Could PRP Help When Knee Arthritis Becomes Severe? For people living with advanced knee osteoarthritis, everyday activities like walking, climbing stairs, or standing for long periods can become increasingly difficult. As cartilage wears down and inflammation develops, pain and stiffness can make it harder to stay active. A 2026 clinical trial explored whether platelet-rich plasma…
Could PRP Help With More Than Back Pain? Lower back pain can make even simple activities, like sitting at a desk, bending down, or enjoying a walk, uncomfortable. For some people, the problem begins with the spinal discs, which act as cushions between the bones of the spine. When these discs begin to wear down,…
Could Umbilical Cord Blood Help Support Movement? For children with cerebral palsy, everyday movements such as sitting, standing, and walking can require extra effort. Cerebral palsy affects how the brain controls movement and posture, making physical therapy and other supportive treatments an important part of daily life. Researchers are now exploring whether umbilical cord blood…
What If the Benefits of MSCs Aren’t Just About the Cells? Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), commonly called lupus, is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues. Because lupus can affect different parts of the body, managing inflammation and an overactive immune response is an important part of treatment. A recent…
Could Lost Retinal Cells Be Replaced? Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of vision loss, affecting the central vision people use for reading, driving, and recognizing faces. In dry AMD, specialized cells in the back of the eye gradually become damaged or lost, contributing to worsening vision over time. A first-in-human clinical trial…
Making More From Umbilical Cord Blood Umbilical cord blood has been used as a source of blood-forming stem cells for decades. These cells can rebuild the blood and immune system after intensive treatment, making cord blood an important transplant option for people with serious blood disorders and cancers. One challenge, however, is that a single…
Looking Beyond Everyday Knee Pain Knee osteoarthritis can turn simple activities like walking, climbing stairs, or getting out of a chair into uncomfortable tasks. While cartilage changes are part of the condition, inflammation inside the joint can also play an important role in pain and stiffness. A recent randomized clinical trial explored whether umbilical cord-derived…
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy uses growth factors from a patient's own blood to target inflammation and support tissue repair, which may help with fibromyalgia-related pain and fatigue. Research on long-term outcomes is still developing, and results vary by patient. At Stemedix, we design personalized regenerative medicine plans based on each patient's diagnosis, since fibromyalgia symptoms…
When Knee Pain Starts Getting in the Way Knee osteoarthritis can make simple things feel a lot harder than they should. Walking upstairs, exercising, standing for long periods, or even getting up from a chair can become uncomfortable as the joint gets stiffer and more painful over time. That’s why researchers continue to look for…
Protecting the Insulin the Body Can Still Make Type 1 diabetes develops when the immune system attacks the pancreatic beta cells responsible for producing insulin.
