A Review of the Value of Wharton’s Jelly Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells
A recent publication in BioMed Research International has reviewed the study on the potential benefits of Wharton's jelly derived mesenchymal stem cells in treating a variety of diseases. According to the authors of the review, these stem cells can be collected during...
Phase I Clinical Trial Demonstrates Safety of Stem Cell Therapy for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
A recent publication in Stem Cells Translational Medicine described an open-label phase I clinical trial that was designed to assess the safety of a stem cell therapy for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The specific procedure involved two repeated injections of...
Researchers Suggest A Way to Test the Safety of Stem Cell Therapy in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy
A recent publication in the Journal of Translational Medicine has highlighted the potential for stem cells to help patients with progressive supranuclear palsy and has proposed measures for testing the safety of stem cell therapy. Like Parkinson's disease, progressive...
Stem Cells Improve Symptoms in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
A recent study that followed-up on the condition of patients with advanced pulmonary emphysema three years after they had begun a Phase I clinical trial in which they were treated with a type of stem cell called bone marrow mononuclear cells demonstrated improved...
Stem Cells Show Promise for Helping with Functional Recovery Following Stroke
Stem cells are increasingly used in therapies that involve tissue damage because they offer a promising way to replace lost cells and restore lost functions. Another advantage of stem cells over conventional therapies is the ability to use them days, weeks, or months...
Study Reveals Mechanism by Which Stem Cells Improve Symptoms in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
In response to the limitation of current treatments of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), researchers have posted that stem cells may be a good option for patients who suffer from COPD. One of the key characteristics of COPD is inflammation seen in the...
Hyperbaric Oxygen Shown to Mobilize Stem Cells
In recent years, research into how stem cells can be used to improve heart health has been growing. Stem cells appear to be particularly promising for helping to repair damage to the heart because stem cells can help to rebuild tissue that has been injured or...
Researchers Demonstrate Long-Term Safety of Stem Cell Transplantation in Lupus Patients
A recent study published in Clinical and Experimental Medicine provides new evidence that mesenchymal stem cell transplantation may be a safe treatment option for patients who suffer from systemic lupus erythematosus and who do not respond to conventional treatments...
Stem Cells Shown to Be Beneficial in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients
A recent study that was undergone to determine how effective – and how safe – a stem cell transplant for lupus patients found that the approach was both effective and safe. The results were published in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. The researchers...
Study Finds Tendon-Derived Stem Cells Superior to Other Stem Cells in Treating Achilles Tendon Ruptures
Recent research has found that stem cells may offer a promising new solution for treating Achilles tendon ruptures. Conventional treatment options for Achilles tendon ruptures have significant limitations. Some treatments work only to combat the symptoms related to...
Vitamins and Minerals for Potential Multiple Sclerosis Relief
Multiple Sclerosis is a disease in which the immune system of the body causes damage to the CNS, hence any supplement that is responsible for boosting the immune response should be avoided. In such a case, the dosing is a big factor when it comes to minerals and...
Stem Cells Shown To Improve Chronic Discogenic Low Back Pain
Xiaodong Pang and colleagues have demonstrated the successful use of human umbilical cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells in the treatment of chronic discogenic low back pain. The study, published in Pain Physician, is the first study to addressing the potential...
