Umbilical cord blood transplant saving lives from deadly diseases

Cancer, which was supposed to be an incurable disease now, can be cured if detected at the right time. The rapid advancement of science and medicine has opened wide vistas before us for the treatment of deadly diseases like AIDS, Neurotic diseases and genetic disorders.
In many cases, your doctor may suggest a stem cell [...]

Adult Stem cells for treatment of cardiac patients

It has been proven through an FDA-approved clinical trial that treating heart attack patients with adult stem cells is safe and seems to repair damaged heart tissue. The results of this study, which was conducted by Joshua M. Hare, M.D. and director of the Interdisciplinary Stem Cell Institute at the University of Miami Miller [...]

Adult Stem Cells In Anti Aging Skin Care Products

Major steps forward occur in every industry with revolutionary product development the backbone of corporate survival in many cases. The anti aging skin care business is the next industry to utilize modern technology, in this case, clinical biotechnology, to advance more effective and rapid results. Stem cell technology is riding the wave of progression into [...]

Stem Cell Treatment for Leukemia Patients

Leukemia patients who receive stem cell transplants from the umbilical cord blood of newborns are usually vulnerable to life-threatening infections for at least a month as their immune systems recover.
Now researchers from Seattle’s Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center may have found a way to dramatically shorten this recovery period and reduce infection-related deaths.
In a small, early [...]

Umbilical Cord Blood saving lives of Cancer patient

Scientist have made a major breakthrough in cancer treatment, when doctors used the umbilical cord blood of a new born to save the life of cancer patients.
The umbilical-cord-blood treatment could make a huge difference in the way that several types of cancer are treated worldwide. Cancer treatments using these transplants have been successful in treating [...]

Placenta Stem Cell Treatment for Kawasaki Syndrome

Scientists have known for many years that stem cells restore the body’s health by targeting sites of injury and disease, clearing toxins from threatened tissue, and replacing dead and dying cells. In a 2004 study, Dr. Evan Snyder, a stem cell biologist at the Burnham Institute in La Jolla, California, reported that stem cells transplanted [...]

Now Stem Cell Treatment Available in Mexico

While US researchers and politicians debate the potential of stem cells, people in Mexico are actually being treated and healed with placental stem cell treatments that have been clinically tested by over 2,000 patients with a variety of conditions and disorders.
Thanks to International Stem Cell Institute (ISCI), there’s no need to wait until the [...]

“Master cells” taken from umbilical cords hopes lifted

It is hoped that “master cells” taken from umbilical cords could be used on any patient without rejection.
The current system of bone marrow transplantation helps patients who have diseases, such as leukaemia, which affect the stem cells in their bone marrow where new blood cells are grown.
“The holy grail is to have an “off the [...]

STEM CELL THERAPY TREATED PATIENTS (INCLUDING CHILDREN)

Patients (including children) are treated successfully with seizure disorders, problems with the circulatory system, and immune deficiency.
Jett Travolta, the 16-year-old son of John Travolta and Kelly Preston died on January 2. An autopsy report identified the cause of death as the result of a seizure. The public is yet to know what might have caused [...]

Stem Cell Therapy restoring the body functions

Every cell in the body “stems” from a particular “cell”. They can be classified into 3 broad categories, based on their ability to differentiate.
Totipotent Stem Cells:
These are found in early embryos and it is found that each cell can form a complete organism, like identical twins.
Pluripotent Stem Cells:
These are found in inner cell [...]
