Who Discovered Stem Cells? The Answers Revealed

By

Who discovered stem cells is a question worthy of exploration. While Robert Hooke first discovered the concept of cells themselves, the discovery of stem cells is usually credited to Drs. James Till & Ernset McCulloch.

For several hundred years, researchers have known that the human body is comprised of trillions of tiny structures. Known as cells, these structures can only be seen at a microscopic level. These cells come in hundreds of variations – 200, to be exact – and serve multitudinous functions within the human body. [Read more…]

Escalating Demand for Stem Cell Research Products During COVID-19

By

Released May 2020, this 251 page market report features market size data with detailed segmentation and 5-year projections (2020-2024).

Stem cells are primitive cells found in all multi-cellular organisms that are characterized by self-renewal and the capacity to differentiate into mature cell types.

There are now hundreds of companies developing stem cell research products — many of which are serving companies involved in the management of the largest pandemic in modern history. [Read more…]

Stem Cell Therapy for Neuropathy: Take Your Pain Away

By

As the body ages, it’s only natural that some of its processes should break down. This is often due to the fact that nerves in our extremities grow less sensitive over time, transmitting messages to the brain more slowly and feeling less acutely – a condition known as peripheral neuropathy or simply neuropathy.

While some of that is normal, especially in the golden years, neuropathy often manifests in people much too young – in their 30s, 40s, or 50s – as a result of a disease such as diabetes or autoimmune issues. Unfortunately, the condition can significantly hamper your quality of life, making mobility difficult and limiting everyday activities.

The good news? Neuropathy may have a cure, or at least a solid treatment, on the horizon. Stem cells show great promise for a wide variety of conditions, and nerve damage is the latest of these. To see how it can help, it’s important to understand what stem cell treatment is, what neuropathy is and how it could potentially be remedied.

In this article:

  1. What Is Stem Cell Treatment? 
  2. What Is Neuropathy?
  3. What Causes Neuropathy?
  4. How Does Stem Cell Treatment Work?
  5. What Are the Risks?
  6. How Close Are We to Viable Treatment?

A Beginner’s Guide to Stem Cell Therapy: Everything to Know

By

Stem cell therapy, also called regenerative medicine, is gaining traction around the globe. This procedure aims to improve the repair response of dysfunctional and damaged tissue via stem cell implantation. As such, it represents an innovative way of combating various diseases and injuries.

You may be aware there’s a lot of hearsay floating around the topic. Stem cell treatments are in the epicenter of heated debates. We’re going to ignore all that and explore two facts: the ability of stem cells to self-renew unlimitedly and repair tissues in our bodies. [Read more…]

Development of iPSC-derived Disease Models

By

Human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-based models are a valuable resource for studying disease mechanisms in vitro at the cellular level[1], screening potential new therapeutics[2], and investigating the propensity and mechanism for the development of toxic side effects caused by a drug treatment[3]. Such iPSC-based models enable research to be performed under defined experimental conditions and in a reproducible manner. [Read more…]
