Blood Plasma Reduces Symptoms and Fatalities in Outbreaks of Coronavirus US blood donation centers are actively collecting plasma from COVID-19 survivors to treat current patients infected with the disease. Convalescent plasma therapy, an old treatment method revived for COVID-19, involves using blood products from recovered patients to inject into those still battling the virus. This

The human immune system helps to protect the body against illness and infection caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. This process is achieved by a collection of reactions and responses made by the body to damage these infected cells. It is also called immune responses. This immune system is very crucial in cancer patients

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs) Induced pluripotent stem cells (also known as iPS cells or iPSCs) are a type of pluripotent stem cell that can be generated directly from a somatic cell. Pluripotent stem cells hold promise in the field of regenerative medicine. Because they can propagate indefinitely, as well as give rise to every

Insulin-producing cells grown in the lab could provide a possible cure for the age-old disease, diabetes. Understanding Type 1 Diabetes Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that destroys insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells, leading to dangerously high blood glucose levels. Patients often require insulin administration and other medications to manage blood sugar levels. For those

A lot of viruses that have taken a toll on life, such as the Ebola virus in Africa, the Nipah virus, and the most recent coronavirus that left China running helter-skelter, all seemed to have originated from bats. Origins of the Coronavirus During the course of the virus epidemic in Wuhan, where it was first

Innovative Wound Healing: The Gcells Solution Because of the complex nature of the wound healing process, an injury on the skin can pose several challenges and likely complications, especially when acute. They can deteriorate from acute to chronic conditions, requiring external intervention best understood by a specialist physician to restore normalcy to the affected area.

Dodanim Talavera-Adame,1 Daniella Newman,2 Nathan Newman1 1 American Advanced Medical Corp. (Private Practice), Beverly Hills, CA2 Western University of Health Sciences, Pomona, CA, USA Abstract The prevalence of androgenic alopecia (AGA) increases with age and it affects both men and women. Patients diagnosed with AGA may experience decreased quality of life, depression, and self-consciousness. There

Authors: Michael L. Levy, MD, PhD; John R. Crawford, MD; Nabil Dib, MD; Lev Verkh, PhD; Nikolai Tankovich, MD, PhD; Steven C. Cramer, MD Background and Purpose Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability. Limited treatment options exist for patients with chronic stroke and substantial functional deficits. This study examined the safety and preliminary

Abstract Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) are increasingly used therapeutically via intravenous administration due to their efficacy in tissue repair and anti-inflammatory roles. However, comprehensive data on MSC biodistribution, target structures, and migration mechanisms remain sparse. This review explores current hypotheses regarding MSC tissue targeting, covering both preclinical and clinical studies. Background In the 1970s, Friedenstein

Introduction Stem cell therapy has become a popular type of treatment for a number of conditions, including the regeneration of injured tissue or diseased cells in the human body. This therapy is classified as regenerative medicine. Several advancements have already been made in this medical field, and many have experienced positive results when they underwent

What is ALS? Although a rare neurologic condition, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is the most common type of Motor Neuron Disease (MND), a condition that affects the voluntary muscles. This is a progressive disorder that leads to muscle weakness and depletion due to nerve dysfunction. ALS is also called Lou Gehrig’s disease, named after the

Introduction to Viscosupplementation One of the treatments approved by the FDA for knee arthritis is Hyaluronic Acid (HA) injection, commonly known as viscosupplementation. This treatment has shown significant success in managing knee arthritis and is increasingly being explored for other parts of the body, such as the hip and shoulder, although these uses are not
