Exosomes Protect Joints from Osteoarthritis Damage
Odds are, you or someone you know has osteoarthritis—it is that common. Osteoarthritis is a chronic inflammation and destruction of one or more joints. Osteoarthritis is the kind of arthritis most people think of when they think of “arthritis.” The disease usually...
PRP Therapy – Post Management Care
Many studies support platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to help benefit patients with chronic pain and injuries. This article will cover the major aspects of post management care and the best tips to optimize results. Important tips to keep in mind: · Avoid Taking any...
Using Stem Cells to Treat Nerve Damage in Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis is an inflammatory disease of the brain and spinal cord. The immune system mistakenly attacks the covering of nerve axons called the myelin sheath. Just as an electrical cord that has lost its insulation cannot work properly, so too is it with...
Exosomes from Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Reduce the Effects of Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injury is a single name given to a broad variety of conditions. In every instance of traumatic brain injury, some external force causes damage to the brain. This may be mild and short-lived, such as a concussion, or severe and permanent, such as severe...
Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Neurodegenerative Diseases
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,...
Stem Cell Treatment for ALS Headed to Phase 3 Trial
ALS, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a progressive neurologic condition. There is no current cure for this condition and the only treatments, riluzole and edaravone, are only modestly effective at slowing the disease. This lack...
New Study Focuses on MS Symptoms Through Stem Cell Transplantation
Multiple sclerosis (MS) poses distinct challenges for many individuals. Not only does it present an array of frustrating symptoms ranging from muscle weakness and numbness to vision and bladder problems, but in some patients, it may resist medications altogether. For...

The Source of Exosomes Matters
Many clinical studies have shown the safety and benefit of exosomes. As a result, numerous companies have been bringing exosome products to market. However, not all exosomes are the same. The cell type from which the exosomes are collected makes an enormous difference...
Stem Cell Therapy for Autoimmune Diseases
The immune system is divided into two major entities, depending on the type of action it exerts; the innate immune system and the specific immune system. The innate immune system, which you can think of as the first responder to foreign pathogens that try to penetrate...

The Differences Between Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy and Stem Cell Therapy
Orthopedic injuries occur each day and from different causes. An injury can result from a fall or a trauma to a musculoskeletal part of the body (e.g., knees, hips, shoulders). Many times, age or overuse can create a more common occurrence for these types of...
