Stem Cell Treatment is based on the use of stem cells for treating different diseases. In this kind of treatment, specialized cells that have the ability to renew themselves by cell division are used. These cells can also differentiate to create multi-lineage stem cells. Primarily, stem cells falls under the categories of ESCs (embryonic stem cells), adult cells, and iPSCs (induced pluripotent cells). Out of these Mesenchymal cells have been attracting attention, as human mesenchymal cells are multipotent cells and non hematopoietic and features the ability of differentiating, which leads to the creation of mesodermal lineage like adipocytes, osteocytes, as well as chondrocytes and hepatocytes. For the very first time, human mesenchymal cells were found in bone marrow, and at present researchers have been able to derive these cells from different tissues including amniotic fluid, dental tissues, adipose tissues, endometrium, and even umbilical cord. Researchers are now also able...

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...

With the efforts of scientists we have experienced many scientific breakthroughs, and the discovery of stem cells and its potential of curing degenerative diseases is one such great breakthrough for human race. Scientists have been working hard to understand the main reason behind diabetes, so that they can come up with an effective Diabetes Treatment . However, the only available treatment options for diabetic patients are able to control the symptoms and effects of the disease, but cannot reverse or cure the disease fully. Due to the complicated genetics of diabetes, especially type-1, it is hard to develop a complete Diabetes Treatment . In the last ten years stem cell biology has developed drastically and these developments have opened up new avenues of studying the potential and biology of stem cells. Scientists are working towards the use of tissue engineering techniques to reprogram skin cells from a specific patient and change it to cells that are similar to embryonic...

Glaucoma is considered to be the most common degenerative eye condition, associated with the pressure build up inside the eye. If ignored for a longer time, it can give rise to more dangerous condition associated with visual loss and blindness. Worldwide, it has been identified as the second leading cause of blindness, with people of any age can be affected by the condition. Various clinical studies have confirmed the potential of stem cells therapy in halting the progression of degeneration and in improving visual acuity of the affected individuals. In other segment of studies, wherein scientists confirmed the safety as well as feasibility of stem cells therapy evidently observed no signs of any other opportunistic infections or rejection by the body. Moreover, approximately 80% of the patients reported improved blood circulation through new vessels formation; thus confirming stem cells ability of angiogenesis, whereas rest 20% of the patients showed no sign of any adverse react...

Osteoarthritis affects millions of people around the world. It occurs because of cartilage loss, and affects shock absorption and cushioning ability of the long bones. Osteoarthritis is not just painful, but it also leads to physical impairment. At present, no available treatment option is effective enough to obstruct its progression, so patients usually have to go through surgery for complete joint replacement. What might change the scene completely is the use of stem cells for Osteoarthritis Treatment . Stem Cell Therapy involves several different techniques to extract and transplant stem cells into a patient. However, in the case of osteoarthritis, researchers are focusing more on a non-surgical procedure, which involves stem cells of the patients, who are being treated, and then these stem cells are injected back into the patient.  If done in the right manner, then this might aid in repairing the damaged tissues, boosting the healing process, as well as in reducing p...
