Exosomes Taken from Stem Cells Help Protect Heart Cells in Heart Attack-Like Conditions
A heart attack is a life-threatening event in which blood flow through a coronary artery—and blood flow to the heart muscle itself—stops. If that blood flow is not quickly restored, heart muscle dies. A heart attack can be deadly if the heart is too badly damaged. If...
The Role of Exercise in MS Management
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the central nervous system. The disorder produces a broad range of symptoms, including fatigue and poor muscle coordination, which can make exercise daunting. Yet, research shows that in addition to...
Umbilical Cord Blood Stem Cell Treatment for Psoriatic Arthritis
Psoriatic arthritis is a chronic inflammatory condition that can become profoundly disabling. As a form of arthritis, the condition causes swollen, painful joints. The number and types of joints affected can vary over time, but most patients have polyarthritis i.e....
Using Stem Cells to Treat Erectile Dysfunction: State-Of-The-Science
Men with erectile dysfunction cannot achieve or maintain an erection suitable for sexual intercourse. Erectile dysfunction can be devastating for the men who suffer from it, putting a strain on intimate relationships, and causing significant emotional suffering....
Migraines & MS: What’s the Connection?
While migraines have left the medical community puzzled for many years, experts are establishing links among certain conditions which may leave individuals predisposed to them. In specific, recent studies indicated that patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) are at...
Spinal Cord Neural Stem Cells for ALS: Results from Two Clinical Trials
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) causes muscle weakness that gets worse over time. This muscle weakness can be so disabling that patients may require devices to support movement and breathing. There are few drug treatments for ALS, if any, that make a meaningful...
Umbilical Cord as a Source for Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Mesenchymal stem cells are believed by many to be the most effective type of stem cell for regenerative medicine. Mesenchymal stem cells are intriguing because they can regenerate damaged tissues in four major ways: Paracrine effects - Mesenchymal stem cells release...
Heat Safety Awareness: How Warm Weather Affects Certain Chronic Conditions
Extreme temperatures can be uncomfortable for everyone, but for certain populations, summer weather is especially harsh – and in some cases, even dangerous. In particular, people with certain chronic illnesses may be at risk for heat-related complications. As you...
Mesenchymal Stem Cells Help Patients with Severe Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Systemic lupus erythematosus, also known as SLE or lupus, is a chronic inflammatory condition that can affect almost every organ in the body. Commonly, patients with lupus suffer from fatigue, fever, muscle pains, and fluctuations in weight. Perhaps the most...
The Importance of Health and Fitness at All Ages

Could Gut Bacteria Influence Mental Health?
Within recent years, there has been increasing evidence to suggest gut bacteria plays a powerful role in many aspects of health. The microbiome, or microbial communities within our intestinal tract, have been a suspected agent behind many chronic conditions. Now, one...
Allogeneic Stem Cell Therapy for Lupus Nephritis Patients
Systemic lupus erythematosus or simply “lupus” is a chronic inflammatory disease that can affect almost every organ and tissue in the body. Most people are aware of chronic fatigue, muscle and joint pain, and a characteristic facial skin rash that occurs in people...
