Improving Stem Cell Treatment with Novel Drug Compound

October 29, 2021

One of the primary limitations of stem cell treatment and the subject of ongoing research is the challenge of directing stem cells to their necessary destination in the body which has been a subject of ongoing research. Prior studies have discovered that stem cells are drawn to inflammation in the body, however, using this as a therapeutic lure still poses risks. Thus, researchers continue their search for tools that would aid stem cells in their migration and conversion into specific types of cells necessary for optimal treatment. The ability to do so would have a wide range of implications for regenerative medicine as well as the treatment of disorders in which inflammatory signals fade over time, such as chronic spinal cord injury, stroke, or conditions in which the role of inflammation remains unknown.  Continue reading →

Autophagy for Longer Lifespan?

September 17, 2021

Over time, damaged and dysfunctional components of the body’s cells accumulate leading to a potential buildup of cellular debris which can permanently alter the genes, structure, and function of cells. Clearing away these parts is essential for maintaining optimal cellular function and happens naturally in the body during a complex process called autophagy. Scientists are currently investigating the potential benefits and risks involved with inducing autophagy, which has been linked to several positive health effects including the improvement of cellular health and promotion of an elongated human lifespan. Research in this field remains in its early stages yet some studies have revealed promising results that could shape future approaches to functional medicine.
