Clinical Advantages of Umbilical Cord-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells
A recent review in the World Journal of Stem Cells has described the nature of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells and the clinical advantages of using these stem cells over other types of stem cells. Other mesenchymal stem cells that are used in research...
Increasing the Safety of Stem Cell Interventions for Cancer
A recent study, published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, demonstrates that the repeated infusion of mesenchymal stem cells could improve the safety of certain type of stem cell cancer therapies. Specifically, this approach could reduce dangerous...
Nitric Oxide Helping Patients with Hypertension & Pre-Hypertension
Research has long shown that nitric oxide regulates the cardiovascular system. The molecule naturally occurs within cells and organs of the body but quickly degrades. Physicians and scientists have therefore suggested that supplementing patients with cardiovascular...
Umbilical Cord Stem Cells Ability to Restore Damaged Ovaries
One of the several unfortunate side effects of chemotherapy, which is often used to combat cancer, is damage to the ovaries. Researchers have recently shown that the use of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells provides one potentially promising way to treat the...
Study Shows Stem Cells Observed to Prevent Muscle Atrophy
Muscle atrophy refers to the wasting of muscles, which can occur due to lack of exercise or as a result of disease or even medication. Some forms of muscle atrophy can be treated with changes to the diet, exercise, or physical therapy, whereas others can be treated...
Reviewing Progress in Research Aimed at Understanding How Stem Cells Could Help Those with Diabetic Kidney Disease
Diabetic kidney disease often occurs in those with diabetes mellitus, even when they are undergoing normal diabetes treatment. Given the success that has been seen with a number of stem cell therapies and the lack of highly effective treatment options for diabetic...
Study: Umbilical Cord Stem Cell Use in Human Multiple Sclerosis
Patients with multiple sclerosis suffer from an impairment in the function of specific cells of their immune system, known as T regulatory cells. The cause for the disease is not clear, and though treatments do exist, they tend to be expensive and to also carry the...
Stem Cell Transplants Show Promise for Lupus Like Diseases
Stem cells have shown promise for treating a number of autoimmune diseases, where the immune system attacks the body. Lupus causes chronic inflammation as a result of immune system attack of the body’s tissues and organs and so is a reasonable candidate for stem cell...
Stem Cells Treated with Morin Hydrate Can Protect Against Hearing Loss
Given the promise they have shown for treating neurodegenerative disease and different types of damage to the brain, it is likely that stem cells have the potential to combat hearing loss. Researchers have recently shown how combining neural stem cells with a specific...
Stem Cells Shown to Reduce Noise-Induced Hearing Loss
When cochlear cells within the ear are damaged from exposure to high levels of noise, long-term, permanent hearing loss can occur. Because this hearing loss is associated with damaged cells, researchers have reasoned that replacing those cells with stem cells may...
Stem Cells Show Promise for Improving Female Pattern Hair Loss
Female pattern hair loss is not well understood, but a new study has helped shed light on how stem cells may be able to help treat the disorder. While both aging and family history of male or female pattern baldness can increase the likelihood of experiencing female...
New Research Clarifying How Stem Cells Help Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients
A group of researchers in China who have recently observed positive effects of stem cells on patients with rheumatoid arthritis have now conducted an experiment that helps clarify exactly how these stem cells may contribute to improved symptoms in this particular...
