How to Prevent and Treat Multiple Sclerosis Flare-Ups
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients can experience exacerbations, also known as flare-ups, and they can vary for each person. Some can be intense while others are mild. Some bring on new symptoms while others may worsen old ones. A true flare-up lasts at least 24 hours...
A Case for Mesenchymal Stem Cell Use in Inflammatory Skin Disorders
There is no effective cure currently available for inflammatory skin disorders. Because of their ability to impact the immune system and thereby modify inflammatory processes, mesenchymal stem cells offer a promising foundation for developing a treatment for...
Foods to Avoid with Multiple Sclerosis
Maintaining a healthy and nutritious diet is important in managing the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). MS occurs when the body’s own immune system attacks the central nervous system. This can lead to potential symptoms such as numbness, fatigue, vision problems,...
Stem Cells Looking Promising for the Treatment of Psoriasis
A recent review in the International Journal of Molecular Science has outlined the role that stem cells play in psoriasis. The first clinical trials using stem cells to address psoriasis are currently underway. The idea to use stem cells to treat psoriasis came...
How Does Warm Weather Affect Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a chronic condition in which the immune system triggers an overproduction of skin cells. While it is a lifelong disease, its sufferers know to expect certain periods of flare-ups and other times when the condition’s symptoms are more manageable. Around...
5 Ways to Naturally Reduce Inflammation
Any time your body recognizes a foreign entity – whether it’s pollen, a chemical, a microbe, or something similar – it responds with inflammation. Persistent inflammation is a problem, because as Harvard Medical School explains, it is linked to serious diseases such...
Umbilical Cord Stem Cells Appear Safe and Effective for Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis is a neurodegenerative disease that occurs when the immune system attacks the material that insulates nerve cells. As the immune system breaks down these myelin sheaths that coat the nerves, it becomes progressively more difficult for cells of the...
Daily Tips for Living with Alzheimer’s
Whether you have been recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or you’re caring for someone with the condition, maintaining a high quality of life often means adjusting daily routines. While the precise types of adjustments needed will vary at different points in...
Stem Cell-Based Therapy Improves Diabetic Woman’s Diabetic Foot Ulcer
Diabetic foot ulcer, which, by 2030, is projected to occur in 25% of patients who suffer from diabetes, does not currently have an attractive treatment option. The therapies that are used today are expensive, require long-term stays in the hospital, and are often not...
Stem Cell Technology Does More Than Provide Therapeutic Options
A recent publication in Advanced Experimental Medicine and Biology has pointed to the ways that stem cell technology is not only helping us to develop promising therapeutics for a number of diseases, but it is also helping us advance our understanding of a number of...
More Data on the Potential for Stem Cells in Parkinson’s Disease
Recently, researchers transplanted stem cells into patients suffering from Parkinson’s Disease and observed promising results, particularly with respect to the safety of using stem cells in this group of patients. The specific type of stem cells used are called...
Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Are Useful for Plastic & Cosmetic Surgeries
Therapies using stem cells are becoming more and more popular over time, and research is helping to clarify how these types of therapies can help patients. A new review published this year in the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy has provided a comprehensive...
