How Age Impacts Stem Cell Concentration
With the sharp rise in aging-associated diseases, the need for stem cell concentration information is more important than ever....
The Future of Anti-Aging & Stem Cell Therapy
Connections have frequently been made between aging and the loss of stem cells. As you get older, the total number of your own, naturally-occurring stem cells decreases. The question then has been simply if you increase the number of stem cells in the body, can you combat aging? New studies show that stem cell therapy with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) may help certain individuals showing signs of aging. One such study was performed by researchers at the Interdisciplinary Stem Cell Institute (ISCI) at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. The goal was to determine the effectiveness of MSC’s in reducing the effects of frailty due to aging. Phase 1 and 2 trials demonstrated no adverse health effects from the treatments. Joshua M. Hare, M.D. described the results as surprising, exciting and confidence-building in utilizing allograft stem cell treatments for this application in antiaging. Functional loss of allograft stem cells plays an important role in organismic aging processes. Recent research discoveries have uncovered the...
