The effectiveness of Stem Cell Therapy in ALS Treatment

ALS or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is a neurological ailment with progressive symptoms like weakening of muscles. Progression of this disease can take place over a number of years, and the outcome of the disease is usually fatal. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis happens because of degeneration of neurons present in motor cortex area of human brain. This part of the brain controls voluntary movements of the body. At times, external shock or excessive generation of protein flakes or even genetic mutation might be the reason behind degeneration of neurons. Due to this degeneration, the ability of the neurons of passing signals from the brain to the muscles is hampered. The traditional ALS Treatment options have displayed severe inconsistencies, like respiratory failure or dysphasia. Stem cell research has thrown light on a potential ALS Treatment , which can change the fate of ALS patients. In Stem Cell Therapy , researchers extract stem cells, mostly from the patients themselve

What Stem Cell Therapy has in store for Stroke Treatment

Several tests are underway to test the efficacy and safety of using Stem Cell Therapy for Stroke Treatment , and the result of most of these tests have raised hopes of both patients and doctors. The way research in this field is expanding, very soon the trials will turn into actual treatment available in hospitals. Doctors are primarily concerned about the side effects of injecting stem cells into a patient. However, a number of people who have gone through such Stroke Treatment have witnessed improvement in their body functions. Researchers are testing the treatment on patients who have gone through enough rehabilitation and physical therapy to improve their movement, but have not gained completely from the therapy. Stroke occurs because of blockage in blood vessels, that cuts off supply of oxygen to brain and damage many parts of the brain. This further leads to complications such as difficulty in walking, standing, using arms, speaking, etc. drugs are available, which ca

The future of Arthritis Treatment with Stem Cells

Stem Cell Therapy , which includes regenerative injections, is the future of regenerative medicine for patients suffering from reduced motion or pain because of hand or basal join arthritis. Stem Cell Therapy has also shown potential of healing rheumatoid arthritis, which is an autoimmune ailment. Of late, researchers have come across the suppressive ability of mesenchymal cells, which were able to restrain T-cell as well as inflammatory responses. This directly benefits those who suffer from such autoimmune disease. Researchers are also studying the effectiveness of using mesenchymal cells derived from human adipose its therapeutic application for treating arthritis stimulated by collagen. Tests has shown that mesenchymal cells can aid in preventing as well as treating arthritis induced by collagen by lessening the severity of the disease and cutting down the incidence of the ailment. In humans, especially adults, mesenchymal cells originates in vivo and they are characterized
