Understanding Efficacy, Safety, and the Duration of Benefits No one is able to avoid all of the physical signs of aging. First, fine lines form, then laugh lines, and crow’s feet. Eventually, deeper wrinkles appear on our faces, foreheads, and even our arms and legs. Skin loses its elasticity, age spots develop, and our bodies…
A Comprehensive research study conducted by KD Market Insights on “Regenerative Medicine Market by Product Type (Cell Therapy, Gene Therapy, Tissue Engineering, and Small Molecule & Biologic), Material (Synthetic Material, Biologically Derived Material, Genetically Engineered Material, and Pharmaceutical), and Application (Cardiovascular, Oncology, Dermatology, Musculoskeletal, Wound Healing, Ophthalmology, Neurology, and Others) – Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast,…
Regenerative medicine and stem cells are often uttered within the same breath, for good reason. In animal models, stem cells have reliably reversed brain damage from Parkinson’s disease, repaired severed spinal cords, or restored damaged tissue from diabetes, stroke, blood cancers, heart disease, or aging-related tissue damage. With the discovery of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), in which skin and…
Rachel Moore, left, is pictured with Dr. Jen Heller at Heller Healthcare in Brunswick. Moore received stem cell treatment at Heller Healthcare and has seen impressive results. For years, Rachel Moore’s life revolved around the constant pain in her knees. It was never far from her mind as it dictated most of her daily activities.…
In a recent preliminary study, scientists used stem cells to ease osteoarthritis. Although the trial was small-scale, the results are promising and will pave the way for larger studies. Osteoarthritis of the knee (KOA) occurs when the cartilage — the joint’s natural cushioning system — breaks down in the knee. Without this buffer, bones can…
Scientists who carried out a study in cell culture have demonstrated how the aging process for human adult stem cells can be reversed, opening a new avenue for therapies that could repair tissue damage linked to a wide range of diseases, authors from the Buck Institute for Research on Aging and Georgia Institute of Technology wrote…
The limited regenerative potential of the heart via cell proliferation or stem cell recruitment is insufficient to compensate for tissue loss after an acute myocardial infarction [1], [2]. Consequently, the increased workload placed on the surviving myocardium often leads to heart failure. Approximately 865,000 Americans per year suffer a myocardial infarction and nearly 4.9 million…
Ageing is associated with decreased fracture repair and reduced skeletal bone mass as a consequence of a net reduction in bone formation. This can result in osteoporosis with devastating socioeconomic consequences. As indicated, bone formation depends on MSCs present within bone marrow which in vitro give rise to CFU-F that differentiate into the osteogenic, adipogenic,…
A millionaire fashion designer living in the Bahamas has claimed he is getting younger because of stem cell treatment. Peter Nygard, a Canadian citizen born in Finland, claimed scientists were hoping to use him as an example of how stem cells could reverse the ageing process. Nygard was said to be hoping to open a…
No matter your age, when cartilage begins to wear out around your knees and become damaged, it can limit movement and cause severe pain.Now, a new technique using stem cells from donor umbilical cords could help young patients rebuild cartilage and reduce pain.For Jim Hackett, chasing after his young son Jimmy has not been easy.“I…
