Researchers Learning to Use Stem Cells to Repair Cartilage
A group of Japanese researchers have just released a study that advances our understanding of how we can use a specific type of stem cells to help patients recover from cartilage damage. This group worked with a specific type of stem cell called bone marrow-derived...
Research Study Recognizes Safety of Adipose Stem Cell Procedure
After following the patients for an average of 2.5 years after their treatment, the scientists concluded that the treatment was safe for this group. No serious adverse side effects were observed in any of the patients. Researchers in Poland have just published a study...
Stem Cells Continue to Help Neurological Disabilities in Patients With Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) involves the deterioration of the nervous system as a result of immune attack. Because MS is thought to be a disorder that is mediated by the immune system, treatments developed to combat the disorder often involve inhibiting the immune system...
How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is Helping Those with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) often leads to devastating results not because of the initial blow to the head, but instead because of the inflammatory processes that follow as a consequence of the hit. Thus, preventing or slowing the inflammation that occurs after the...
Study Shows Stem Cells Helping with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP)
Research has pointed strongly toward autologous adipose tissue-derived mesencymal stem cells (AdMSC's) as a treatment option for a number of neurological diseases. There is growing evidence that these cells can successfully differentiate into neurons in the brain,...
Stem Cells and Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment Helping with Traumatic Brain Injury
Both Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBO) treatment and Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC's) have been used as interventions for patients suffering from Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Though each of these therapeutic approaches can confer benefits to patients, researchers have shown...
Study Shows Effectiveness of Intranasal Delivery of Stem Cells for Parkinson’s Disease
Though research has shown that stem cells are therapeutic candidates for neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s disease, scientists have been working on overcoming the challenges associated with effectively delivering these cells to the brain. A recent study,...
Treating Brain Disorders with Stem Cells
Scientists have identified a new way to treat disorders of the brain using stem cells. Their proposed technique is particularly promising because of the ability of stem cells to cross the blood brain barrier, a barrier that has posed challenges for other drug...
Stem Cells Preventing Cognitive Decline in Alzheimer’s Disease
More research recently published in Brain Research titled "Intravenous transplantation of bone marrow-derived mono-nuclear cells prevents memory impairment in transgenic mouse models of Alzheimer's disease." shows how stem cell therapy may be a promising technique for...
Long Term Study Shows Stem Cell Transplantation Helping Patients with Multiple Sclerosis
At 6 months post-treatment, neurological improvement or stabilization was observed from all (99) patients in the study except one. In their recently published study, Long-term outcomes of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with reduced-intensity...
New Study Shows Adipose Derived Stem Cells Reversing Negative Effects of Parkinson’s Disease
Earlier this year, a group of scientists led by Yoo-Hun Suh at the Seoul National University Medical College published their work demonstrating the potential use of human adipose-derived stem cells (hASC's) in Parkinson’s therapy. Their article, Therapeutic potentials...
Doctors Using Adipose Stem Cells for Brain Injury
In their article, Neurogenic differentiation of murine and human adipose-derived stromal cells, Kristine Safford and colleagues provide evidence for a new candidate for brain therapies. Much of our body’s tissue is able to regenerate to repair itself following injury....
