Future of Stem Cell Treatment And Expectations in India

Not only patients believe that stem cells can change their life, but physicians in general also believe that stem cell treatment is the future of science and medicine. The trials and tests and their results shows a significant growth in the understanding of stem cell science, origin, functionality of cells, etc. More the researchers gather information about stem cells, more will be the chances of stem cell treatment replacing traditional drugs in the time to come. Some, scientists and researchers although indicates that stem cells does not match with the conventional medicine business model, as these keep on replicating inside human body. However, majority of healthcare providers are of the view that stem cell therapy can emerge more elastic and powerful than people imagine.

Some believe that stemcells can be used in future for developing tissues and medicines for specific patients, in lab conditions. However, the question is how can one benefit from using stem cells in therapeutic and clinical practice. Presently, the common method of extracting stem cells is through taking blood from the patient’s bone marrow, or taking fat through liposuction. These methods are invasive and are not successful in deriving pluripotent cells. These are mostly used for extracting mesenchymal cells, which are used for stem cell therapy to treat orthopedic and cardiovascular conditions.

Fortunately, now there are feasible means to acquire pluripotent cells, just through drawing of blood. Studies have proved the presence of stemcells in blood, and other trials have also shown that these cells can be used for regenerating heart tissues, lung, brain, and even tissues of the pancreas. In recent years, clinical protocols have been developed to control harvesting, reconstituting, concentrating, and even administering of cells, which derived from patient’s autologous blood.

In recent times, there have many successful cases of patients receiving stem cells and showing improvement in their condition, but still the use and application of stem cell therapy for clinical purpose is in its beginning phase only. Researchers are still working hard to find out ways through which pluripotent cells can be more safely and effectively used for practice. Once scientist find the most suitable source for extracting stemcell and techniques to attract stem cells to the area where they are required to facilitate differentiation, then stem cell therapy will reach another level of success.


Some of the other fields associated with stemcells and treatment using cells that are expected to grow in future include tissue engineering, banking of stem cell that have unspoiled DNA at the time of birth and then turning them into dosage for the future, and clinical use of mesenchymal cells for treating many other diseases, which had no effective treatment options in the past.

Stem Cells Treatment For Osteoarthritis Dream Come True of Pain Free Life

In recent years the science and technology has been working in collaboration to welcome state of the art alternative treatment for conventional medical practices; which are not been able to treat many diseases, such as diabetes, neurological indications as well as arthritis. Recently with the FDA approval announcement for stem cells therapy and their applications for arthritic issue; the innovative therapy can be applied in the treatment of various degenerative conditions such as degenerative arthritis, tendonitis, as well as many ligament diseases. Many people now days, are suffering with dangerous diseases like arthritis, joint pain, injuries, etc; adding more disturbances to the day to day functioning of life. For many of them, the only option seeming to be viable is to take synthetic hormonal supplements and/or drastic surgeries. However, these conventional instincts were not able to solve joint problem, additionally long term use of synthetic drugs as well as surgeries can ...

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...

Stem Cells Treatment A Perfect Remedy For Osteoarthritis

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...
