By Jacqueline Howard, CNN Published 2:00 PM EST, Mon February 27, 2023 Dr. Emerson Perin holds up adult stem cells. The Texas Heart Institute CNN Cell therapy, involving adult stem cells from bone marrow, has been shown to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke in severe heart failure patients, according to a new...
Over the last decade, you have probably heard about stem cell research on the news or online. You are probably wondering what exactly stem cells are and why they are such a popular subject for debate. In recent years, scientists and medical institutions have been studying many ways stem cell therapy can treat various diseases. Notably, in the field...
Stem Cell Therapy for Parkinson’s Disease Stem cell therapy may have the benefit of replacing and repairing damaged dopamine-producing nerve cells within the brain. This has already been found in a study conducted by Neelam K.Venkataramana and colleagues. Seven PD patients aged 22 to 62 years with a mean duration of disease 14.7 ± 7.56 years were...
