Chronic liver failure is known to be the fifth biggest killer in developed countries. Although, liver is known to be the organ with enhanced power of regeneration, a significant damage to it may lead to its permanent loss of ability; which can lead to the life threatening problem. Currently, liver transplant is the only full proof treatment; which could alter the condition. Although, in today’s scenario due to increased disease specific socioeconomic burden, even the demand of organs is so high that patients have to wait for their entire life in search of suitable organs. Liver has been offered a very much importance in performing different tasks such as removing blood toxins, digesting the food, fighting against the infection and is known to be the biggest reservoir of blood in the body. These are some of the specific reasons, why liver cirrhosis problems should be considered as a major health issue and not just a disease. There are over 100 different reasons, which can risk ou...

In this developing world, one of the leading causes of blindness is age-associated macular degeneration (AMD) and macular dystrophy. Macular degeneration can either be wet macular degeneration or dry, in nature. Although, there are some macular degeneration treatment options available out there, but there is no complete cure, especially for wet macular degeneration. However, just like other degenerative diseases, the scope of stem cell therapy has also extended to this disease as well. Researchers are now carrying out clinical tests to create tolerable as well as safe transplantation RPE (retinal pigment epithelium) derived from stem cells. These tests and studies have shown promising result, as differentiation of embryonic stem cells under controlled conditions gave 99 percent pure retinal pigment epithelium. The patients who have been tried with such stem cell therapy did not face any severe complications, such as vision loss, and have also shown improvement in the condition of ma...

Stem cells are very primitive cells found in the human body and offer very promising as well as effective treatment options for different kinds of conditions, heart diseases can be one of them. Heart issues can apparently be associated with the degeneration of skeletal myoblast and cardiomyocytes, contributing to the structural as well as functional integrity of heart. The science has been upgraded with the technology to generate new heart cells over the lost ones. The stem cells can now be isolated from some of the well known adult sources, such as fat, bone marrow, etc; further enabling their minimized ex vivo manipulation, before infusing back at the targeted site. The clinical evidences found from worldwide studies have confirmed their differentiation ability to different lineages, such as muscles cells, bone cells, etc. These stem cells have as well found to be exhibiting networking properties, supporting the formation of network of blood vessels for the improved efficienc...

Stem cells have the ability to create any kind of tissue found in human body, and this ability offer limitless avenues for medical and therapeutic applications of stem cell. Stem Cell Treatment can be the panacea for many degenerative diseases. The focus of researchers, of late, is more on diseases like type-1 diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, injury of the spinal cord, hearing and vision loss, heart stroke and even neural diseases. There is also a possibility of using Stem Cell Therapy for repairing and replacing tissues that are damaged because of some kind of injury. As far as neurological disorders such as, multiple sclerosis, stroke, and Parkinson’s disease are concerned, these result from neuron loss and loss of glial cells. Scientists have been able to develop glia and neurons with the help of stem cells in lab conditions, and this has given a push to the process of developing stem cell based transplantation therapies for all patients. Endogenous ce...

When it comes to a cure for Diabetes Treatment , it involves replacing of pancreatic beta cells, which produces insulin with islet cells or pancreas transplants. The main hurdle in this kind of Diabetes Treatment option is lack of organs. This has pushed research efforts towards finding new ways of producing beta cells from expansion of islet, islet cell-lines, as well as stem cell. Tests have been conducted using both embryonic cells and matured stem cells for creation of beta cells or else to reinstate functioning of the damaged cells. Many studies have been carried out on human embryonic cells, but it has also attracted many disagreements. Despite of the controversies surrounding human embryonic cells, these render several clinical benefits, especially when one is able to derive differentiated types of cells from them and are able to bring together functional organs. Many use another approach for Diabetes Treatment using mesenchymal cells in place of human embryonic ...

Stem cell based Beauty Treatments in Gujarat is a new concept for people over here. Although beauty treatments including cosmetic surgery, fillers, Botox, etc were offered in skin care centers and salons, but the new Stem Cell treatment for skin care is gathering a lot of interest not only in Gujarat, but the entire country, and the world as well. Recently, there are rumors that celebrities opt for Stem Cell treatment to get a younger looking skin. The degenerative process going inside our body is apparent on our body, especially on our face. Hair loss is another effect of these degenerative processes. Stem cells display an immense potential of skin regeneration as well as hair growth restoration. Presently, people have to go through surgical procedures like eyelid correction, or facelift to get a rejuvenated skin, and transplant surgery to regain lost hairs. However, if safe Stem Cell treatment is administered then these surgical processes can be doled out. Stem cell Beauty ...
