Doctors and media often tell us that stem cell therapy is a game-changer but is it really? Is it the life-changing process that doctors claim it is? Are there any side effects of stem cell therapy? Let’s find out the answers to all your questions pertaining to the side effects

If you have a challenging illness, you may be exploring different treatments and may even have come across stem cell injection or stem cell therapy as a viable treatment option. Stem cell therapies are now widely accepted as people of all ages are turning to more safe and effective treatments

Raynaud’s Syndrome also called Raynaud phenomenon (RP) is a poorly understood condition that can cause many people distress. Because RP is poorly understood, the treatment options are relatively limited. Newer research into stem cell treatment is shedding light on a new, effective therapy for RP. While more research needs to

A traumatic brain injury is a dreaded medical condition. The consequences can be minor or severe, like paralysis or cognitive deficits. There are very few treatment options for people recovering from traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). Scientists, therefore, have been researching stem cell therapy as an option. One new study found

Kristopher Boesen’s life changed just before his 21 st birthday. Kristopher, who goes by Kris, was in a car on a wet road. The driver lost control of the vehicle when it fishtailed on the wet road, hit a tree, and then hit a telephone pole. Kris was left with

Introduction Stem cell transplants are an important part of healthcare. Physicians and researchers use them to treat many different conditions, like autoimmune diseases, cancers, blood disorders, and many other diseases. A new study raises the possibility that stem cell donors are passing along mutations to recipients. This may have long-standing

Researchers from Italy conducted a literature review of 83 articles about the biological properties and therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stem cells derived from Wharton’s Jelly of the human umbilical cord, and published the key learnings in 2019 in the International Journal of Stem Cells.1 The following is a summary of

The French daily newspaper, Le Parisien, reported the Formula One legend, Michael Schumacher is receiving stem cell therapy at the Georges-Pompidou Hospital in Paris, France. Michael Schumacher suffered a traumatic brain injury after a devastating ski accident six years ago. Michael Schumacher, a retired German racing driver, is a seven-time

A hallmark clinical study by physicians at Duke University and the University of Texas, published in Stem Cells Translational Medicine in 2018, showed IV infusion of human umbilical cord stem cells to be safe for the treatment of Cerebral Artery Ischemic Stroke.1 More than 85% of all strokes are ischemic

Results, from a study at Sapporo Medical University in Japan, showed bone marrow derived stem cell therapy to be safe and effective for the treatment of spinal cord injury. Japan approves the first commercially produced stem cell product, Stemilac injection, for the treatment of spinal cord injuries. Stemilac was developed

As the evidence of the clinical efficacy of stem cell therapy continues to grow, the physicians at the Stem Cells Transplant Institute receive hundreds of questions daily from people asking the same question: What happens to the stem cells once they are injected into the body?  There are 2 theories,

To understand which type of stem cell is best, it is necessary to dive a bit deeper into the science of stem cells and Regenerative Medicine. Regeneration is the ability of the human body to heal itself.  Regenerative medicine is the clinical application of regeneration. Two of the main sources

Regenerative medicine may be the best hope for patients with a chronic disability or disease. Stem cells are being used to treat neurological, cardiovascular, autoimmune and orthopedic conditions as well as spinal cord injuries, severe wounds, erectile dysfunction and the list goes on. Note: Despite all advances in stem cells

According to a report, published by researchers from the University of South Florida on March 27, in Scientific Reports, transplantation of human bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) into mice with similar symptoms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) helped more motor neurons survive and slowed disease progression by repairing damage to the

Stem cell therapy, in combination with growth factors and antioxidants, has been shown in clinical trials to be one of the best therapeutic options for a number of diseases including but not limited to: Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury,

Stem cells are unspecialized cells that differentiate into specialized cells and are the basis of all tissue and organ cells of the body. There are three two main sources of stem cells used to treat injuries and chronic diseases: adult stem cells, and umbilical cord stem cells. Adult stem cells

Your choice for regenerative medicine and stem cell treatment has the potential to change your life. Stem cell therapy can improve your quality of life by offering relief to patients suffering from chronic pain, difficult to heal injuries, and certain chronic conditions. However, all procedures have some risk, even under

Dr. Leslie Mesen and the Stem Cells Transplant Institute were recently featured in Wellness Magazine, Austria’s biggest premium health magazine. The article “Stem Cell Transplantation: Stay Young & Healthy” was made available to readers in May while the printed article will be available in the June issue. For the benefit

Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI), also called premature ovarian failure, occurs when your ovaries stop functioning normally before the age of 40. When the ovaries stop functioning normally they no longer produce sufficient amounts of estrogen and will not store and release eggs regularly. Frequently women with POI are diagnosed with

A series of reports have recently appeared in electronic, national, and international media sources, citing a warning by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Costa Rica, about abuses that may be taking place in our country by unscrupulous clinics using stem cells. According to news sources, some of these clinics are offering “miracle therapies” to patients, without any clinical or

Engage in a discussion about stem cell therapy and you could find yourself in an emotionally charged situation. Stem cell therapy might be the most controversial topic in medicine today, but the controversy spreads beyond medicine and crosses into political and religious beliefs. Much of the contention is the result

Abstract: Juan, a 45 year-old electrician,suffered a 30,000 volt shock when his left arm contacted a high tension power line. The current travelled down the back of his left leg and exited via a 12cmx10cm wound on the dorsal aspect of his left foot leaving the underlying structures exposed. He

The Stem Cells Transplant Institute is partnering with N-BIOTEK, the world leader in stem cell manufacturing and processing. N-BIOTEK, Inc. was founded in 2000 and is the only company in the world that focuses on the entire stem cell processing system from beginning to end;

The International Society for Stem Cell Application (ISSCA) promotes excellence in the field of Regenerative and Stem Cell Medicine. In more than 25 countries, the organization partners with academic centers and medical schools and assists members with education, publications and certifications.  As a leader in the field of regenerative medicine,

Regenerative medicine focuses on therapies that replace or restore lost, damaged, or aging cells in the human body to restore function. Stem cells have the potential to repair, replace and regenerate cells making them a powerful tool in the field of regenerative medicine.
