What is Crohn’s Disease?
Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that primarily affects the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It is characterized by inflammation, which can occur anywhere along the digestive tract from the mouth to the anus, although it most commonly affects...
Investigating the Safety of Human Wharton’s Jelly Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy across Multiple Indications
Human umbilical cord Wharton’s Jelly derived mesenchymal stem cells (WJ-MSCs) are reported as the most potent cell source of MSCs, however, they remain understudied in comparison to other autologous sources of MSCs. Mehling et al.’s study aimed to evaluate the safety...
Diagnosis & Treatment for Multiple Sclerosis
What is Multiple Sclerosis? Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic and potentially disabling autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS). The central nervous system comprises the brain and the spinal cord, which are responsible for transmitting...
Exploring the Potential of Umbilical Cord as a Source for Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Based Therapy
Because of its ability to simultaneously activate multiple mechanisms, including paracrine, trophic, immunomodulatory, and differentiation, researchers consider mesenchymal stem cells to be an effective option for stem cell therapy. After years of active...
Post Stroke Treatment and Diagnosis
What is Post Stroke and How is it Diagnosed? "Post-stroke" or "post-stroke period" refers to the period of time following a stroke. A stroke occurs when there is a sudden disruption of blood flow to a part of the brain, leading to brain cell damage and, potentially,...
Mesenchymal Stem Cell Treatment for Crohn’s Disease
According to the CDC, an estimated 3.1 million adults (1.3%) in the United States have been diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis. Characterized by abdominal pain, severe diarrhea,...
Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicles and Their Role in Regenerative Medicine
Researchers continue to tout the potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as an evolving approach for the repair of damaged tissue or lost cells. Specifically, the ability of MSCs to differentiate and secrete beneficial factors and vesicles is believed to play...
Symptoms of Kidney Disease
What is Kidney Disease? Kidney disease, also known as renal disease or nephropathy, refers to a condition in which the kidneys are damaged or unable to function properly. The kidneys play a crucial role in filtering waste products, excess fluid, and toxins from the...
Cartilage Repair with Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common and widespread form of arthritis, affecting an estimated 655 million people worldwide. Occurring as a result of cartilage degeneration, OA is a progressive degenerative disorder that most commonly affects the joints of the hands,...
What is Transverse Myelitis?
Transverse myelitis is a neurological condition characterized by inflammation of the spinal cord. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the spinal cord, damaging the nerve fibers and causing various neurological symptoms. The inflammation in transverse...
What is Ozone IV Therapy?
Medical ozone refers to the therapeutic use of ozone gas in medical treatments. Ozone (O3) is a molecule composed of three oxygen atoms, and it is a highly reactive form of oxygen. In medical ozone applications, the ozone gas is thought to stimulate the immune system,...
Adipose Tissue-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Their Contribution to Tissue Regeneration
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) isolated from a wide variety of tissues and organs have demonstrated immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and regenerative properties that contribute to a host of regenerative and immunomodulatory activities, including tissue homeostasis...
