5 Foods That Spike Blood Sugar Levels
For people with diabetes or pre-diabetes, making healthy dietary choices is an important aspect of disease management. In particular, patients should avoid foods that are known to spike blood sugar to keep their levels within a healthy range. Even for individuals who...
Stem Cell Exosomes Speed Up Muscle Regeneration
Muscle health and strength is an important determinant of a person’s ability to function in daily life. One of the major determinants of healthy aging is how well people retain their muscle mass. The more that skeletal muscle declines, the more likely someone would...
Stem Cells Isolated from Stroke Patients Could Be Used in Stroke Treatment
Patients who suffer ischemic stroke have some treatment options, but many of them require immediate intervention and so are not useful if too much time has elapsed between the stroke and treatment. Therapies that employ stem cells are promising alternatives because...
5 Foods Multiple Sclerosis Patients Should Discuss With Their Doctors
The complex interplay between nutrition and health is still being researched by experts. In many cases, there are already established links between certain foods and undesirable health outcomes. For example, recent dietary guidelines recommend limiting added sugars to...
3 Lifestyle Factors That Can Impede Gut Health
The importance of gut health has been gaining more and more attention in recent years. The GI tract has been called “the microbiome,” “the body’s second brain,” and will likely receive countless other nicknames. No matter what you choose to call it, maintaining your...
Stem Cells Reverse Paralysis Caused by Spinal Cord Injury
Spinal cord injury can be one of the most devastating injuries. Long neurons that extend from the brain down the spinal cord are severed and scarred. In most cases, this damage can never be repaired. If patients survive an injury to the spinal cord, they can be...
What is “Leaky Brain” Syndrome?
You may have heard about leaky gut syndrome – a condition characterized by intestinal permeability, which could be linked to autoimmune disease – but now, a new phenomenon is emerging: leaky brain syndrome. Researchers suspect this condition could be responsible for...
Using Mesenchymal Stem Cells to Treat Cartilage Defects
Most large joints of the body contain cartilage, a substance that is softer and more flexible than bone. Because of its softness and flexibility, cartilage is well-suited to protect the bones as they move across one another. Unfortunately, this softness and...
Stem Cell Secretomes for Brain Repair
A number of different stem cell types have been shown to exert significant therapeutic effects when transplanted into the central nervous system. These cells include non-hematopoietic stem cells such as mesenchymal stem cells and neural/progenitor stem cells...
5 Simple Ways to Strengthen Your Immune System
Cold and flu season is here, and if you’re like most people, you’ll do everything in your power to avoid getting sick. While you already know to avoid coming contact with sick people if possible and to wash your hands frequently, you can also do your body a favor by...
3 Invisible Symptoms of MS Coping Options
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic condition in which the body’s immune system directs itself against the central nervous system (CNS). Most often, this impacts the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. The symptoms of this condition can vary widely, with some...
How Altering pH Can Improve Stem Cell Applications for Skin Conditions
Researchers have observed that the pH inside of certain stem cells affects their ability to proliferate and differentiate. These cells include mesenchymal stem cells and pluripotent stem cells, all of which have important applications in regenerative medicine. It is...
