Stem cells collected from elderly donors function with the same ability as embryonic stem cells, according to a study performed by The Charité – Universitätsmedizin Hospital in Berlin, Europe's largest university clinic. The study findings were published in Frontiers of Cardiovascular Medicine. The study shows that induced pluripotent stem cells (i...

A new stem cell discovery by researchers at the University of Cambridge may mean the ability to repair brain injuries and Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's disease is a progressive condition that causes mental deterioration and cognitive impairment. The condition typically occurs during middle or old age. The Alzheimer's Association estimates that 5...

If you're living with lupus, you likely already know there are many things that can cause you to experience a flare-up. Stress, illness and environmental factors all contribute to an increase in symptoms. But did you know that an unhealthy diet can also be a trigger of lupus flares?

One of the most common complaints we hear at Innovations Stem Cells from individuals living with rotator cuff injuries is that sleeping is painful, frustrating and difficult. Here are some tips that may help you be mo...

New research from Oxford University and the NIHR Southampton Biomedical Research Centre shows that the drugs used to treat rheumatoid arthritis could also help prevent the development of another life-altering condition: Alzheimer's disease. Autoimmune Arthritis Roughly 400,000 people are living with rheumatoid arthritis in the U.K., and, according ...

Peripheral vascular disease is a serious health condition that affects over 12 million Americans. People with PVD experience reduced blood flow to the extremities, head and neck. Symptoms of the condition include numbness, tingling, pain and cramping, as well as the development of skin ulcers. Many individuals who suffer from PVD do not know they h...

A recent study by the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology has shown the potential of stem cells to treat spinal cord injuries. Statistics from the World Health Organization show that 500,000 people around the world suffer a spinal cord injury each year. The National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center reports that in the U.S., 170,000 spinal ...

If you have arthritis, you probably know it is going to rain before the weather forecaster does. Stiff and aching joints are a complaint that we hear about often at Innovation Stem Cell Center from our patients living with arthritis. These painful symptoms seem to worsen when the weather turns cold and rainy. Why Do Weather Changes Cause Arthritis ...

New research from The Rockefeller University shows that skin forms memories after an injury or inflammatory response, allowing it to heal faster when injured in the future. The researchers found that cuts, burns and other injuries to the skin are experiences that leave long-lasting memories on the stem cells that are responsible for healing the ski...

Researchers at the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine are beginning human trials to test two treatments that may help prevent or delay the onset of Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's disease is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States, and the condition affects over 47 million people around the world. According to ...

For the 25 million Americans with asthma, managing multiple medicines and avoiding triggers requires a lot of time, energy, planning and effort. The chronic lung condition can also put a limit on exercise and activity. Asthma can be fatal, and the condition prematurely claims the lives of more than 250,000 people every year. Fortunately, Dr. Johnso...

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) can cause a decline in quality of life. With frequent coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and fatigue, a person finds it hard to enjoy daily activities. Stem cell therapy is a new medical frontier and has shown promise in relieving the symptoms of COPD. Stem cells are removed from fat cells from the patient through a simple procedure and then given to the patient through a nebulizer and an I.V. Most patients found relief after only one treatment. 90% of patients noticed an increase in oxygen levels and feeling less fatigued. This treatment has the potential to change lives and make living with COPD more bearable. Innovations Stem Cell | Advantages of Stem Cell Research | 214-256-1462
