Wharton’s Jelly Stem Cells Show Promise for Chronic Spinal Cord Injury in New Study
Chronic complete spinal cord injury (SCI) is a life-altering diagnosis that severs communication between the brain and body, leading to a permanent loss of movement and sensation for which no restorative treatments currently exist.[1] However, a groundbreaking...
Umbilical Cord Stem Cell Eye Drops Could Offer Relief From Dry Eye
A recent phase 1 trial has found that umbilical cord stem cell eye drops could help relieve the symptoms of dry eye for patients with a severe, treatment-resistant form of the condition. What is dry eye? Dry eye is a chronic condition where either the eyes do not...
First Cord Blood Treatment for Cerebral Palsy Performed in Australia
A six-year-old girl named Zara has become the first child in Australia to receive an infusion of her own stored cord blood as treatment for cerebral palsy outside of a clinical trial. Experts hope that this milestone will pave the way towards broader availability,...
Could Cord Tissue Stem Cells Help Manage Type 2 Diabetes?
Managing type 2 diabetes can be a daily challenge, and scientists are always looking for better ways to help patients suffering from the condition. One such area of study is regenerative medicine, more specifically cellular therapy, with researchers investigating...
