Clinical Trials for Critical Limb ischemia going to begin soon
Dr. Chris Kontos, co-director of the Duke Heart and Vascular Group, will be coordinating the trial that focuses on the stem cell regime developed by Pluristem Thera¬peutics. In lab tests on animals, the use of stem cells not only improved blood flow, but also grew new blood vessels. Theray is based on an allogenic concept using stem cells derived from Placenta. These cells are one size fit all, they come from material that is thrown away, and outpatients can be injected in a process that takes ... Readmore
A pulmonary Hypertension Patient says
I’m a middle-aged woman who has pulmonary hypertension. My doctors want to put me on Flolan. But my husband and I have identified an established adult stem cell therapy program in the Dominican Republic in which my own blood would be used to provide stem cells, which would then be inserted into my lungs via a heart catheter. I have spoken to a patient who had the therapy for the same condition, and he is off oxygen and drugs and is back to work. Do you think this could be credible? ... Readmore
Heart Patient after Stem Cell therapy
Benson, a trained biochemist who used to conduct tests for the environmental protection agency. Non-smoker, non-drinker, didn’t have diabetes ever or any coronary heart disease; but developed heart failure after catching a virus several years ago. I was essentially dying of this heart failure. “I was so far down, I had to try.” Then become a part of clinical trials at University of Utah in salt lake city, stem cells were extracted from hip bone and injected back into targeted site ...

“Regain the lost teeth with Stem Cells”
Stem cells Treatment are now used to treat incurable diseases, which were beyond our imagination once. It seems that stem cells will now be used to grow different parts of our body such as heart, hand, lungs and such other organs. Similarly, scientists have now engineered to grow teeth with the help of Stem Cells. The bio-engineered teeth will have the same look and work as the natural teeth as hardness, structure and sensitivity and responsiveness. Scientists in “Tokyo University of Science... Readmore
