So far, we have got to know about the positive applications of stem cell therapies, which are transplanted into the body with living cells to treat, or eliminate the disease from the patient’s body. The most common type of cell therapy is the hematopoietic stem cell therapy. Harvested from the donor’s body for the host […]
Over 50 million people suffer from arthritis in USA alone. Arthritis is a common enough disease among the elderly, which makes it difficult to even undertake the basic chores like holding a spoon, eating, and walking. Arthritis degrades the cartilage between the bone joints making it a painful and debilitating condition. Over time the body […]
We know how antibodies perform in our body to restrict the foreign invasions, so that we can protect ourselves from various illnesses caused by viruses and bacteria. Other than these usual physiological activities, they are found to have lent their hands in the development of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells by using external parameters. This, we […]
While pregnant moms have a tendency to do weird stuff like eating, doing stuff on whims but expectant mothers are always given specific instructions regarding household work. There are many chores that are not safe for to be moms. You will have to stop doing them completely. No safe limit is demarcated in lifting weights, […]
A new study has inched us closer to designing a new lung with the help of bioengineering. A team of bioengineers has successfully created a functional lung with a healthy, perfusable vasculature in an ex vivo rodent lung. End-stage lung diseases are the third leading cause of deaths around the world. It has only one […]
The bonding between babies and parents has its journey. The attachment that a child develops towards his/her parents is born out of instincts and everyday togetherness. Out of this bonding is born a sense of belonging towards each other. There are moments when an infant instantly bonds with his/her parents. And there are times when […]
There are about 2 million Americans who suffer from Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) annually. The severity of the trauma may differ from patient to patient but leads to a wide range of motor, behavioral, cognitive as well as intellectual disabilities in the patients. These disabilities may be long term or short term. TBI is a […]
How would it have been if we could develop embryoid bodies (EBs) from individual embryonic stem cells (ESCs) using technology? This could give birth to the development of the regenerative medicines and other therapies, which does not require an external supporting matrix as needed by the traditional regenerative technology to create a coordinated assembly. All […]
A recent study by the Stanford research team has concluded that the immune cells send muscle injury signal to activate stem cell regeneration. Immune cells activate cells for muscle regeneration and repair which will aid in treating muscle disorders. Studies indicate that a gene Adamts 1 gets switched on in the satellite cells. This is […]
Parents know that the growing years of a baby has its own challenges. Everyone wants the child to grow healthy, strong and fit. And when it comes to the food and vitamins intake of your baby, you’ll probably get to hear varying views from everyone you encounter. Whether it’s your new mom buddies in the […]
