Our brain is the central processing unit of our body which controls every function with the help of a network of cells known as neurons. Neurons or nerve cells communicate by sending and receiving the signals from the brain to all the parts of the body and vice versa. The brain is sectioned into different parts and each part controls specific functions of the body. There are three types of nerves in the body: Autonomic Nerves: Involuntary activities of your body such as heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and temperature regulation. Motor Nerves . Your movements and actions Sensory Nerves . Helps in the feel of pain and other sensations. Because nerves are essential to all you do, nerve pain and damage can seriously affect your quality of life. Symptoms of different nerve damage Autonomic nerve damage can lead to inability to sense chest pain, light-headedness, bladder dysfunction and sexual dysfunction Motor nerves damage may produce symptoms like weakness,

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

Hemorrhagic stroke accounts for more than 30% of all stroke that are being associated with leaked and/or ruptured blood vessels, in the brain. The pathophysiology of stroke is still not cleared, but through ongoing studies, it has been evident that lack of oxygenated blood supply towards brain, due to either ischemia i.e. blood clot or hemorrhage i.e. excessive bleeding; is associated with massive neuronal damage resulting in stroke . In this regard, researchers are still struggling to find out an optimized method to prevent or reduce the aftereffects of stroke. Probably these efforts, have led to the conclusion that stem cells can effectively offer treatment for stroke management. Stem cells are identified to be as the naïve cells of our body, with the ability to differentiate into tissue specific cells, according to the requirement and need. This exclusive potential of stem cells is being utilized by medical experts to treat various degenerative diseases, such as but not limited

The current decade is all about stem cells therapy and their applications in treating myriad of degenerative disorders, such as stroke, neurological conditions, Parkinson’s, etc. Accordingly, clinical studies analyzing feasibility of stem cell therapy have increased dramatically, evidently acknowledging it to be a promising therapy offering relief to patients, suffering with pain and chronic injuries; that too all without harmful medications and/or risky reconstructive surgeries. Stem cell therapy , is a kind of biological treatment, which uses patient’s own stem cells to allow damage repair naturally and effectively. The procedure can be very quick and only a day affair, but needs diligent after care i.e. physiotherapy, maintained diet and positive approach towards life. A data obtained from various studies, have suggested following benefits: ·         Stem cell therapy can speed up the outcome, by reducing healing time. ·         Reduced pain with complete freedom from

Stem cells are the real medical miracles, designed through the intrinsic power of cellular mechanism; in order to structure the entire cellular system of humans. The medical science has further identified their miraculous potential to cure myriad of diseases, which are currently lacking any fundamental treatment, achieving a definitive cure. Researchers are claiming the miraculous power of stem cells, through confirmation of their regenerative potential. The bench studies have evidently suggested that a jab of stem cells can be utilized to regenerate and restore lost function of your liver, a patch of recently isolated stem cells from your own body sources, like bone marrow as well as adipose tissues, etc. can repair damage associated with the beating heart, etc. One of the many such robust scientific studies have confirmed that stem cells found in the autologous sources of patients own body, can potentially restore certain cognitive as well as locomotive functions; when infused

The critical demand for effective treatment for children suffering from autism is increased in near future. In this regard, stem cells treatment for autism is much more of the easy choice, than it was often thought to be. One of the greatest breakthroughs that these stem cells might impose is a constant reminder of body’s innate ability to heal itself in the crisis. Autism is not as such a deadly disorder, on the contrary in developing countries like India; very few people are aware of the fact that there children are suffering from this autistic. It is actually an umbrella term for wide variety of diseases ranging from mild to severe forms. Scientists have linked up the occurrence of the condition to various risk factors such as genetic abnormality, vaccine reaction, injury, exposure to heavy metals and pesticides during pregnancy and environmental allergies, etc. There are other unknown causes as well, which are yet to be confirmed. More often, it has been observed that a

