Untested Stem-Cell Treatments: How To Protect ConsumersThe Conversation
Adult stem cells, including MSCs and HSCs, are increasingly used in clinical settings due to their potential to differentiate into specific cell types and their lower risk of ethical issues compared to embryonic stem cells. Adult stem cell therapy is used in a variety of treatments, including hem...
We're learning more about the craving that fuels self-defeating habits—and how new discoveries can help us kick the habit.
biosimilars are not generics. While generic and brand-name drugs have identical active ingredients, it’s impossible to make an identical version of a biologic drug. Biologic drugs are made from living things, so they’re much more difficult to copy. Because of this, biosimilar...
Compared to vessels with similar footprints, more cells can be grown in a smaller area and the EV yield potential is much greater. Researchers can move on easily from single flask characterization into stacked HYPERFlasks and then, once familiar, can scale up with l...
A patient has Parkinson's disease. He is taking carbidopa-levodopa. He has been ordered 18.75mg/75mg. The only tablet you have available is a 25mg/100mg tablet. How much of a tablet will you give your patient? What is the disease process of multiple sclerosis?
It can take months to as much as one to two years for a complete recovery of immune function after engraftment. It usually occurs faster for autologous transplants than for donor transplants. You will have blood tests to ensure the cells being produced are new cells rather than the cancer ...
How is an embryonic stem cell research conducted? How are stem cells being used in cancer research? How can stem cells be used therapeutically? Discuss at least 2 advantages of stem cell treatments or their use in research. Explain human stem cell research a...
“But do I think they are more effective than non-stem cell products? Not necessarily.” Green sees the potential in using stem cells in conjunction with other treatments. “The products work, however, you can improve the benefits dramatically with other procedures such as the Fraxel laser, ...
but it may also affect both younger and older pigs. About 70% of the cases where the infection reaches the nervous system end in death. Much of the economic losses are attributed to mortality, pig management and attempts to control infection, but the disease can also reduce weight gain and...
