The critical demand for effective treatment for children suffering from autism is increased in near future. In this regard, stem cells treatment for autism is much more of the easy choice, than it was often thought to be. One of the greatest breakthroughs that these stem cells might impose is a constant reminder of body’s innate ability to heal itself in the crisis. Autism is not as such a deadly disorder, on the contrary in developing countries like India; very few people are aware of the fact that there children are suffering from this autistic. It is actually an umbrella term for wide variety of diseases ranging from mild to severe forms. Scientists have linked up the occurrence of the condition to various risk factors such as genetic abnormality, vaccine reaction, injury, exposure to heavy metals and pesticides during pregnancy and environmental allergies, etc. There are other unknown causes as well, which are yet to be confirmed. More often, it has been observed that a...

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...

Age related macular degeneration is a type of degenerative eye disorder with the rigorous impact on the mental and physical well being of the individual. Considering the rising population getting affected with the problem, it has been estimated that by the end of 2020, more than 10 million people will be affected globally, impacting a socioeconomic burden of the healthcare market. 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 ...
