Regenerative Medicine Options for Neuropathy Pain Management
Neuropathic pain is pain caused as part of a dysfunction in the nervous system, including the peripheral nerves, brain, and spinal cord. Often characterized by spontaneous pain occurring for no specific reason, neuropathic pain can range from mild to severe and is...
10 Most Common Autoimmune Diseases
Your body is generally very good at telling what’s a foreign invader, like a virus or bacteria, and what’s not — but sometimes, it gets it wrong. If you have an autoimmune disease, your immune system has begun to associate parts of your body, like your skin or...
Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Managing Spinal Cord Injuries
Nerve damage resulting from spinal cord injury (SCI) often leads to temporary or permanent loss of function and contributes to poor quality of life. Most common among males below 30 years of age, SCI recovery has been limited specifically as a result of the low growth...
How to Remove a Tense Shoulder Knot That Won’t Go Away
Your muscles contract and relax throughout the day. These natural muscle movements assist in musculoskeletal control, but what happens when there’s too much tension in your muscles? Extreme muscle contractions can lead to neck and shoulder pain, especially if you’re...
Utilizing Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Spinal Cord Injury Therapy
Spinal cord injuries (SCI) are the most serious complication associated with spinal injuries and often result in permanent damage to the nervous system. With nearly 300,000 people in the United States living with SCI, the inability to treat these injuries has a...
Is ED a Warning Sign of Heart Disease?
Lots of symptoms and signs can warn you that you may be at risk of suffering from heart disease, but did you know erectile dysfunction is one of them? Learn more about the connection between cardiovascular issues and erectile dysfunction — and what treatment options...
The Healing Benefits of Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Skin Inflammatory Conditions of Atopic Dermatitis and Psoriasis

Stopping Parkinson’s Disease: 7 Prevention Methods
Parkinson’s disease causes nervous system complications. If you know someone who has struggled with this disease, you know how debilitating it can be. Parkinson’s affects mood, memory, cognition, and movement. Fortunately, science is always advancing, and...
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...