In the recent discovery of motor neuron diseases, scientists were able to convert cells isolated from skin, into neuronal cells without compromising their stemness . These promising findings are helpful in understanding some of the internal mechanism, that may have direct as well as indirect impact on ALS . So far, scientists could discover that stem cells play a major role in neuronal differentiation, which are being damaged in ALS . However, lot of questions still need to be answered regarding internal molecular pathways, that are forcing these differentiations to take place . Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis , or ALS is a deadly neurodegenerative condition, associated with massively damaged motor neurons . Due to this damage, signaling cascade providing information from central nervous system to muscles is being halted; leading to the neuromuscular damage . The pathophysiology of the disease is often associated with locomotary issues, progressive deterioration of involuntary

The science of regenerative medicine has come up a long way with the better finding and understanding more efficient ways to cure some of the difficult diseases such as ALS, Diabetes, etc. Stem cells treatment is a definitive approach with the potential to cure wide range of diseases. Advancements in the science have even allowed storing your stem cells for future applications, whenever such types of treatments are needed.     India is also not lagging. Over the past decade, there has been a rapid development in the active research for implementing stem cells as a kind of treatment; making it available to common sufferers. It could not be an exaggerated statement that India will sooner be a trusted destination of millions of people worldwide, who are frustrated with the expensive, painstaking conventional treatments. Stem cells are the players with the unique intelligence quotient. They can sense the body’s requirement to replace damaged or weaken cells and can regenerate f

Age related macular degeneration is a type of degenerative eye disorder with the rigorous impact on the mental and physical well being of the individual. Considering the rising population getting affected with the problem, it has been estimated that by the end of 2020, more than 10 million people will be affected globally, impacting a socioeconomic burden of the healthcare market. It is the most obvious cause of vision loss in the elderly people; forcing them to be completely dependent, if untreated for a longer period of time. As the name suggest, AMD is a progressive declining disorder of the macula; a central part of the retina. This is the primary organ responsible for vision. It has been cited from different studies that patients who are suffering with the diseases, have undergone major loss of macular photoreceptor cells such as rods and cones and supportive epithelial cells. There are full proof evidences that people who have undergone stem cells treatment with autologou

The reported neurology journal have recently published a new exciting study on safety and efficacy of stem cells based therapy for devastating diseases such as ALS. The clinical studies have confirmed that stem cells have considerably slow down the progression of neuronal damage in ALS. ALS or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is an incurable disease; involving slow and progressive degeneration of motor neurons. Brain is the central processing organ of human body. It controls and coordinates with all the other organs with the passage of information from it through spinal cord. In case of ALS, due to neuronal damage; brain will not be able to pass on the information to different muscular organs of the body. Stem cells are known to be very promising candidates for maintaining the numbers of lost neurons. Ongoing clinical studies have concluded that stem cells and their effective neuromuscular regeneration have slowed down the degradation to a considerable level. Scientists are tr

Effective treatment on debilitating conditions such as arthritis is on high demand due to their growing numbers and current unavailability. The current technical advancement is solely focusing on the use of stem cells for treating damage associated with the cartilages; the leading masterminds of arthritis. It has been strongly believed that stem cell therapy can offer effective solution to those who are suffering from the agony of lifelong pain or painful knee replacement surgery after their arthritis. Arthritis is a growing issue, associated with more than 10 million people worldwide, occurs when cartilages, a soft spongy tissue at the end of the bones wears away; causing severe pain, stiffness and at times, loss of movement. With the help of anti-inflammatory drugs, the issue can be managed symptomatically but is not advisable for a longer duration due to its variety of side effects. Surgery, on the contrary can be a costly affair, wherein patient might have to deal with issue

Chronic liver disorder is being referred to as the largest cause of death in developed countries . It has been further evident that the said organ has its own regeneration capability due to native quota of stem cells, although the organ gets severely affected due to large insults like continuous alcoholism, steroidal hormonal exposure, consumption of high fat food, etc . In this regard, through conventional medicinal perspective the only available treatment is either liver transplant or long term consumption of anti-inflammatory medicines, which can add on the possibility of opportunistic infection. Thus, scientists were looking out for the better alternative therapeutic regimen that can stop the progression of damage and restore the function back; accordingly stem cells treatments have found to be very effective and viable option. Accordingly, a recently published report has suggested that patients with liver cirrhosis are at increased risk of stroke and that to haemorrhagic

