Low back pain is one of the most prevalent pathologies in the developed world. It accounts for 149 million lost workdays annually in the US and is the second most common reason for sick leave, just behind the common cold. Chronic low back pain is one of the most prevalent conditions causing patients to seek […]

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic progressive, neurodegenerative disease with a multifactorial etiology. It is characterized by hallmark signs of bradykinesia, rigidity, tremor and postural instability. It is superseded only by Alzheimer’s disease as the most common neurodegenerative disorder. PD exerts substantial burden on patients, families of patients and caregivers and is associated with a […]

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a potentially disabling disease of the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system). In MS, the immune system attacks the protective sheath (myelin) that covers nerve fibers and causes communication problems between your brain and the rest of your body. Eventually, the disease can cause permanent damage or deterioration of the […]

The umbilical cord is a noncontroversial source of mesenchymal stem cells. Mesenchymal cells are found in several tissue compartments of the umbilical cord, placenta and decidua. Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells derived from Wharton’s jelly (UCMSCs) have shown to have therapeutic potential, possibly as a substitute cell for bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells for cellular […]

Hormones are your body’s chemical messengers. They travel in your bloodstream to tissues or organs. They work slowly, over time, and affect many different processes, including: Growth and development. Metabolism – how your body gets energy from the foods you eat. Sexual function. Reproduction. Mood. Endocrine glands, which are special groups of cells, make hormones. […]

Bioidentical hormones are defined as man-made hormones that are very similar to the hormones produced by the human body. These are then used as treatment for men and women whose own hormones are low or out of balance. What are bioidentical hormones?  Hormones are special chemicals made by parts of the body called glands. They […]

Multiple professional athletes have had stem cell therapies with excellent results. The five time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo and 19-time Grand Slam winner Rafael Nadal opted for quick recoveries from injuries with stem cell therapy. The Manchester United player Cristiano Ronaldo had a stem cell treatment for a hamstring injury while playing for the […]

Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that are present in the embryonic, fetal, and adult stages of life and give rise to differentiated cells that are the building blocks of tissue and organs. In the postnatal and adult stages of life, tissue-specific stem cells are found in differentiated organs and are key in repairing any type […]

Obesity is now a global problem and it is called “Globesity” which means many people around the world suffer from this disease. Obesity is defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health. The rate of obesity has risen in recent decades and it is predicted to rise even more because […]

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has authority to regulate regenerative medicine products, including stem cell products and exosome products. A common question that we hear is, “are stem cell treatments approved by the FDA?” The answer is that there are some treatments that are fully approved, but many are still being studied and […]
