The European Heart Journal recently published results from a study showing stem cells from damaged heart tissue can be used to create new, healthy heart tissue, creating the possibility of using stem cells to treat not only heart disease but also cancer. Continue reading
Brynn was an avid hockey player until the deterioration of her muscles made it impossible for her to play any longer. Diagnosed at the young age of 12 years old with the inheritable muscle disease Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (also called Landouzy-Déjérine disease, FSH or FSHD), Brynn has suffered gradual progressive weakness and loss of skeletal muscles with no sign of reversal or relief – until now. After initial success with an adult stem cell treatment for her muscular dystrophy, Brynn recently received her second dose and her condition continues to improve. Continue reading
New adult stem cell research is showing just how much potential stem cells have to rejuvenate all areas of the body. A recently published adult stem cell research study from the scientists at Lund University in Sweden reports that there is a previously undiscovered type of stem cell present in the adult brain. Lund University scientists believe that further research will show whether these cells can be used to repair damage in the brain, such as that caused by disease or even simple aging. Continue reading
Rolando McClain, middle linebacker for the Oakland Raiders, was the number 8 overall pick in the 2010 draft, but in his rookie season he wasn’t the all-star player that his drafting stats suggested he might be. Early in his career, McClain had suffered an injury to his knee and had a high ankle sprain that may have been impacting his play. After traditional therapies for his injuries failed to yield any improvement, McClain turned to adult stem cell treatment as a solution. Continue reading
It’s been not quite a year since Barbara received her stem cell treatment for Parkinson’s disease, and she couldn’t be happier. At the time of her treatment, in her own words, she “was desperate for anything!” Continue reading
Last month, the Obama administration announced that the President will increase funding for Alzheimer’s research by $50 million this year and $80 million for next year. This additional funding goes towards supporting new research, such as stem cell treatments, that could lead to improved methods of early diagnosis and more effective therapies. Continue reading
The human body is made up of billions of cells, all constantly changing, dying or being destroyed with new ones forming just as quickly. In addition, there are hundreds of types of cells, such as blood, brain, heart, liver, nerve, bone, etc. And then there are stem cells. 1. StemGenex Only Works With Physicians Who Use Adult Stem Cells Stem cells are often divided into two different categories: embryonic and adult. Embryonic stem cells are extracted … Continue reading
