The Importance of Hydration for Managing Neurological Disorders
Most of us have heard about the importance of staying hydrated more times than we can count. With water playing a major role in the functionality of every major system in our bodies, replenishing our stores of H2O is indeed critical to maintaining overall wellness....
What Are Exosomes? A Look at Emerging Science
In order to tell other parts of the body how to react, cells must be able to communicate. For many years, scientists have known that cells do this through chemical secretion, which releases a message to other cells. It wasn’t until recently, however, that researchers...
Stem Cells Markedly Reduce Psoriasis Symptoms
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects more than 7 million people in the United States. Psoriasis is well known to cause red, scaly plaques on the skin, mostly on the elbows, hands, and feet—so-called plaque psoriasis. The condition can be very...
Can Vitamin D Help or Prevent MS?
Vitamin D is a naturally-occurring nutrient found in certain foods, and the body can also attain it through sun exposure. Deficiencies in this crucial nutrient can cause bone and muscle pain, and over time, may also be linked with increased risks of cardiovascular...
The Therapeutic Effects of Stem Cells in Degenerative Diseases May Be Enhanced by Exosomes
Despite innovation in healthcare and the progress we’ve made in medical interventions, there are several diseases and disorders for which there are not adequate treatments. Stem cells are becoming a more popular way of addressing these medical challenges that we have...
Lupus – What are the Signs and Symptoms?
Lupus is a chronic inflammatory disorder in which a person’s immune system attacks otherwise healthy tissue and organs. Its symptoms can be tremendously painful, and because there is still a great deal of mystery surrounding the disorder, further research is needed to...
Reviewing Stem Cell Therapies for Neurodegenerative Diseases
A recent review in Biomedicine and Pharmacotherapy has provided a comprehensive view of for how different types of stem cells can be used to treat a variety of neurodegenerative disorders and what the science now tells us about why these particular therapies are...
Stem Cells Show Protective Potential for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
Stem cells are being increasingly used to create therapies to address diseases across a number of organs. Neurodegenerative disease is one category for which there has been an abundance of research into the potential of stem cells to slow symptom progression or...
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...
