How Stem Cells May Help with Parkinson’s Disease
A recent review has outlined the potential of using stem cells to treat Parkinson’s Disease. Parkinson’s Disease patients have been limited by the realities of their treatment options. Generally, treatments act to relieve symptoms that occur with Parkinson’s Disease...
Mesenchymal Stem Cells Improve Function and Quality of Life in Heart Failure Patients
A recent study, published in Circulation Research, has shown how umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells may help patients who suffer from heart failure. The researchers observed patients with heart failure that was chronic and stable and that presented with reduced...
Researchers Define How to Transplant Stem Cells Derived from Adipose Tissue to Help Patients with Degenerative Joint Disease
Degenerative joint diseases like Osteoarthritis are difficult to effectively treat, as total joint arthroplasties are often associated with poor outcomes. Following these surgeries, many patients need additional interventions. As such, clinicians and researchers have...
Advantages of Wharton’s Jelly-Derived Stem Cells
With the growing realization that stem cells can help countless patients suffering from various diseases and injuries has come more research into how stem cells can best be used for these purposes. The questions not only involve which patients can benefit and how, but...
Mesenchymal Stem Cells May Help Patients With Different Types of Heart Failure
Heart failure is currently treated using pharmacologic interventions that help to control the symptoms of heart failure and slow the process of deterioration. However, these drugs do not stop problematic processes occurring at the cellular level, and so patients using...
Why Stem Cells from Fat Tissue Helps Regenerate Damaged Tissue
A popular type of stem cell in the research and clinical communities is what is known as the adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cell, which are stem cells that come from fat tissue. A review published last year in Stem Cells International has provided a...
Why Mesenchymal Stem Cells Have Regenerative Potential
Mesenchymal stem cells have proved to be one of the most promising stem cell types for regenerative medicine. A recent review has compiled information from studies looking specifically at how these stem cells can be used for regenerative cell therapies. According to...
Mesenchymal Stem Cells Show Promise for Stroke Recovery
Only a fraction of patients who suffer from ischemic stroke benefit from the currently available therapies. Given the promise of stem cells in therapies developed for brain injury, much research has recently focused on how these cells may be used to treat stroke...
4 Nuts That Can Help Reduce Your Risk of Heart Disease
Various studies have shown heart-related benefits of nuts. Including at least 20-30 grams of nuts daily decreases the risk of heart disease by almost 30%. Everyday Health provides a few nuts that are beneficial in reducing the risk of heart disease and helping to...
10 Health Tips for Healthy Heart Management
February is officially known as Heart Health Month. Heart disease is the cause of one out of three deaths and the number one killer globally, but it can be preventable by making a few changes in both exercise, diet, and regular checkups. Everyday Health has a few tips...
Research Helps Clarify Specific Advantages of Different Stem Cell Types in Bone Regeneration
There is currently no highly effective treatment option for bone regeneration, so finding a way to regenerate bone has become a major focus in the field of tissue engineering. A recent study aimed to determine which of three different types of mesenchymal stem cells...
Wharton’s Jelly Mesenchymal Stem Cells May Provide a Unique Treatment Option for Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (COPD)
A recent review published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences covers evidence demonstrating that Wharton’s jelly mesenchymal stem cells show promise for treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). After analyzing the literature on how stem...
