Stem cells have identified to be the mighty cells of multicellular organisms, with the ability to differentiate into multiple organs specific cells. They are the first cell to be found after the formation of zygote and are divided multiple times to give rise to an entire cellular system. The medical science has started exploiting this tremendous potential of stem cells to treat various diseases, which have so far, no cure through conventional medicine. Research has suggested that the loss of tissue specific cells is the fundamental issue for many degenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disorder, arthritis , etc. Studies have evidently confirmed that many times, the damage is progressive, assuring no conventional treatment to fix the damage. However, stem cells being a natural component of our cellular system, have been proven as an excellent support system to make over the loss. So far, worldwide clinical studies have been completed to cater to t...

It will not be an exaggerated statement to declare that more than 3 million children are suffering with one of the several forms of arthritis, only in developed countries. As a matter of fact, amongst many identified forms, Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis is the most common form, that is bothering children below 16 years of age. It is generally referred as the spontaneous exhibition of arthritic pain without any known or unknown cause. The Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis is an autoimmune disorder, which triggers inflammation in synovial lining of affected joints. The exact antibodies that have been directed against the destruction of this synovial lining as a self are still a matter of debate, but the disorder has more obvious environmental linkups than genetic predisposition. Some of the common signs and symptoms of JIA can be featured as: ·          Sudden observation of red, inflamed and painful joints ·    ...

The therapeutic applications of stem cells in treating a variety of orthopedic conditions are relatively novel and exciting approach ! What are stem cells and are they useful is orthopedic stem cell therapy? Undifferentiated cells that are able to differentiate into specialized cell types are Stem cells. Stem cells come from blood, bone marrow, umbilical cord blood and adipose tissue. Orthopedic Stem-cell therapy is the use of stem cells to treat an injury or prevent an orthopedic disease or condition. These can be acute or chronic injuries of muscle, tendon, ligaments, bone deformities, cartilage like arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or can be diseases like osteoporosis. What are all orthopedic conditions cured using Stem Cells? Various conditions and injuries can be treated using orthopedic stem cell therapy moreover; a lot of research investigations are being done worldwide to maximize the use of stem ce...
