Study Shows Improvement From Placenta Stem Cell Injections for Knee Osteoarthritis
As the world population ages, osteoarthritis (OA), a degenerative, “wear-and-tear” form of arthritis which most often occurs during middle age and onwards,[1] becomes more common and therefore more burdensome. Knee osteoarthritis, in particular, is a major cause of...
Cord Blood Stem Cell Treatment Offers Superior Results for Knee Osteoarthritis, Study Finds
Osteoarthritis, a chronic degenerative joint disease, affects millions of people worldwide and is a leading cause of disability.[1][2] Currently available treatments can offer relief from pain and other symptoms. However, they fail to address the root of the disease,...
Combination Therapy Using Umbilical Cord Stem Cells Could Be Key to Treating Spinal Cord Injuries
A new study on the effectiveness of treatment for spinal cord injuries indicates that a combination therapy, including epidural electrical stimulation (EES) as well as neural stem cells and umbilical cord stem cells, could offer better results than any one treatment...
Tom Curry Undergoes Stem Cell Therapy
England flanker Tom Curry is undergoing stem cell therapy as a follow-up to last year’s career-saving surgery.[1] Suffering from chronic hip pain and reduced range of motion, Curry was diagnosed with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome, where the ball of the hip...
Growing Cartilage Using Stem Cells and 3D Printing
Researchers at Vienna University of Technology have taken an important step in making lab-grown cartilage a possibility by utilizing a new technique involving 3D printing and stem cells. [1] The process involves a high-resolution 3D printing process to create small,...
