Repairing bone is important to people who suffer bone trauma or experience a loss of bone from disease. One of the ways in which researchers want to help is by finding uses for stem cells in bone repair. Choosing a Stem Cell Source While many sources of adult stem cells …
Possibly the most exciting use of stem cells rests on their ability to differentiate into an enormous range of healthy functioning adult cells, thereby providing a replacement source of cells to treat serious diseases. This ultimately means that virtually any disease that results in cellular and tissue destruction can potentially …
Cancer afflicts millions around the world each year and many go through treatment only to relapse years later. Others die from the disease and often after a great deal of suffering. It’s no surprise that cancer research is at the forefront for current medical studies. In particular stem cells are …
There are many different reasons to find ways to create sperm from stem cells – one of these is to help infertile couples have children. It’s an enormous field of work and thus far, it’s looking as though stem cells may end up providing one answer to this problem. New …
One of the biggest setbacks to stem cell research is that it can potentially trigger one of the diseases that we hope it will eventually treat one day – cancer. Because stem cells have the ability to rapidly grow and differentiate into specialised cells that can heal damaged organs and …
Brain damage that results from stroke is an enormous challenge to address for people around the world. That’s why research into stem cell therapies for stroke victims is so vital to reduce the devastating effects of stroke on its victims. Stem Cell Study A new study is set to go …
Stem cells have been touted as the treatment of the future for many diseases but perhaps surprisingly, they have also made the news recently for their ability to rebuild areas of the body that have suffered from tissue destruction. These types of procedures have previously been difficult and unsuccessful ones, …
Breast implants have been a subject of controversy for decades, from the silicone implants that were originally used to the saline and cohesive silicone implants of today. Complications abound and many women end up having additional surgeries to fix complications from their breast augmentation. Using Stem Cells Now, a new …
We already know that stem cells have enormous potential for treating some of the world’s most devastating diseases but fine-tuning these therapies, overcoming challenges and completing many more clinical trials to ensure their efficacy must still be done before these treatments can become a reality. Drugs Hold a Key Drugs …
Stem Cells From Skin Cells The topic of stem cells is an area that has received a lot of press and media attention during the past few years. Most people do not understand the subject very well and can become confused at all of the developments as they can seem …
