According to the recent advances, stem cells generated in advance national US laboratory, in collaboration with International Space Station, have exhibited to be promising advancements in generating insulin producing beta cells, to be helpful as a potential treatment for type 1 Diabetes. Scientists are further interested in finding ways to cure silent sugar disease, through the application of regenerative science; either by producing beta cells or by creating environment through stem cells that will indirectly support the production of beta cells.   In both the cases, stem cells are identified to be as the lead players. Diabetes is a devastating, autoimmune metabolic disorder affecting millions of people in the world. It is being categorically distinguished into two major types, 1 & 2; depending upon their functional attributes. As in, type 1 diabetes is often associated with aberrant destruction of insulin producing beta cells, causing sugar molecule to accumulate in t...

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...
