Usage of Stem Cell Therapy

Blood or hematopoietic stem cells are the most widely used stem cells, which are used for frequently used for stem cell transplants such as bone marrow transplantation. This type of Stem Cell Therapy is used for treating some immune system and blood disorders and diseases, as well as for rebuilding blood systems following treatment of some types of cancer. Disease such as Parkinson’s disease is also treated with this kind of Stem Cell Therapy. Groundwork studies have shown that bone marrow cells can provide beneficial effects when injected into an affected heart. In few of the cases, stem cells may be infused straight in the blood, and the cells make their way to the right, location and start creating new tissues and cells required. Other cases require cells to be injected into a tissue or an organ, where cells are needed.

The main aim of a Stem Cell Therapy is transplanting stem cells in the patient and then directing them to the right place where it can divide and differentiate to form new and functioning tissues or can repair the tissues that have been damaged due to any disease or disorder. However, the risk of the stem cells not working in the desired manner is there, but researchers are continuously working to find new ways of making Stem Cell Therapy as safe as possible for different patients.

For successful usage of stem cells to treat different diseases, researchers first have to come up with source of ample amount of stem cells, as many adult cells does not have the ability to divide and multiply in huge numbers. The next challenge that scientists face in the use of Stem Cell Therapy is creating of the required type of cell in lab conditions, or after transplanting the cell into the patient.

The risk of rejection of the new stem cells by the immune system of the receiving patient also exists while using stem cells for treating diseases. This is another big concern and roadblock in the way of successful usage of Stem Cell Therapy. New ways of protecting stem cells from attack of the immune systems are being explored by researchers these days.

Research institutes and health centers like Giostar, not only offers Stem Cell Therapy for various diseases, but are also involved in consistent research to make sure that the therapy is safe and that the stem cells remain functional throughout the lifespan of the patient. 

Potential of Stem Cells in Diabetes Treatment

The incredible potential of stem cells and possibility of using them for curing fatal diseases has been in the news of late. However, special attention has been paid in the field of administering Stem Cell Therapy for Diabetes Treatment. The reason, we all know, is the higher number of individuals being affected by this disease and the complications that it can create, if not treated in the right time and manner. Complications such as risk of stroke, cardiovascular diseases, lower limb amputation, kidney failure, glaucoma, dementia, and many more are included in the list of diabetes associated risks.

Although both the types of diabetes has their corresponding treatment procedures, but none of them is completely effective in curing the disease. Oral medications, insulin injections, etc just try to control the complications associated with diabetes. The good news is that the field of Regenerative medicine has shown prospects of changing the scenario all together for diabetic patients. Research has shown that Stem Cell Therapy can help in regeneration of affected cells and can boost insulin producing ability of the pancreas. In recent trials adipose stem cells have been administered in patients has proved to be effective treatment option for type-2 diabetes. It has led to enhanced efficiency in exercise, supplementation, and even dietary changes.

Clinical trials are being carried out continuously to develop and authenticate Stem Cell Therapy for Diabetes Treatment in humans. Researchers are now focusing on using embryonic cells and then inducing to change to beta cells, which can be then transplanted in the patient. Like any innovation there are several roadblocks in the path of Stem Cell Therapy to develop into a complete safe treatment option for degenerative diseases. The path from laboratory to clinics and health centers is pretty tough, but endeavor of scientists and support from world class research organizations is making things happen for Stem Cell Therapy.

Scientists are now working on biliary cells, which are instructed to become islets. The target of recent studies is to establish these cells, so that they can be used in reversing diabetes in patients. Researchers are working hard to try out every possibility of transplanting stem cells and protecting them from being destroyed by the immune system.

Global research centers such as Giostar is now offering unique Diabetes Treatment options with stem cells, and has paved the way for better lifestyle for patients, and is trying to wipe away insulin injections from the scene altogether.
