Microencapsulated stem cells for tissue repairing in cell-based myocardial therapy
Stem cells have the unique properties of self-renewal, pluripotency and a high proliferative capability, which contributes to a large biomass potential. Hence, these cells act as a useful source for acquiring renewable adult cell lines. This, in turn, acts as a potent therapeutic tool to treat various diseases related to the heart, liver and kidney, as well as neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. However, a major problem that must be overcome before it can ... Readmore
Fractures that fail to heal now can be treated with Adult stem cells
Adult stem cells can offer a new treatment for the 10 to 20 percent of fractures that fail to heal. “Lack of fracture repair often leads to several surgeries, long periods of immobilization, pain, bone deformities, and sometimes death. The precise reason why a patient’s fracture does not heal remains unknown in most cases,” said senior investigator Dr. Anna Spagnoli, of the University of North Carolina. A deficiency in adult stem cells, which normally become reparative cells in response to... Readmore
Can Celiac Disease be treated with stem cells…?
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC), mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and embryonic-like stem cells (ESC) found in Umbilical cord blood can cure many incurable diseases. Umbilical cord blood is well-recognized to be useful for treating hematopoietic and genetic disorders. Leukemia Stem Cell Therapy was considered a miracle for a 12 year old girl ,that eliminated her coeliac disease. This kind of transplant is thought to have improved or stabilised a number of auto-immune diseases, including lupus, rheuma... Readmore
Stem Cell therapy Can Help Regenerate Parathyroid
Success is taking high parameters. University of Michigan researchers a step closer to parathyroid gland transplants that could one day prevent a currently untreatable form of bone loss associated with thyroid surgery. The scientists were able to induce embryonic stem cells to differentiate into parathyroid cells that produced a hormone essential to maintaining bone density. We used human embryonic stem cells as a model for ways to work out the recipe to make parathyroid cells,” says Gerar... Readmore
Attacking cancer stem cells …a way to treat Mesothelioma
A new cancer treatment is on the horizon since scientists made a breakthrough discovery in the understanding of how tumor cells grow. The basis of the treatment is that a tiny portion of cancer cells, which have been named cancer stem cells, is the cause of the malignant nature of tumors. “We think it’s going to be very possible to develop safe and effective agents targeting cancer stem cells, based on the work we’ve already achieved to date,” said John Lewicke, Oncomed&#...

Stem Cell Therapy for STROKE
Looking for the Treatment for incurable diseases….??? Now no more Pains anymore. ..!! Stem Cell Therapy is the answer to every Question….. The sudden onset of stroke is devastating and leads to temporary and/or permanent disability to speech, sensation, memory and motor neuron damage. The damage is caused by a bleeding or blocked cerebral blood vessel leading to local brain damaged areas with loss of neurons and glial cells. Although there are niches and reservoirs of stem cells in the adult... Readmore
Stem Cell Therapy for Cerebral Palsy
Now a days treating incurable diseases is not a major issue, Stem Cell Therapy has helped many patients getting treatment for incurable diseases of which Cerebral Palsy in one disease. John Ballard: I recently returned from having sc therapy for stroke repair which I suffered 3+ years ago. The place I went is called XCell Center, Germany. The experience was a very good one, they don’t make outlandish promises, they use your own SC’s and they are reasonable with their expense. Nicolas... Readmore
Paste of Stem Cell for keeping Bone Healthy
New stem cell studies at the University of Maryland Dental School demonstrate that surgeons could one day routinely use strong, moldable, and injectable pastes to regenerate needed bone tissue to repair broken bones, fractures, genetic defects, even combat bone wounds. The Dental School presentation showed that human stem cells seeded in tissue engineering scaffolding exhibited “excellent attachment and osteogenic differentiation,” which is the process of laying down new bone materia...

Can ALS disease be treated with Stem Cell Therapy?
ALS is often called Lou Gehrig’s disease, but the face of ALS today is Stephen Hawking. He’s the wheelchair-bound British astrophysicist who has lived with the crippling disease for almost 50 years. He got married, had children, and rose to international fame as a professor at Cambridge after his diagnosis. My favorite part is the photo: he can still smile. The life expectancy for most ALS patients is less than 5 years. What makes Hawking so different? Age at diagnosis, support from ... Readmore
Human umbilical cord blood stem cells can be used to treat myocardial infarction and stroke
University of Arizona Medical School, Tucson, Arizona, USA discovered that Myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke are the first and third leading causes of death in the U.S.A. accounting for more than 1 in 3 deaths per annum. Despite interventional and pharmaceutical advances, the number of people diagnosed with heart disease is on the rise. Therefore, new clinical strategies are needed. Cell-based therapy holds great promise for treatment of these diseases and is currently under extensive precli... Readmore
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 ...

India’s great contribution in the field of Stem cell therapy
First stem cell transplantation for a traumatic brain injury has been successfully in India at BGS Hospitals, Bangalore under the supervision of Chief Neurosurgeon, Dr. N K Venkataramana. This transplant results in a great achievement with Patient being improved from from a condition of altered sensorium, severe cognitive dysfunction and no movement of limbs to fully conscious with full memory gain, communicating and purposive movement of the limbs.” India is one of the chief supporter of ...

Stem Cell Therapy in Costa Rica…..
Arizona man: Mark Palmer, due to no stem cell therapy available in US yet, went to Costa Rica for improvement of his life quality. Mark was 29 when he got paralyzed from the chest down in a 2003 car accident. Five years later, his wife, Celeste, read about stem cell potential to regenerate damaged spinal cord tissue and found a clinic in Costa Rica called the Institute for Cellular Medicine. Mark got the stem cell therapy at the large expense of 30,000$ believing the claim of the centre for 80% ... Readmore
