Cardiac Stem Cell Therapy Heart failure is the leading cause of death worldwide, and current therapies only delay progression of the disease. Laboratory experiments and recent clinical trials suggest that cell-based therapies can improve cardiac function, and the implications of this for cardiac regeneration are causing great excitement. Bone-marrow-derived progenitor cells and other progenitor cells [...]
Adult Stem Cell Therapy
Heart Disease and Congestive heart failure is recognized as one of the fastest growing cardiovascular disorders in the world. Cardiac stem cell therapy is a novel, promising method for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Many previous studies demonstrated the beneficial effects of stem cells on left ventricular function after acute or chronic ischemic injury. The [...]
Cardiac stem cell therapy is emerging as a potential novel treatment for patients with heart disease. It is an innovative and promising therapeutic approach for heart failure. Experimental studies and clinical trials have shown that stem cell transplantation can achieve certain degrees of success in enhancing myocardial perfusion, repair or regeneration, leading to improvement of [...]
When explained to a layman in an easy language, a stem cell can be defined as a cell which is yet to be assigned to a job. That is, its final role is not yet known till now. Interestingly it can be very safely said that all cells in the body arise from stem cells [...]
Stem cell’s have not only managed to revolutionaries the medical fraternity but has also bought with it a huge business opportunity. The global market for stem cell technology is valued at several hundred billion dollars and the amount is only going to grow in the coming years. There are two types of stem cells; embryonic [...]
