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: , ,
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.

The transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells is today really established as a therapy for various types of congenital or other acquired severe disorders of the hematopoietic system as well as for chemo or radiosensitive malignancies. It includes autologous and allogeneic transplants of hematopoietic stem cells from bone marrow, peripheral blood or cord blood. Donors for allogeneic transplants can be HLA identical siblings, other family members or typed unrelated volunteer donors. All have their respective place, their advantages or disadvantages.

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: , , , , , ,

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.

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.

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: , , , , , ,

Modern medical science, especially all the recent progress made in the field of cosmetic and corrective surgery has made it possible to defy your genes and look beautiful. Facelifts are a common practice that is pursued by many around the world to restore a youthful appearance. Related Article Tags: , , ,
Cord blood stem cell therapies have successfully treated many diseases and debilitating conditions. Stem cells harvested from umbilical cord blood of a newborn baby can develop into any type of organ or tissue such as liver, heart and neural cells. They can also repair tissue and organs damaged in strokes and heart attacks. Related Article Tags: , , , , , ,

Despite the miraculous potential of stem cell cord blood to treat various life-threatening diseases, the public cord blood banks are getting limited donations. Why? There are many reasons for this. The common ones are inadequate equipment, lack of awareness among people, and fund problems. However, the major reason is that cord blood donors want to save the stem cells for their own family use.

With the most pioneering science discovery, mothers are also making use of such methods for the health concern of their baby. Belinda Hunter, an Australian mother, has been successful to save the life of her baby not only once but two times. She is in fact among those several mothers of the country who are doing insurance for the baby. Related Article Tags: , , ,
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: , , , , ,
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.
