South American destinations such as Mexico, Ecuador, Argentina and Brazil are joining stem cell research communities around the world in seeking stem cell therapies and treatments for conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's disease. Related Article Tags: , ,
Stem cells and stem cell research have long been studied to help provide relief of symptoms and potential cures for neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease. The use of adult stem cell therapy has grown in popularity, surpassing even traditional embryonic stem cell research methodology is. Autologous stem cells are those harvested from individual patients suffering from a disease process such as Parkinson's, which do not carry with them the risk of rejection, as do organs or cells transplanted from other individuals into that patient.

A stem cell is a primitive type of cell that can be coaxed into developing into most of the 220 types of cells found in the human body. Related Article Tags: , , , , , ,
The stem cell controversy has ruffled the Congress, State Legislatures, President Bush, and the whole of United Nations. It has resulted in the proposal of new guidelines for stem cell research by the National Academy of Sciences, which is a non-profit group and an advisor to the government.

Researchers at the University of Minnesota have been able to differentiate cord blood cells into a type of lung cell. These cells help to repair the airway in lungs after injury. This is a significant discovery because until now the use of brain stem cells was the only way to conduct viable research of this type. Related Article Tags: , , , , ,
Recent stem cell research has ushered in a silent revolution in the field of cosmetic surgery. It has made plastic surgery a more accurate and effective science, and has also made its side-effects fewer. One of the most significant improvements has been made in the level of customer satisfaction. Earlier, cosmetic surgery often left behind marks of the procedure that were very distressful for most patients. With stem cell plastic surgery, the incidence of such stigmata is rare.

A team of South Korean researchers, headed by Prof. Kang Kyung-sun of Seoul National University, has successfully grown pancreatic beta cells from umbilical cord blood stem cells of newborn babies. The stem cells are able to secrete insulin, the hormone necessary for treatment of diabetes. Related Article Tags: , , , , ,
The main research revolving around adult stem cells is that they have the ability to divide and self-renew indefinitely. This means that with the right research, adult stem cells could be used for all sorts of things. They are already more than valuable in research, particularly those which have cures that seem to be far away and hard to find. The adult stem cell, which has the ability to become any other type of cell in the body, might just be the greatest link between what is known about the human body, and what is not – and it might be the thing that helps researchers create a better life for all.
Cord blood, also known as placental blood, is the blood that remains in umbilical cord and placenta following a live birth. There are 3 sources of stem cells: umbilical cord blood, embryonic cells and bone marrow. Adult stem cells from bone marrow have limited uses while embryonic stem cell research is a major area of controversy. Related Article Tags: , , , , , ,
Cord blood stem cells are commonly used to treat childhood leukemia. In recent years, adults with leukemia have been successfully treated with transplantation of cord blood stem cells from unrelated donors. One case is that of Stephen Sprague who was diagnosed with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) in 1995. Related Article Tags: , , , , , ,
The search for eternal youth and beauty has reached back thousands of years and is likely to continue. In the past, cosmetic companies have looked to plants and flowers as the basis for a variety of cosmetic products. In recent years, cosmetic and plastic surgeons have relied on surgical techniques to slow and reverse the aging process - for a time. However, the future holds unknown opportunities in anti-aging technologies because the development of stem cell research in anti-aging techniques and procedures. Related Article Tags: , , ,
One of the most striking observations in the study of human physiology is the dependence of human life on the brain, or the master controller. The brain receives approximately 1200 ml of blood/minute and draws nearly 20 per cent of the total energy. Related Article Tags: , ,

Retinitis pigmentosa is an inherited disease that causes slow degenerative blindness. Basically, essential retinal cells accumulate defects due to one or more of the mutated genes. It is currently incurable, but life science research utilizing stems cells is making headway. It purports to use properly formed retinal cells to treat the condition. Stem cells, usually embryonic, are undifferentiated cells that have the potential to become any cell in the body. When they are injected into the affected tissue, in this case, retinal tissue, the surrounding cells direct the stem cells to develop into the correct cell type. Related Article Tags: , , , ,
