As winter is approaching people suffering from neurological problems can be more vulnerable to cold-related issues like severe nerve pain due to low temperature. Below are some important tips to manage the issue due to the upcoming cold weather. HOW COLD WEATHER CAN...
Review of How Intranasal Delivery Helps Treat Neurodegenerative Disease
A recent review published in BMC Neuroscience synthesizes research related to intranasal delivery and describes comprehensively how the method targets therapeutic agents to the central nervous system to treat neurodegenerative disease. Perhaps the most critical aspect...
Bone Marrow Derived Stem Cells Show Promise for Treating Osteoarthritis
In a review published in Stem Cell Research & Therapy, Gupta et al. describe the latest advances in the use of bone marrow derived stem cells to treat osteoarthritis. These cells are promising because of their ability to treat the degeneration of cartilage that...
Clinical Advantages of Umbilical Cord-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells
A recent review in the World Journal of Stem Cells has described the nature of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells and the clinical advantages of using these stem cells over other types of stem cells. Other mesenchymal stem cells that are used in research...
Increasing the Safety of Stem Cell Interventions for Cancer
A recent study, published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, demonstrates that the repeated infusion of mesenchymal stem cells could improve the safety of certain type of stem cell cancer therapies. Specifically, this approach could reduce dangerous...
Nitric Oxide Helping Patients with Hypertension & Pre-Hypertension
Research has long shown that nitric oxide regulates the cardiovascular system. The molecule naturally occurs within cells and organs of the body but quickly degrades. Physicians and scientists have therefore suggested that supplementing patients with cardiovascular...
Umbilical Cord Stem Cells Ability to Restore Damaged Ovaries
One of the several unfortunate side effects of chemotherapy, which is often used to combat cancer, is damage to the ovaries. Researchers have recently shown that the use of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells provides one potentially promising way to treat the...
Study Shows Stem Cells Observed to Prevent Muscle Atrophy
Muscle atrophy refers to the wasting of muscles, which can occur due to lack of exercise or as a result of disease or even medication. Some forms of muscle atrophy can be treated with changes to the diet, exercise, or physical therapy, whereas others can be treated...
