Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy: A New Therapeutic Approach for Ankylosing Spondylitis
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a progressive, inflammatory rheumatoid disease that, over time, can result in chronic spinal arthritis and can cause the vertebrae to fuse together. Affecting an estimated 300,000 people in the U.S., AS causes the spine to become less...
A Review on Stem Cell Research
Regenerative medicine using stem cell therapy has grown in popularity in the past years because of the promising results it has shown for the management of conditions, injuries, and other issues. By understanding the power of stem cells, the options available,...
Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Hyaluronic Acid for Articular Cartilage Defects
Articular cartilage primarily consists of chondrocytes and extracellular matrix and has an essential role in the process of joint movement, including lubrication, shock absorption, and conduction. However, over time, damage to the articular cartilage caused by acute...
What is Multiple Sclerosis Life Expectancy
Around the world, an estimated 1.8 million people live with multiple sclerosis. This autoimmune condition is chronic and can affect your life expectancy. The right treatment options, however, may impact the outcome you can expect. Learn about multiple sclerosis life...
Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation to affect many different body systems including the joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, brain, heart, and lungs. Affecting over 5 million people worldwide, and associated with a wide...
Advancements in COPD Treatment Options
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a condition that affects about 12.5 million people in the United States. COPD can become progressively worse over time and affect your breathing. Although lifestyle changes, oxygen therapy, and medications have...
Regenerative Medicine Using Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Biomedical applications of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the field of regenerative medicine continue to evolve. Coupled with the rapid development of molecular biology and transplantation techniques, MSC applications have become a central focus of research...
Understanding Multiple Sclerosis and its Prognosis
Almost one million people in the United States live with multiple sclerosis (MS). MS is a chronic neurological condition affecting the nerve fibers in the central nervous system. Receiving a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis is difficult, and it can be even...
Pentosan Polysulfate Sodium and its Effect for Improving Dyslipidemia and Osteoarthritis Knee Pain
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive joint disease that occurs as a result of the cartilage that cushions the bones wearing down over time. Currently, it is estimated that over 500 million people worldwide are affected by OA. Clinical OA studies have shown...
Treatments for Newly Diagnosed Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s disease is a complex neurological disorder. It can affect many aspects of your life and wear down your mental health. Fortunately, there are now modern treatment options that help you manage your Parkinson’s symptoms. If you’ve just received a...
Review of the Delivery Route for Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Through Skeletal Muscle
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have repeatedly demonstrated the capacity to limit injury and promote regeneration through signaling and secretion of trophic factors. Considering this, MSCs have been increasingly used as a treatment for a wide variety of injuries and...
How Long Does It Take to Recover from a Stroke?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that more than 795,000 people in the United States suffer a stroke every year. A stroke happens when something blocks the supply of blood to a part of the brain or when a blood vessel in the brain bursts. If...
