Stem Cell-Based Therapy Improves Diabetic Woman’s Diabetic Foot Ulcer
Diabetic foot ulcer, which, by 2030, is projected to occur in 25% of patients who suffer from diabetes, does not currently have an attractive treatment option. The therapies that are used today are expensive, require long-term stays in the hospital, and are often not...
Stem Cell Technology Does More Than Provide Therapeutic Options
A recent publication in Advanced Experimental Medicine and Biology has pointed to the ways that stem cell technology is not only helping us to develop promising therapeutics for a number of diseases, but it is also helping us advance our understanding of a number of...
More Data on the Potential for Stem Cells in Parkinson’s Disease
Recently, researchers transplanted stem cells into patients suffering from Parkinson’s Disease and observed promising results, particularly with respect to the safety of using stem cells in this group of patients. The specific type of stem cells used are called...
Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Are Useful for Plastic & Cosmetic Surgeries
Therapies using stem cells are becoming more and more popular over time, and research is helping to clarify how these types of therapies can help patients. A new review published this year in the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy has provided a comprehensive...
Stem Cells May Help with Aging-Related Neurodegenerative Disease
Given the promising results that stem cells have shown for therapies against brain disease and disorders, researchers have reasoned that stem cells could also be useful for age-related neurodegenerative disease and stroke. Aging indeed is related to several of the...
How Stem Cells May Help with Parkinson’s Disease
A recent review has outlined the potential of using stem cells to treat Parkinson’s Disease. Parkinson’s Disease patients have been limited by the realities of their treatment options. Generally, treatments act to relieve symptoms that occur with Parkinson’s Disease...
Mesenchymal Stem Cells Improve Function and Quality of Life in Heart Failure Patients
A recent study, published in Circulation Research, has shown how umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells may help patients who suffer from heart failure. The researchers observed patients with heart failure that was chronic and stable and that presented with reduced...
Researchers Define How to Transplant Stem Cells Derived from Adipose Tissue to Help Patients with Degenerative Joint Disease
Degenerative joint diseases like Osteoarthritis are difficult to effectively treat, as total joint arthroplasties are often associated with poor outcomes. Following these surgeries, many patients need additional interventions. As such, clinicians and researchers have...
Advantages of Wharton’s Jelly-Derived Stem Cells
With the growing realization that stem cells can help countless patients suffering from various diseases and injuries has come more research into how stem cells can best be used for these purposes. The questions not only involve which patients can benefit and how, but...
Mesenchymal Stem Cells May Help Patients With Different Types of Heart Failure
Heart failure is currently treated using pharmacologic interventions that help to control the symptoms of heart failure and slow the process of deterioration. However, these drugs do not stop problematic processes occurring at the cellular level, and so patients using...
Why Stem Cells from Fat Tissue Helps Regenerate Damaged Tissue
A popular type of stem cell in the research and clinical communities is what is known as the adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cell, which are stem cells that come from fat tissue. A review published last year in Stem Cells International has provided a...
Why Mesenchymal Stem Cells Have Regenerative Potential
Mesenchymal stem cells have proved to be one of the most promising stem cell types for regenerative medicine. A recent review has compiled information from studies looking specifically at how these stem cells can be used for regenerative cell therapies. According to...
