What is ALS disease? ALS is the most common adult-onset motor neuron disease. It is characterized by both upper and lower motor neuron degeneration and has a median survival of 2–4 years.(1) ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the […]

What are Exosomes? Exosomes are membrane vesicles with a diameter of 40-100 nm, a sub-fraction of extracellular vesicles that are secreted by many cell types into the extracellular space.  Adipocytes, epithelial cells, fibroblasts, neurons, astrocytes and Schwann cells are indicate to produce these type of extracellular vesicles.  Exosomes are found in cell culture supernatants and […]

What is diabetes? Diabetes is a long-term illness that affects the way your body converts food into energy. The majority of the food you eat is converted to sugar (also known as glucose) and absorbed into your bloodstream. When your blood sugar levels rise, your pancreas is prompted to release insulin. Insulin is a key […]

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) accounts for more deaths globally than any other single disease. There are on average 1.5 million episodes of myocardial infarction (heart attack) each year in the United States alone with roughly one-third resulting in death. There is therefore a major need for developing new and effective strategies to promote cardiac repair. Intramyocardial […]

How does Stem Cell Therapy work? Stem cells have the ability to differentiate into specific cell types. The two defining characteristics of a stem cell are perpetual self-renewal and the ability to differentiate into a specialized adult cell type. There are two major classes of stem cells: pluripotent that can become any cell in the […]

Immune System boost with Stem Cell Therapy Health is important for everyone. It is the main thing that we need to tend to as human beings. Unfortunately, as years go by, due to natural laws, maintaining our health becomes more and more difficult. There comes a time when our body and immune system find it […]

Stem Cell Therapy for Lung Disease Recovery Physicians and researchers are studying mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as reparative tools for patients with chronic lung conditions. As promising results of said studies, performed in lung transplant recipients who had developed chronic lung allograft dysfunction, showed that it was safe and feasible to provide cell therapy intravenously […]
