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 ...
