Researchers at Sanford Burnham Prebys discovered stem cell therapy for rare liver disease. They found the new source of stem cells just outside liver that could help cure people with Alagille syndrome. Alagille syndrome is a rare liver disease. It is chronic genetic disorder in which bile ducts of the liver are absent. Hence, leading …
Stem cell therapy is a unique approach to treating Alzheimer’s disease(AD). It involves the introduction of Mesenchymal Stem Cells into the body via IV. In large quantities, these cells can find damage within the body and repair it. Therefore, this property can make stem cell treatment for Alzheimer’s disease possible. What is Alzheimer’s disease? AD …

Human Body is likely to attack its own cell, genetically in a condition called Type 1 Diabetes. In diabetes, body destroys beta cells in pancreas that make insulin. Insulin is important to body because it helps to convert sugar into energy. This disorder can occur at any age. Therefore, if not treated carefully with insulin …
In this global race to develop treatments for covid-19, the most untrue findings were of stem cell therapy. As another year is passing by in this epidemic, misconceptions of stem cells took the scientific society by storm. While stem cell therapy treats a number of diseases and conditions, there are still no approved or clinically …
Human heart with age, gradually loses its capacity to repair itself after injury. Damage caused by heart attack and cardiac ischemia is due to low oxygen levels in heart. Hence, making it difficult to perform daily activities as heart function decreases below normal capacity. To boost heart repair after ischemic injury, scientist have turned to …

Researchers have recognized the proteins that drive cancer cells. Aiming and suppressing a specific protein called galectin1 could provide a more direct treatment for glioblastoma along with radiation therapy. In the coming future, stem cells and brain cancer will have a conflicting relationship. Glioblastoma being the most common and aggressive cancerous brain tumor in adults, …
Adult stem cells also known as somatic stem cells, are the undifferentiated cells that reside in specialized tissue and contain the major properties of stem cells. Their ability to regenerate, is however, limited in magnitude and multipotency. Cells remain in specialized environment called niche, where they exist connected to supporting cells. It is important to …

In recent years, there has been an increase in the use of stem cell injections as regenerative medicine. Popularly, this therapy treats orthopedic injuries, such as chronic tendon injuries and cartilage injuries. Similarly, the physicians are still working on finding treatments for various damages due to sport. Types of stem cell injections Bone marrow aspirate …
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is a major risk factor for heart attack and stroke. It is underdiagnoses and studies are proposing ways for treating peripheral artery disease with stem cells. It is a disease of blood vessels outside the heart and brain. The main cause of PAD is the buildup of fatty deposits in arteries. …
