. Its goal is to aid patients in regaining mobility, balance, and function in their musculoskeletal system. Orthopedic rehab also...
