Exosomes Derived from Mature Chondrocytes Facilitate Subcutaneous Stable Ectopic Chondrogenesis of Cartilage Progenitor Cells
Repairing the structure and functionality associated with subcutaneous cartilage defects continues to be a challenge in the fields of plastic and reconstructive surgery. While current methods, including autologous chondrocyte implantation and matrix-assisted...
A Systematic Review of Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy in Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating pathological condition affecting motor, sensory, and autonomic function. Additionally, recovery from a traumatic SCI (TSCI) is challenging due to the central nervous system’s limited capacity to regenerate cells, myelin, and...
Exercise as a Key to Stroke Prevention
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that an average of 795,000 people each year in the United States suffer a stroke. The majority of these are new strokes. Knowing whether you have a high risk of suffering a stroke is important, but so is knowing...
Harnessing Exosomes as Cutting-Edge Drug Delivery Systems for Revolutionary Osteoarthritis Therapy
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic joint condition that causes pain and lack of mobility through the progressive degradation of joint cartilage. While there are several current pharmaceutical, physical therapy, and surgical treatments to address the symptoms of OA,...
A Comprehensive Review of Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Patients
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rare, deadly progressive neurological disease that affects the upper and lower motor neurons. Characterized by weakening and gradual atrophy of the voluntary muscles, ALS gradually affects the ability to eat, speak, move, and...

Assessing The Efficacy and Safety of Umbilical Cord-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Chinese Adults with Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a serious health condition characterized by progressive deterioration in glycemic control resulting from decreased insulin sensitivity and diminished insulin secretion. Currently, it is estimated that over 462 million people...
Stem Cell Therapy for Stroke Recovery
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 795,000 people have strokes every year in the United States, and about 610,000 of these are first or new strokes. Recovering from a stroke can be a complex process that involves many types of...
Mesenchymal Stem Cells and MSCs-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Immunomodulatory Effects in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a common multisystemic autoimmune disease that often results in multi-organ damage when left untreated. Currently affecting over 1.5 million Americans, the etiology and pathogenesis of SLE continue to remain unclear. At present,...
Good Habits, Therapies, and Treatments for COPD
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) affects nearly 16 million adults in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it is the sixth leading cause of death in the country. COPD refers to a number of progressive lung...
A Review on the Potential of Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Exosomes for Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most predominant neurodegenerative disorder worldwide, affecting over 10 million people. Characterized by a slow and progressive loss of control of the neurological system as a result of dopamine depletion, symptoms of PD often...
How Does Stem Cell Therapy Work?
Treatment of injuries and damage to organs and other tissues as a result of the aging process or conditions has often relied on managing symptoms. By offering painkillers and steroids, healthcare providers can keep you more comfortable, but they are not targeting the...
