The aging process is inevitable. Despite advancements in the field of medicine, this statement remains a universal truth. However, new research into the anti-aging potential of stem cell therapy reveals that, while we continue to grow older, stem cells can reduce the negative impact of aging on your overall health. Stem cells have the ability [Read More]
Stem cell injections are gaining momentum as regenerative treatment for common orthopedic, autoimmune, and inflammatory conditions. Unlike surgery, stem cell injections promote the body’s own healing process, omitting the need for incisions and lengthy recovery times. But, how long do stem cell injections last? Will you have to return for additional treatments? This article will [Read More]
Stem cells can be used to treat a number of conditions and diseases, but it can be confusing trying to figure out how it all works. Stem cells treat disease of varying types in much the same way across the board. Understanding how stem cells treat disease is important in deciding if you want to [Read More]
Stem cells are a hot topic right now in the medical world. Although stem cell research and clinical trials have been ongoing for decades, it is only in recent years that these studies and treatments have been working toward perfection. More is being done with stem cells today than ever before. But what exactly are [Read More]
From strangers to best friends, a stem cell transplant recipient was asked by the man who saved his life to be his best man. The two men, Brett Dingwall and Paul Rogers, became friends following the transplant. Brett Dingwall was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia more than a decade ago. He survived the illness thanks [Read More]
Advances in technology have made it possible for someone to buy the various components of a computer from an electronics store and build a sophisticated, functional, complex machine in their garage. Biologists have been experimenting with a similar approach to repairing and regenerating damaged tissues and organs in the human body.
The results of a study published in Stem Cell Reports indicate the electrical stimulation can be used to guide neural stem cells to the site of damaged brain tissue. This is a breakthrough finding since it will allow scientists to more minutely control stem cell treatment.
Myth #1 – Stem cell therapies are tried and tested The only well-defined and extensively used stem cell treatment is in the hematopoietic (blood) system; for example, bone marrow transplantation, in which healthy bone marrow stem cells replace destroyed and damaged bone marrow (the soft fatty tissue inside bones that produces blood cells). Stem cells [Read More]
