Can Urological Diseases Be Treated with Stem Cells?
Millions of men and women worldwide experience a detrimental impact on the quality of life from a variety of urologic diseases. Eliminating urologic dysfunction in conditions from urinary incontinence to overactive bladder has always been challenging. Current gold standard therapies still often provide only temporary symptomatic relief without addressing the underlying cause of disease development. Recent Studies in Urological Diseases In recent studies, the usage of allograft stem cells to halt disease progression and reverse underlying pathology has shown promise restoring normal function for various urologic diseases. Allograft stem cells may be useful in treating a variety of urologic conditions due to their ability for multilineage cell differentiation and self-renewal. This can give allograft stem cells with proper application regenerative properties assisting in processes like tissue repair. Allograft stem cell injections may also have a therapeutic effect via the secretion of bioactive factors that direct other allograft stem and progenitor cells (biological cells with the ability to differentiate like allograft stem cells)...
