Microencapsulated stem cells for tissue repairing in cell-based myocardial therapy

admin — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 09:48:39 +0000

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

admin — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 09:33:46 +0000

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…?

admin — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 09:44:55 +0000

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

admin — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 09:41:36 +0000

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

admin — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 09:30:46 +0000

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

admin — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 09:33:08 +0000

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

admin — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 06:57:10 +0000

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?

admin — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 12:23:16 +0000

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

admin — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 05:32:40 +0000

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
