Umbilical Cord-Derived MSCs and Immune Thrombocytopenia: Exploring a New Approach to Immune Balance

Umbilical Cord-Derived MSCs and Immune Thrombocytopenia: Exploring a New Approach to Immune Balance

When the Immune System Targets Platelets Platelets may be tiny, but they play an essential role in helping the blood clot and preventing excessive bleeding. In people with immune thrombocytopenia, or ITP, the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys platelets faster than the body can replace them. When platelet levels become very low, patients may…

Can Combining Umbilical Cord MSCs Make Regenerative Therapies More Consistent?

Can Combining Umbilical Cord MSCs Make Regenerative Therapies More Consistent?

Not All Stem Cells Behave Exactly the Same When we talk about umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells, or UC-MSCs, it can be easy to think of them as one uniform type of cell. In reality, cells collected from different umbilical cords can behave differently in the laboratory. Some may grow faster, while others may be…

Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Neurological Disorders: Understanding Their Potential for Brain and Nerve Repair

Scientific Study Review Featured Article: Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Neurological Disorders Original article: Read the original study review on PubMed Central Neurological disorders such as stroke, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and spinal cord injury can damage cells and connections within the brain and spinal cord. Because the central nervous system…

Umbilical Cord MSC Extracellular Vesicles: Exploring New Possibilities for Skin Regeneration

Umbilical Cord MSC Extracellular Vesicles: Exploring New Possibilities for Skin Regeneration

Tiny Messengers With Big Potential Healthy skin is constantly repairing, renewing, and adapting. Behind the scenes, skin cells communicate through biological signals that help coordinate many of these processes. One area gaining attention in regenerative medicine involves small extracellular vesicles, or sEVs. These tiny particles are released by cells and carry proteins and other biological…

Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells Promote Nerve Cell Protection and Blood Vessel Growth

Much of the initial excitement surrounding stem cells was that they have the potential to become other types of cells. Add cardiac stem cells to a heart damaged by a heart attack, for example, and perhaps those stem cells will become new heart cells and restore heart function. While this does occur—stem cells differentiated mature…

Umbilical Cord-Derived Stem Cells Could Help with Primary Biliary Cirrhosis

Umbilical Cord-Derived Stem Cells Could Help with Primary Biliary Cirrhosis Posted June 11, 2018 and filed under Stem Cell Research. Researchers have recently published their results from an experiment conducted to determine if a certain type of stem cell, called the umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cell, has the potential for treating primary biliary cirrhosis. Primary…

Stem Cells Improving Neurological Function Following TBI

Researchers have recently shown how a specific type of stem cell, called umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells, can improve the neurological function of patients who have experienced traumatic brain injury (TBI). When TBI occurs, the trauma to the head leads the immune system to send cells to the area of injury. The resulting swelling often…

Stem Cells Helping Treat Severe Diabetes

Severe diabetics are often treated through a technique called islet transplantation, but this transplantation method has certain limitations. Researchers have recently demonstrated that that using a certain type of stem cell, called the mesenchymal stem cell, can improve the ability of islet transplants to improve diabetes in patients. Those who suffer from Type 1 diabetes…

Stem Cell Treatment Helps Patients with Difficult-to-Treat Autoimmune Diseases

Humans cannot practically live without an immune system. The immune system helps us prevent and fight off infections and detect and destroy cancer cells. For some, however, experience conditions that affect the immune system. Autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, polymyositis, atopic dermatitis, and rheumatoid arthritis can make day to day activities challenging. Patients who…
