Today, billions of people around the globe are suffering with orthopedic issues, and are still looking out for definitive treatment approach that will relieve them from high doses of steroidal medicines, unusual mood swings and number of other side effects. In that case, many of you might have come across the term stem cell therapy, which may have taken you to the flashback of ethical debate, featuring political leaders, discussing about legalities associated with applications of human tissue derived stem cells for therapeutic interventions; and are still wondering how does stem cell therapy work ! But the good news is that stem cell therapy today has overcome all the ethical challenges and messy embryonic debate; and has currently acknowledged being the safest treatment option fixing the root cause of concern, without any ethical hassles. Stem cells are the integral healers of our body that are destined to maneuver cellular and functional loss of the tissue, especially in ...

A 238 - pound missile gun fueled with adrenaline and a former Titan ’ s linebacker Tim Shaw is managing to get through his deadly degenerative muscular weakness . A man who had played 80 games, 96 tackles and lasted far beyond any player ’ s average career span is being very tough to ALS in his real life as well; ever since his diagnosis last year . But instead of being afflicted to the condition, he deliberately chose to tackle life ’ s adventures issues, while spreading awareness about the deadly condition . Mr . Shaw is not worried about his immediate future, neither he is thinking about that; he probably has become too busy living with ALS, realizing what god wants him to be and relying more on his instincts, strong faith and determination to keep himself moving forward, against the odds . In spite of the slurry speech and delayed motor ability; his strong will power and enthusiasm has forced him to live a normal life, similar to the one he would have had, if not diagnose wi...

Arthritis is a chronic condition, and millions of people in the world have been suffering with the same. It is all the more frustrating to know that current medical practice can offer only shots of steroidal injections and anti-inflammatory injection to subside the pain. However, it should be noted in this regard that long term exposure to harmful steroids can lead to organ failure. Arthritis is associated with chronic degeneration of weight bearing joints, and is affecting people of all age groups; although more common in people with higher age groups and obese.   It involves degeneration of connective tissue, which may lead to functional loss of joints. The ailment is more common in developed countries of the world, may be due to increasing adaptation towards junk lifestyle; in fact, in countries like USA, arthritis related degeneration has been rated to be a number one cause of disability. It should not be surprising to know that these developed countries are supporting ...

Since last decade, there has been an epidemiological transition occurring in global developed and developing countries. Some forms of diseases such as cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, metabolic disorders are widely distributed diseases, with rapid progression. While research on stem cells and their application is accelerating at a jet speed, the field is still in its developmental phase. Until recently, considering the common facilities that were offered to developed countries; research and development of stem cells was mainly concentrated in affluent parts of the world such as USA, Germany, Japan, etc. However, with the due regards to their potential; even developing countries such as India, is now actively participating in the field of stem cells treatments; with the latest innovation of new technology and more knowledge. In general as well, the demands of technological advancements, skilled medical professional and compliant facilities is more in developing countries b...

As far as kidney diseases are concerned, I think nature has been very unkind to women. Whatever may be the reason; either anatomical or physiological, global studies and estimated statistical analysis proposed by Centre of Diseased Control confirmed that women are 14% more prone to severe organ disorders as compared to their male counterparts. Many of you must be thinking that are women with chronic kidney disorders at a risk due to low survival rate ? Or like always, this time also their hormones are to be blamed! In this regard, the current write up is intended to provide information about why should women be vigilant about the well being of their kidneys. Kidneys are our inbuilt filtration devices, characterized by the removal of waste and toxins from the blood. They are as well associated with the regulation of blood pressure, electrolyte balance and in the production of red blood cells. Sufficient data is collected to confirm the fact that many women are diagnos...

Stem cells are the naïve cells of our body, with the ability to differentiate into multiple organ specific cells, upon passage through different signaling pathways. At the cellular level of development, each stem cell divides multiple times and gets differentiated into tissue specific cells, and one stem cell daughter cells. Thus, stem cells are efficient in keeping their numbers intact, and allowing generation of new tissue specific cells, which can replace dead and/or damaged cell. Stem cells are thus maintained in each organ to help in normal wear and tear of that particular organ. Stem cells are thus referred to be as the biological solution to multiple biological problems, that your body must be facing and hence can be noted as the most effective treatment, if used through proper protocol. Various clinical studies, in this regard are going on globally and have been completed successfully; to confirm their potential, safety as well as feasibility. Global Institute of Ste...

AIDP, also known to be as Acute Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy can be noted to be as the autoimmune disorder, wherein patient may suffer with progressive degeneration of sensory neurons; thus, exhibiting progressive motor and sensory weakness, which may end up in respiratory failure and death of the patient. The exact pathogenesis of the said disorder is still elusive, but the disease is characterized with immune mediated degeneration of the peripheral nerves, axonal degeneration and progressive demyelination. In this regard, a stem cell therapy has proven to be effective in establishing blood nerve barrier through differentiation into endothelial cells. The stem cell therapy can thus be effective in prohibiting leukocyte-endothelial interaction, through formation of barrier, which has been observed to be very critical to the pathogenesis of inflammatory neuropathies. With the effective regulation of immune cells, further degeneration of neurons is being minimized and...
