According to the recent advances, stem cells generated in advance national US laboratory, in collaboration with International Space Station, have exhibited to be promising advancements in generating insulin producing beta cells, to be helpful as a potential treatment for type 1 Diabetes. Scientists are further interested in finding ways to cure silent sugar disease, through the application of regenerative science; either by producing beta cells or by creating environment through stem cells that will indirectly support the production of beta cells.   In both the cases, stem cells are identified to be as the lead players. Diabetes is a devastating, autoimmune metabolic disorder affecting millions of people in the world. It is being categorically distinguished into two major types, 1 & 2; depending upon their functional attributes. As in, type 1 diabetes is often associated with aberrant destruction of insulin producing beta cells, causing sugar molecule to accumulate in t...

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...

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 issu...

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 Cell 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...

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. For many of them, the only option seeming to be viable is to take synthetic hormonal supplements and/or drastic surgeries. However, these conventional instincts were not able to solve joint problem, additionally long term use of synthetic drugs as well as surgeries can ...

Liver related issues, like fatty liver, liver failure, liver cirrhosis etc . are noted to be growing problems and is identified to be a leading cause of death in many developed countries . Millions of people worldwide are reported to be affected with liver disorders; according to the recent investigation through world health organization, it has been estimated that this increasing number of liver issues can be associated with faulty routine, wrong eating and drinking habits, stress as well as sedentary life style . Conventional medicine defines only transplant as the ultimate option; however, increasing demand of suitably matched donor organ has created a much longer awaited wait list to get suitable donor. However, further discovery of stem cells and the science of regenerative medicine reveals the possibility of delayed progression of liver damage and restoration of loss function. Stem cells are the naïve cells of our body, with the inherent ability to differentiate into ...

Stem cells therapy is an alternative yet advanced therapeutic module for various deadly, degenerative disorders, like motor neuron diseases, multiple sclerosis, etc. Human body is made up of trillions of cells, which are working in continuous, yet synchronized manner to perform various functions of different organ. Stem cells are naïve, young cells of human body that can be extracted from as early as eight celled stage human embryo. These cells are believed to be of highest potency with the capability to differentiate into cells of various tissue origin. Studies have further suggested that at each point of development, these stem cells store reserved quota of them in various tissues, wherein they remain in dormancy for the rest of their lives. The unlimited differentiation potential of these stem cells can allow them to maintain significant number of tissue specific cells, that are being lost in the normal wear and tear of the organ; thus, involved in uninterrupted function of t...
