Can Stem Cell Therapy Cure Kidney Failure?


Kidneys being one of the vital organ of our metabolic system, we cannot afford to make them nonfunctional, due chronic kidney disorders. As we all know, in some of the developed countries, on the go life style has forced many people to be suffering with life threatening disorders, such as heart attack, high blood pressure and chronic diabetes can have major impact on normal functioning of our kidneys. In this regard, although demand for kidney transplant is increasing across the globe, there is still a scarcity of suitable donated organs to fulfill this growing demand.

In such scenario, stem cell therapy can be helpful in offering alternative therapeutic solution to people with kidney disorders. In the studies related to further analysis of number of cells involved in kidney functioning, it has been evident that a type of cell identified to be renal progenitor cells is responsible for structuration of nephrons, that are primary responsible for proper kidney functioning.
Stem cells are characterized with their ability to differentiate into multiple tissue specific cells, including renal progenitor cells of nephrons. Further research in the area has suggested that some of the resident stem cells found near the area of nephrons are similar in characteristic as that of bone marrow stem cells. In the case of diseased condition, the number of stem cells is not sufficient to make up the number of lost or degenerated cells. Thus, isolation of stem cells from autologous sources such as, bone marrow and adipose tissues can be effective in restoring function of lost nephrons, leading towards the effective cure.

Global Institute of Stem Cell Therapy and Research can be noted as the premium institute, facilitating stem cell research and its therapeutic applications, headquartered in San Diego, California (USA); and is progressing at a faster pace with the vision to provide effective solution to various degenerative diseases. We have mastered our technology in isolating stem cells from autologous tissue sources, enriching them in the laboratory and infusion back at the site of injury.

The meaningful research on various facets of regenerative medicines that has been carried out at GIOSTAR  has indeed been documented in various prestigious journals.

Stem Cells Treatment For Osteoarthritis Dream Come True of Pain Free Life

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.

MOTOR NEURON DISEASE: THE MISSING LABYRINTH

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis , also commonly known as the motor neuron disease or Lou Gehrig’s disease is a fatal neurological ailment, associated with progressive muscular atrophy, weakness and functional loss. Facts you should know about ALS It is estimated that at any given point of time, 1-10 out of 100000 people can be affected by ALS; and each day 15 new cases are being diagnosed. Statistics has suggested that after about every 90 minutes someone is being diagnosed with ALS. According to the database shared by ALS care, 93% of ALS patients are of Caucasian origin; and the average life expectancy of people with ALS is between 2-4 years, post diagnosis. Early diagnosis of ALS is quite tricky due to common initial symptoms and it may possibly take a year of so for the confirmed diagnosis of ALS. Studies have confirmed that individuals suffering with ALS tend to lose their strength and ability to move their arms, legs and bodies. Eventually the person has to b

Osteoarthritis , commonly known as the degenerative joint disorder is a group of abnormalities related to the degeneration of all the major joints present in the human body. To date, more than 10 million people are suffering from the disorders, irrespective of their age and gender; the hardest sufferers being people above age 60. More technically, the disease has been divided into primary osteoarthritis, that is linked with the genetic factors and secondary osteoarthritis that can be linked up with the deformity, accidents or injuries. Symptoms associated with the conditions can be joint pain, tenderness, stiffness, etc. Osteoarthritis is an inflammatory condition of the weight bearing joints such as knee, wherein the protective cushions of the bones known to be cartilages are deteriorated due to their overuse. This in turn can expose bones to the outer shock and irritation; causing them to be swollen, painful and tender. There are no specific treatments available so far, w
