Exploring the Use of Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cell-derived Extracellular Vesicles to Improve Airway Inflammation in Cases of COPD

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an incurable and debilitating disease characterized by chronic and progressive inflammation that leads to small airway obstruction and emphysema.   According to the World Health Organization, COPD is the third leading cause of death and is responsible for an estimated 3.2 million deaths each year. Between 80 and 90% of…

Does Parkinson’s Cause Dementia?

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects movement, while dementia is a term used to describe a decline in cognitive function that can impact a person's ability to carry out daily activities. Does Parkinson's cause Dementia? While the two conditions are distinct, there is a strong link between Parkinson's disease and dementia. What…

How To Test Yourself for COPD

COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) is a chronic respiratory disease that affects the lungs and makes it difficult to breathe. It is characterized by inflammation and narrowing of the airways, as well as damage to the air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs. In this article, we will discuss how to test yourself for COPD. The…

How Does Multiple Sclerosis Affect the Body

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS). It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks and damages the protective covering of nerve fibers, called myelin, in the brain and spinal cord. A very commonly asked question is " How does Multiple Sclerosis affect the body? ". Keep reading…

Where Can You Access Regenerative Medicine For ALS?

ALS stands for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, which is a progressive and fatal neurological disease that affects the nerve cells responsible for controlling voluntary muscles. The disease causes these motor neurons to degenerate and eventually die, leading to a loss of muscle control and eventual paralysis. In this article, we will discuss the potential benefits of…

Comparison of the Effect of Cigarette Smoke on Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Dental Stem Cells

Cigarette smoking continues to be the leading contributor to preventable disease and death in the United States, including cancer, heart disease, stroke, lung diseases, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Smoking cigarettes also increases the risk of tuberculosis, certain eye diseases, chronic pain, and problems of the immune system, including rheumatoid arthritis.   An abundance…

Is Multiple Sclerosis Hereditary

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic and progressive neurological disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS), which includes the brain and spinal cord. MS occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the myelin, a fatty material that surrounds and protects nerve fibers, causing inflammation and damage to the myelin and the nerve fibers themselves.…

Anti-Inflammatory Effect of Stem Cells Against Spinal Cord Injury Via Regulating Macrophage Polarization

The National Institute of Health estimates that nearly 250,000 people in the United States are currently living with a spinal cord injury (SCI). Most often a result of an accident, SCIs typically result in the loss of neurons and axonal damage resulting in the loss of function.  SCIs can be divided into two distinct phases,…

Does Regenerative Medicine Work for Arthritis?

Arthritis is a common condition, and according to the World Health Organization (WHO), it is estimated that over 300 million people worldwide have some form of arthritis. In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that over 54 million adults have doctor-diagnosed arthritis, which represents over 23% of the adult…

Stem Cell Based Therapies for Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Currently, it’s estimated that over 1.3 million people in the U.S., and 10 million people around the world, are living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). IBD is a chronic and recurrent disease characterized by inflammation of the tissues of the digestive tract[1]. Two specific diseases included under the term IBD include Crohn’s disease (CD) and…
