Present State of Stem Cell Treatment Development And Research

It has been quite some time that stem cells have been around and whether it is the hopes, the promises, the controversies, they have been a part of all. Different degenerative diseases have been the main reason behind rising mortality rates across the globe, and Stem Cell Treatment have provided therapeutic options, which was the need of the hour.

As far as regenerative medicine is concerned, stem cells have proved to be an ideal choice for treating injuries and diseases associated with the nervous system. This has been a great leap forward, as until now there were no efficient treatment options available for such diseases.

From neurodegenerative diseases, to injury to the spinal cord, diseases affecting vision, skin burns, and many other diseases, including cancer, trials and tests conducted to test efficiency of Stem Cell Therapy for such diseases have shown positive results. The principle as well as the proof is that damaged cells are replaced with new cells so that functions lost can be restored and this is done by transplanting stem cells.


The power of Stem Cell Treatment has grown further with the finding of induced pluripotent cells that are extracted from fibroblasts. These cells have proved to be effective in treatment of different neurodegenerative diseases like ALS, Spinal muscular atrophy, and even Parkinson’s disease.

Other than hematopoietic cell transplants Stem Cell Treatment for many other diseases are in the experimental stage. However, from the time when embryonic cell was first isolated and when the first trial was conducted there has been a very rapid development in Stem Cell Therapy research and uses. After years of investigating the therapeutic potential of Stem Cell Treatment, it has been administered in a number of places, and has even shown good signs after the treatment has been done.

In the time to come a number of therapies will be available at clinics for genetic disorders, diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular ailments, etc. The main challenge in clinical application and commercial feasibility of Stem Cell Therapy is the complexity in ascertaining cost effectiveness and clinical utility of Stem Cell Treatment. One of the biggest problems with development of Stem Cell Therapy is the strict framework that regulates such therapies.

Presently, steps are being taken to address the need of revised regulations that control development of Stem Cell Therapy and other strategic plans associated with stem cell research and development.

Efficacy and safety, like always, have been the main concern when it comes to application of Stem Cell Therapy, and protocols to regulate different cell based therapies are needed for individualized therapies, as every therapy is different from the other depending on the condition and needs of the patient. With better technology and better regulations Stem Cell Therapy is ready to touch new heights.

MOTOR NEURON DISEASE: THE MISSING LABYRINTH

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis , also commonly known as the motor neuron disease or Lou Gehrig’s disease is a fatal neurological ailment, associated with progressive muscular atrophy, weakness and functional loss. Facts you should know about ALS It is estimated that at any given point of time, 1-10 out of 100000 people can be affected by ALS; and each day 15 new cases are being diagnosed. Statistics has suggested that after about every 90 minutes someone is being diagnosed with ALS. According to the database shared by ALS care, 93% of ALS patients are of Caucasian origin; and the average life expectancy of people with ALS is between 2-4 years, post diagnosis. Early diagnosis of ALS is quite tricky due to common initial symptoms and it may possibly take a year of so for the confirmed diagnosis of ALS. Studies have confirmed that individuals suffering with ALS tend to lose their strength and ability to move their arms, legs and bodies. Eventually the person has to b

Osteoarthritis , commonly known as the degenerative joint disorder is a group of abnormalities related to the degeneration of all the major joints present in the human body. To date, more than 10 million people are suffering from the disorders, irrespective of their age and gender; the hardest sufferers being people above age 60. More technically, the disease has been divided into primary osteoarthritis, that is linked with the genetic factors and secondary osteoarthritis that can be linked up with the deformity, accidents or injuries. Symptoms associated with the conditions can be joint pain, tenderness, stiffness, etc. Osteoarthritis is an inflammatory condition of the weight bearing joints such as knee, wherein the protective cushions of the bones known to be cartilages are deteriorated due to their overuse. This in turn can expose bones to the outer shock and irritation; causing them to be swollen, painful and tender. There are no specific treatments available so far, w
