  You might have heard about bone marrow transplants, right? Bone marrow transplant or stem cell transplant is used to treat a few types of blood cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. The procedures are often named after the source of stem cells. In this article, we will try and cover a few things about stem cells and their potential.  Types of Stem cells –  Usually, 2 types of stem cells are found in our body. One is present during the embryological stage, hence named embryonic stem cells. The other one is adult stem cells. Let’s dive in a little more.  Embryonic Stem Cells – These cells are derived from embryos grown in vitro. They caught a lot of attention as they are minimally manipulated and still in the growing stage. They are pluripotent, hence they can be modified into more than one category of cells.  Adult Stem Cells – In an average adult, every organ has certain types of progenitor cells, which gives rise to cells or tissues specific to that organ. They are multipotent cel

SAN DIEGO, July 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Global Institute of Stem Cell Therapy and Research (GIOSTAR), the worldwide leader in stem cell research, is pleased to announce the outcome of a COVID-19 patient treated using stem cells. Led by Chairman and Co-Founder Dr. Anand Srivastava, GIOSTAR received approval for the treatment under the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) “expanded access for compassionate use” program. As of July 14, 2020, there have been more than 13 million COVID-19 cases and over 500,000 deaths worldwide. Contending with a Grim Prognosis Under the direction of GIOSTAR Medical Director Dr. Prabhat Soni, a 53-year old male patient suffering from COVID-19 pneumonia was admitted to Saint Michael’s Medical Center in Newark, New Jersey, under the care of Dr. Richard Miller, MD, Chairman, Department of Pulmonary Medicine. The patient’s condition worsened over the course of the standard treatments, along with convalescent plasma therapy. He went into septic shock and his

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and it affects millions of people on the world. The disease brings about the ultimate destruction of synovial joints. For the patients, quality of life is reduced because of the loss of movement and function and, as the disease progresses, pain from the joint increase to become continuous, even occurring at rest. Underlying the disease is a loss of the normal homeostasis of the joint, generally leading to excessive catabolism relative to anabolism. The arthritic joint can, however, demonstrate apparent repair mechanism, although these often result in overactive but aberrant production of bone and cartilage in the form of osteophytes. OA was previously thought of as a wear and tear process. More recently it has been defined, not as a single condition, but rather a common complex disorder with three groups of risk factors: genetic, constitutional (aging and obesity) and local (biomechanical consequence of joint injury, joint laxi

GIOSTAR Plans to Treat COVID-19 With Stem Cells

Diabetes is a type of devastating disorder, currently affecting millions of people around the world. The disease can primarily be categorized into type 1 as well as type 2 diabetes. The former one has primarily associated with the destruction of insulin-producing beta cells. The later form of diabetes, most commonly being identified to be as type 2-diabetes is generally characterized with the acquisition of insulin resistance; a condition is often associated with reduced secretion of insulin, further leading to the progressive decline in the functional attributes of beta cells. Accordingly, researchers are actively looking forward to developing a novel therapeutic solution that can be helpful in reducing the insulin dependency of the patients; if not completely at least the progression can be stopped to the great extent. However, there has been a very little awareness about how cell replacement therapy is important in producing enough number of beta cells and minimizing insul
