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 ca...
