Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Autoimmune and Rheumatic Diseases: What the Research Shows

Autoimmune and rheumatic diseases affect millions of people worldwide and can involve the joints, skin, gut, nervous system, and many other organs. Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, lupus, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, and Sjögren’s syndrome often cause chronic pain, fatigue, and progressive damage.  Standard treatments usually focus on calming the immune system with medications…

Clinical Application of Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Autoimmune Conditions

The onset of autoimmune diseases is related to unbalanced immune homeostasis and leads to the injury and failure of several organ specific tissues. Currently estimated to affect 8-10% of the population, these autoimmune diseases are associated with serious impairment, high mortality rate, and significant medical costs. The discovery of stem cells, and specifically mesenchymal stem…

Exploring The Efficacy and Safety of Mesenchymal Stem Cell Transplantation in Autoimmune Conditions

The purpose of Zeng et al.’s review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation in the treatment of autoimmune diseases. MSCs have been found to have powerful immune regulation functions, multi differentiation potential, and the ability to promote hematopoiesis and tissue repair. These stem cells have also…

10 Most Common Autoimmune Diseases

Your body is generally very good at telling what’s a foreign invader, like a virus or bacteria, and what’s not — but sometimes, it gets it wrong.  If you have an autoimmune disease, your immune system has begun to associate parts of your body, like your skin or joints, as foreign. When this occurs, the…

How Does Stem Cell Therapy Work?

Treatment of injuries and damage to organs and other tissues as a result of the aging process or conditions has often relied on managing symptoms. By offering painkillers and steroids, healthcare providers can keep you more comfortable, but they are not targeting the cause of the problem. This means you have to keep relying on…

Stem Cell Therapy and the Recovery Process

After suffering an injury or experiencing any kind of damage to your body, it’s common to worry about how long the recovery process will take and wonder how soon you’ll be back to your normal self. The answer greatly depends on your physical health, the type of injury you face, and the treatments you’re receiving. …

Mesenchymal Stem Cell Transplantation in the Management of Autoimmune Diseases

Recent estimates indicate that one in every 10 people is affected by an autoimmune disease.   Autoimmune diseases occur when the normal function of the immune system mistakenly attacks normal and healthy cells within the body; examples of autoimmune diseases include rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes, and lupus. Currently, there are over 80 known types of…

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 expectancy and how the latest treatments help. Understanding Multiple Sclerosis Multiple sclerosis is a chronic…

How Do You Treat Autoimmune Disease Naturally?

Autoimmune diseases are inflammatory diseases that can also be connected to chronic conditions like dementia, depression, diabetes, and heart disease. Usually, autoimmune diseases come with symptoms of inflammation, which conventional clinical methods treat through anti-inflammatory medications. The problem is that anti-inflammatory medications do not address the underlying causes of inflammation. There could be hidden infections,…

Stem Cells For Autoimmune Diseases: MSCs

For decades, autoimmune diseases such as Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have posed a major challenge to researchers and healthcare providers. While medical interventions have evolved tremendously in the last few decades, these serious conditions remain notoriously difficult to treat. Here we talk about Stem Cell for Autoimmune Diseases, Specifically Mesenchymal…
