Cell Therapy for Heart Failure. Stem cells possess great promise for addressing cardiovascular conditions like heart failure and coronary artery disease. Numerous clinical trials have corroborated the safety and efficacy of stem cell therapy. The idea is to improve cardiac function and mitigate the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events. Stem cells hold significant potential […]
Stem Cell Therapy for Spinal Cord Injuries.
Stem Cell Therapy for Spinal Cord Injuries. The results of a study at the Sapporo Medical University in Japan showed that bone marrow-derived stem cell therapy is safe and effective for treating spinal cord injuries. Japan approves, the first commercially produced stem cell-based product, Stemilac injection, for treating spinal cord injuries. Nipro and Sapporo Medical […]
Stem Cell Treatments for Asthma.
Stem Cell Treatments for Asthma. Patients with severe asthma have unmet clinical needs for effective and safe treatments. One promising avenue is therapy with mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with airway hyperresponsiveness, chronic inflammatory response, and excessive structural remodeling. Current therapeutic strategies for asthmatic patients focus on controlling the […]
Stem Cells and the Thyroid
Stem Cells and the Thyroid. It is possible to use patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) for treating hypothyroidism. Stem cell therapy has demonstrated the ability to restore thyroid function, even after complete destruction. Stem cells aid in permanently restoring the function of thyroid follicular cells. Further studies and subsequent findings will exponentially improve these […]
Stem Cells and Vitiligo
Stem Cells and Vitiligo: Administering Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Vitiligo Can: Scientists Obtain Melanocytes from Stem Cells According to an article by Informed. French scientists have successfully obtained melanocytes capable of producing melanin. Melanin is essential for normal skin pigmentation and protection against ultraviolet rays from multipotent stem cells in vitro. This achievement brings new […]
Stem Cells for Lupus
The confirmed potential of mesenchymal stem cells for treating lupus. Scientists have successfully tested a therapy with mesenchymal stem cells in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. Researchers from the University Clinical Hospital of Valladolid and the Institute of Biology and Molecular Genetics (IBGM). A joint center of the University of Valladolid and the CSIC. They […]
Stem Cells for Osteoporosis
The use of stem cells for tissue regeneration has generated great hope in various fields of medicine. Including disorders such as Osteoporosis. Stem cell therapy for osteoporosis can potentially increase bone mineral density loss. By increasing the number of stem cells or restoring the function of resident stem cells that can proliferate and differentiate into […]
Umbilical cord stem cells for treating rheumatoid arthritis
Trial of an umbilical cord stem cell drug to treat rheumatoid arthritis. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved research with a drug using umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells. The goal is to treat rheumatoid arthritis. “BX-U001 would have the potential to alleviate the symptoms of this disease and prevent the disabilities it […]
Stem cells and the diabetic foot
The treatment of diabetic feet with adult stem cells is obtaining outstanding results in several studies worldwide. The American Diabetes Association estimates that complications of UPD cause 85 percent of one leg amputated every 30 to two worldwide. But today, doctors can save lower limbs from amputation. Stem cells have the ability to replace damaged […]
