A Beginner’s Guide to Bone Broth & Its Benefits
Bone broth appears to be popping up everywhere these days. Hailed for its powerful nutritious properties among communities of health-conscious individuals, the stock can be made right at home and may provide a wealth of health benefits. Although research behind its...
Mesenchymal Stem Cell Transplantation for MS and ALS
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis(ALS, Lou Gehrig's disease) and Multiple Sclerosis (MS) are two separate diseases with some important similarities. Both ALS and MS interfere with a person's ability to move. In both diseases, nerve cells are affected. In fact, in both...
Neural Progenitors Derived from Bone Mesenchymal Stem Cells Help Multiple Sclerosis Patients
Multiple Sclerosis is a disease of the nervous system that involves the demyelination of nerve cells. As nerve cells lose their myelination, it becomes harder for the cells to communicate with one another. Though there are a number of treatment options for multiple...
Lactose Intolerance vs. Milk Allergy: How Are They Different?
Lactose intolerance and milk allergy are two conditions in which patients experience adverse health effects upon consuming milk products. It’s, therefore, no surprise that they are often confused and mistakenly used interchangeably. Yet, the two have distinct...
Stem Cells Appear Safe for Treating Patients with Spinal Cord Injury
Though spinal cord injury is relatively common, with the incidence continuing to grow, there is only one medication used to treat this injury, and it is limited in its effectiveness. Methylprednisolone also comes with serious health risks and must be employed in a...
Exosomes Derived From Umbilical Cord Stem Cells Stimulate Skin Rejuvenation
As we age, the appearance and structure of our skin changes. This is plain for all to see—we can usually estimate a person's age simply by looking at their skin. Young skin is full of molecules that keep it thick, plump, and supple, such as collagen and elastin. Over...
The Link Between Magnesium & Heart Health
When it comes to the minerals your body needs to perform well, calcium and potassium tend to get most of the attention. Yet, magnesium, a mineral responsible for more than 300 reactions throughout your body, is a key player in optimal nutrition and overall health. It...
Exosomes from Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Better Than Synovial Membrane Stem Cells Exosomes for Treating Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis. About one in 10 people will develop osteoarthritis at some point in their lifetimes. As the condition progresses, synovial membranes and cartilage break down. Osteoarthritis causes people to experience joint pain,...
Exosomes Taken from Stem Cells Help Protect Heart Cells in Heart Attack-Like Conditions
A heart attack is a life-threatening event in which blood flow through a coronary artery—and blood flow to the heart muscle itself—stops. If that blood flow is not quickly restored, heart muscle dies. A heart attack can be deadly if the heart is too badly damaged. If...
The Role of Exercise in MS Management
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the central nervous system. The disorder produces a broad range of symptoms, including fatigue and poor muscle coordination, which can make exercise daunting. Yet, research shows that in addition to...
Umbilical Cord Blood Stem Cell Treatment for Psoriatic Arthritis
Psoriatic arthritis is a chronic inflammatory condition that can become profoundly disabling. As a form of arthritis, the condition causes swollen, painful joints. The number and types of joints affected can vary over time, but most patients have polyarthritis i.e....
Using Stem Cells to Treat Erectile Dysfunction: State-Of-The-Science
Men with erectile dysfunction cannot achieve or maintain an erection suitable for sexual intercourse. Erectile dysfunction can be devastating for the men who suffer from it, putting a strain on intimate relationships, and causing significant emotional suffering....
