Mesenchymal stem cells have proved to be one of the most promising stem cell types for regenerative medicine. A recent review has compiled information from studies looking specifically at how these stem cells can be used for regenerative cell therapies. According to the authors of this review, as part of the effort to characterize mesenchymal…
As the name suggests, neurodegenerative diseases are a disease of the nervous system in which nerve cells (i.e. neurons) become dysfunctional and die. As more nerve cells die, certain brain functions slow, change or stop. Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are examples of debilitating and even fatal neurodegenerative diseases.…

Supporting the Immune System After Transplantation Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a complication that can occur after a donor stem cell transplant. It develops when donated immune cells begin attacking the recipient’s tissues, creating inflammation that may affect areas such as the skin, liver, and digestive system. When the condition does not respond adequately to corticosteroids,…
Exploring a Multi-Dose Regenerative Approach Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) continue to be studied for their ability to release biological signals that may help support tissue repair, blood vessel health, and a balanced inflammatory response. While many clinical studies have investigated a single MSC treatment, researchers are also interested in whether multiple doses could provide more…
A New Window for Stroke Recovery An ischemic stroke occurs when blood flow to part of the brain becomes blocked, potentially affecting movement, strength, speech, and independence. While treatments during the earliest stage of stroke have advanced, researchers are also looking for ways to better support recovery in the weeks and months that follow. A…
Supporting Healthier Spinal Discs The discs between the bones of the spine help absorb shock and support movement. As these discs begin to degenerate, inflammation, cell damage, and changes in the surrounding tissue can contribute to discomfort and reduced function. Researchers are exploring regenerative approaches that may help support healthier disc cells. A 2025 study…
Exploring New Options for Knee Osteoarthritis Knee osteoarthritis is a common joint condition that develops as cartilage and other tissues within the knee gradually change over time. For many people, this can lead to ongoing pain, stiffness, and difficulty staying active. As regenerative medicine continues to advance, researchers are studying whether mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)…
Exploring New Possibilities for Spinal Cord Recovery Spinal cord injuries can have lasting effects on movement, sensation, and independence. Because the spinal cord has a limited ability to repair itself, researchers continue to explore regenerative approaches that may help support recovery. One promising area of research involves exosomes derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem…
A Simpler Look at Osteoarthritis Osteoarthritis is a common joint condition that can cause pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility. It is often thought of as “wear and tear,” but it is more than just aging joints. Osteoarthritis can also involve inflammation, cartilage breakdown, and changes in the joint environment that make healing more difficult.…
