  • In addition to the functions of the cells themselves, paracrine soluble factors produced by stem cells, known as the stem cell secretome, have been found to be another mechanism by which stem cell-based therapies mediate their effects in degenerative, autoimmune, and inflammatory diseases. (wikipedia.org)
  • Do you know you can use your own body cells to fight diseases? (medicaltourismco.com)
  • All these diseases are readily treated by Stem Cell Therapy in India at a reasonable cost. (medicaltourismco.com)
  • The use of hESC-derived cells is an attractive treatment approach, in fact, for many different diseases because transplanted cells may be able to react to changing conditions in the microenvironment, which is an important biological process, Dr Banin pointed out. (medscape.com)
  • Mitochondrial function or the ability to generate energy through OXPHOS (oxidative phosphorylation) is vital for cell homeostasis and its dysfunction has been linked to the pathogenesis of nearly all chronic diseases ( Pieczenik and Neustadt, 2007 ). (frontiersin.org)
  • California voters received, instead, a TV campaign promising cures tomorrow for a host of diseases, some of which may never respond to stem cell therapy. (latimes.com)
  • Word quickly spread about the exceptional results that stem cell therapy delivers in alleviating chronic pain, treating sports & orthopedic injuries and a wide variety of autoimmune and degenerative diseases, and even reducing the impact of aging. (maxim.com)
Laboratory2
  • Dr Thomas Okarma, who heads up the Geron Corporation, claims to have heart cells that 'beat' in laboratory dishes developed from stem cells (2). (spiked-online.com)
  • Dr. Lipton solved these problems by inducing ES cells to express a protein, discovered in his laboratory called myocyte enhancer factor 2C (MEF2C). (science20.com)

  • How did you end up doing a Ph.D. at Lund Stem Cell Center? (lu.se)
  • I found it incredibly interesting so when it came to doing a master's project, I reached out to Lund Stem Cell Center. (lu.se)
  • What have you found the most enjoyable during your Ph.D. studies at Lund Stem Cell Center? (lu.se)
Mammalian1
  • The early mammalian embryo consists of the extra-embryonic cell layers-the trophoblast and a body of cells called the inner cell mass (ICM), which eventually become the embryo proper. (thefutureofthings.com)
Researchers5
  • There are a large number of companies and researchers developing and evaluating COVID-19 related therapies. (prnewswire.com)
  • In January 2014, researchers announced they had developed a new method of making stem cells: by placing skin cells in an acidic environment. (cnn.com)
  • Since the initial discovery of the self-renewing properties of stem cells in the early 1960s - pioneered by a small team of researchers at the Ontario Cancer Institute [3] - the understanding of the power and diversity of stem cells has increased rapidly. (articlecity.com)
  • To overcome this obstacle, researchers in the department of biochemical engineering at University College London (UCL) recently developed an automated stem cell culture system in a microplate format, offering higher consistency and reproducibility, better protection of cells from contamination, and improved operator safety. (genengnews.com)
  • It may also give researchers a method of studying disease processes at the cellular level, yielding insights that could contribute to the development of other therapies. (latimes.com)
Tumors4
  • Glioblastomas are intrinsic brain tumors believed to originate from neuroglial stem or progenitor cells. (frontiersin.org)
  • Cancer stem cell-targeted therapies play a key role in the treatment of cancer because other, more differentiated cells in the tumors have a relatively short lifespan even without treatment. (eurekalert.org)
  • In addition, the cells would sometimes become tumors. (science20.com)
  • This theory holds that tumors arise from 1 of 2 undifferentiated stem cells: the excretory duct reserve cell or the intercalated duct reserve cell. (medscape.com)
Ability7
  • Embryonic stem cells are derived from early embryos and have the ability to differentiate into any cell type. (spiked-online.com)
  • While the appeal of embryonic cells has been their ability to differentiate into any type of cell, there has been significant ethical, moral, and spiritual controversy surrounding their use. (prnewswire.com)
  • They are able to differentiate into any cell of an organism and have the ability of self-renewal. (articlecity.com)
  • Stem cells are unique because of their ability to develop into various cell types. (corporatewellnessmagazine.com)
  • At the top of the list comes the zygote-a fertilized egg, which of course has the ability to divide and differentiate into all cell types in the body and create a new organism. (thefutureofthings.com)
  • The first three divisions of the zygote give birth to eight totipotent cells, each of which also has the ability to become an entire organism. (thefutureofthings.com)
  • The cells of the ICM are no longer omnipotent, because they no longer share the fate of the trophoblast, and they have committed themselves to an embryonic fate with the ability to become any cell in the body (but not the trophoblast). (thefutureofthings.com)
Cellular4
  • Organoids are cultured from stem cells within a 3D medium to provide a more physiologically relevant and realistic view of cellular interactions than can be seen with traditional 2D models. (corning.com)
  • Induced pluripotent stem cells, which harness the power of genetic reprogramming - basically, the altering of a cell's DNA - to change the course of cellular development. (articlecity.com)
  • In normal cells, glucose participates in cellular energy production through glycolysis as well as through its complete catabolism via the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). (hindawi.com)
  • This study suggests that NPCs could be useful for the cellular treatment of various optic neuropathies, together with cell therapy using mesenchymal stem cells. (bvsalud.org)
