Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a serious and chronic lung disease marked by progressive scarring of lung tissue. Over time, this scarring thickens and stiffens the lungs, making it increasingly difficult for oxygen to pass into the bloodstream. As lung function declines, patients may experience shortness of breath, persistent dry cough, fatigue, and reduced exercise…
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a life-changing condition that affects hundreds of thousands of people in the United States. Each year, approximately 17,000 new cases are reported, and more than 290,000 individuals are living with long-term effects. Damage to the spinal cord can lead to partial or complete loss of movement and sensation below the…
Mesenchymal stromal cell therapy, often called MSC therapy, has become one of the most widely studied approaches in regenerative and cellular medicine. Over the past two decades, researchers have explored its potential to treat a wide range of inflammatory and immune-related conditions, including heart disease, lung injury, autoimmune disorders, and complications following cancer treatment. As…
Mesenchymal stromal stem cells, commonly called MSCs, have been among the most-studied cell types in regenerative medicine over the past two decades. They have been tested in hundreds of clinical trials for conditions ranging from joint degeneration to heart disease, autoimmune disorders, lung injury, and complications after transplantation. MSCs have consistently been shown to be…
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…
Low back pain is one of the most common health problems worldwide. It affects quality of life, limits work and daily activities, and creates a significant economic burden. In many adults, especially those over age 50, a key driver of this pain is lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration. When the disc between the vertebrae begins to…
Aging is a universal biological process marked by the gradual decline of physiological function across all organ systems. It is driven by a combination of genetic, environmental, and molecular factors that influence the rate of deterioration from birth onward. Although inevitable, scientific progress in regenerative medicine has identified potential ways to mitigate its effects and…
Pulmonary fibrosis is a chronic and progressive lung disease marked by abnormal scarring of the tissue surrounding the air sacs. This process thickens and stiffens the lungs, leading to shortness of breath, fatigue, and reduced oxygen exchange. Current medications, such as pirfenidone and nintedanib, can slow disease progression but do not reverse tissue damage. As…
Chronic low back pain (cLBP) remains one of the most prevalent and disabling conditions worldwide, significantly affecting the quality of life and productivity for millions of individuals. For those dealing with discogenic cLBP—pain caused by degeneration or damage to the intervertebral discs—the journey toward lasting relief is often frustrating and unsuccessful. Traditional treatment options frequently…
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological disorder that can affect all of your body systems. People suffering from MS often report neurological, muscular, and skin problems as the disease progresses. If you have MS, you may develop puzzling skin symptoms and conditions that need to be addressed. Your skin is the largest organ in your…
