Breathing New Life: How Stem Cells are Transforming Lung Disease Treatments

The human respiratory system faces numerous challenges nowadays. With diseases like Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), pulmonary fibrosis, and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) being major health concerns and one of the leading cause of death globally, according to WHO. Traditional treatments often focus on managing symptoms rather than addressing the underlying cause, underscoring the urgent need for innovative solutions that repair damaged lung tissue at a fundamental level. Stem Cells: A Breakthrough in Lung Repair According to the researchers from University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine (USA), Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) possess several valuable attributes that make them a...

Stem cells Therapy for Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating condition characterized by the sudden loss of sensory, motor, and autonomic function below the level of trauma. Despite significant advances in medical and surgical care, there is currently no effective treatment for the neurological deficits associated with major spinal cord injury. Current treatments primarily focus on surgical decompression and stabilization, preventing secondary complications, managing any that occur, and rehabilitation. Unfortunately, neurological recovery is often limited, leaving many SCI patients with substantial dysfunction and lifelong disability. Epidemiology and Etiology of spinal cord injury Worldwide, the annual incidence of spinal cord injury ranges from 15...

Healing from Within: Stem Cell Therapy for Diabetes

Diabetes, characterized by chronic hyperglycemia due to insulin resistance or inadequate insulin production, remains a significant global health challenge. According to the IDF Diabetic Atlas, for every 5 seconds past, 1 person dies because of diabetes. In individuals with diabetes, elevated blood glucose levels are managed using a combination of insulin injections, daily oral hypoglycemic medications, exercise, and dietary modifications. However, while these traditional treatment methods strive to control insulin levels, they are not always effective, potentially leading to severe hypoglycemia and difficulties in adhering to treatment regimens. Also, they do not address the underlying causes and might come with...

What are the stem cells that are garnering much attention today? – An in-depth look at their functions

You may have heard the term ‘stem cells’ as they are used in regenerative medicine. Still, most of you probably do not know their specific functions.   In this article, we will take an in-depth look at the functions and types of stem cells. What are stem cells?   Stem cells are cells that can differentiate into various tissue and organs such as blood, nerves, and epidermis.   Many cells making up our body are repeatedly undergoing birth and death to keep us alive. For this mechanism, stem cells play a role in regenerating and replenishing cells that are lost....
