Cardiac stem cell therapy is a field of scientific research with the goal to translate into clinical benefit the initial findings obtained in basic research laboratories. Certain types of cardiac cells are targeted in stem cell therapy that is known to respond well to growth in a laboratory. A major goal of this therapy is [...]

Review On Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy Mesenchymal stem cells are a great therapeutic cell source because they are easy accessible and can be expanded from patients or donor mesenchymal tissues without posing serious ethical and technical problems. They have trophic effects for protecting damaged tissues as well as differentiation ability to generate a broad spectrum [...]

Autologous cell therapy is a new type of orthopedic treatment for tendons, ligaments, cartilage, muscle, and bone. It is a state-of-the-art procedure that uses an individual’s cells to facilitate a level of healing in tendons, ligaments, cartilage, muscle, and bone that the body would not be able to do on its own. Its role in [...]

There are three major types of stem cells used in clinical research. The first are embryonic stem cells (ESCs). They have the greatest capacity for growth and differentiation which makes them very attractive for basic scientists. They are derived from embryos that develop from eggs that have been fertilized in vitro, in an in vitro [...]

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 [...]