Autism is a developmental disorder associated with neuronal damage and has been linked with various accidental traumas offered to the brain, due to vaccine injury, heavy metals, toxic food administration and technical faults during deliveries. The prevalence of autism is increasing at a very faster speed, with almost 1 in 68 children reported to be autistic. Children suffering with autism spectrum disorders are suffering with range of anomalies, characterized by reduced or hampered social interaction as well as effective communication. Parents of these children may complain about their kids being hyperactive, not socially adjustable, severely disabled, always irritated and being engrossed in their own world. Conventionally, medical science is offering different types of rehabilitation to these kids, by exploring their other gifted skills, such as offering easy ways of communication through speech therapies, etc. Further clinical investigations have revealed a strong connection

This month, being a mental health awareness month; more public awareness should be emphasized about the causes of mental stress. Stress can be a common phenomenon, which can be experienced multiple times a day from many different places, like sudden death of a family member or financial loss and more often; it is just a matter of our daily hectic schedule. But most importantly, whatever may be the cause, the stress undoubtedly affects both mental as well as physical health. In some of the diseases such as diabetes , your stress can be boosted, making it more difficult to manage. There are things, that can add up to your stress level, when you are diabetic, such as constant check on your blood glucose level, check on your diet; sometimes you cannot eat, what you really wish to, which also can add up to the frustration or mental stress. Besides, unexpected swings in the blood sugar level can add it up. In general, the diabetes induced stress can be different from the depr

Exploring as well as a commercialization of stem cells for their effective utilization for therapy has been identified as the most attractive medical deal to treat many deadly, degenerative diseases; which have been ultimately noted as incurable through conventional medicine. Considerable information has so far been collected through extensive research and clinical studies for the past decade; however still lot of information is yet in a nutshell that needs to be unfolded, in order to reach this alternative therapeutic option to people. Stem cells treatments are primary focus of the science of regeneration. They are the vital cells of our body, with the capacity to multiply unlimited times, in order to maintain their number; moreover these stem cells have the ability to differentiate into cells of multiple origin that have been lost through normal wear and tear of the body. Stem cells on the contrary are the first cells to appear after fertilization during eight celled blastula

In recent year stem cells and their power of regeneration has constantly been in news because of their potential and differentiation ability to develop. These potential applications are promising for treating variety of deadly, degenerative disorders, which cannot be cured completely with conventional treatment option. These applications of stem cells are still a debatable issue. People are more sceptical, still for their success and effectiveness. Sometimes, they are equipped with wrong information about this stem cells therapy. Probably they are still not able to differentiate between adult stem cells and embryonic stem cells. Scientists have diverted their attention now to explore various different adult stem cells sources. This is the reason, why adult stem cells sources such as adipose tissues, dental pulp and bone marrow are being used very commonly without the hassles of ethical debate. These cells are supposed to be less controversial because of their easy availability

Multiple scientific journals are publishing exciting new investigations, which can relieve millions of patients suffering with devastating diseases, such as ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. In one of its recent publications, the Journal JAMA Neurology reportedly confirmed a potential of stem cells in offering successful and valid treatment against deadly neurodegenerative disease. The news has ignited spark of hope in many patients, who have been suffering with progressive, debilitating disorders. To discuss it more, people may relate severity of the disease with popular ice bucket challenge series that was been conducted couple of years ago. Thus, it is quite exciting to know that ALS research is being upgraded at a faster speed since last year or two; and lot of it has been accomplished through better understanding of underlying disease mechanism and through development of its potential cure with the help of stem cells treatment for ALS. In this regard, some of the maj

Recent clinical trial conducted by investigators of Sandford’s University has proven the efficacy and feasibility of adult stem cells from human tissues; in restoration and functional modification of chronic stroke patients. Furthermore, the trial has suggested that all stroke patients, with the recent attack between six months to three years remained conscious under general light anaesthesia. Stem cells are the natural super cells of human body, giving rise to muscles, fat, bone and tendons. Although, primary clinical investigation reported further that these stem cells don’t exhibit any tumorigenic properties by differentiating into unwanted cells and tissues. The technology has enabled easy isolation of stem cells from body’s own sources, such as bone marrow as well as adipose tissues; being isolated from body’s own sources, they did not pose any attributable side effects, neither did they link to any life threatening adverse effects, post procedure. The principal investigat
