"Stem cells" are the primal cells found in all multicellular organisms. They retain the ability to renew themselves through mitotic cell division and can differentiate into diverse range of specialized cell types. Now Stem cells are considered to be "Key to human health" as they are the most promising way to treat many fatal diseases and save human life in a better way. This blog is a simple representation of STEM CELLS.

Neurodegenrative Diseases and Stem Cells Therapy: "Parkinson's Disease"
Neurodegeneration is the umbrella term for the progressive loss of structure or function of neurons, including death of neurons. Many neurodegenerative diseases including Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and Huntington’s occur as a result of neurodegenerative processes.
Parkinson's Disease and Stem cells Therapy:
Parkinson's disease is a chronic progressive neurodegenerative condition characterized initially by muscle rigidity, tremors, and the slowing of movement. Over time, patients sustain a loss of mobility and experience difficulties with posture, speech and cognition. It is generally agreed that the decline of a particular brain cell called the dopamine neuron (or dopamine cell) is involved. Current drug therapies are useful in early stages but become less effective as the disease progresses. Dopamine cell transplantation has offered some success in the treatment of Parkinson's but is limited by the small amount of tissue available for transplant.
Recently it has been shown that human embryonic stem cells can be transformed into dopamine cells, when treated with a cocktail of growth factors. Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that possess the ability to divide for indefinite periods in culture, giving rise to a specific specialized cell, such as dopamine. Human embryonic stem cells may one day provide an inexhaustible supply of such cells. However, their usefulness for transplant therapy depends on their exhibiting the normal properties of dopamine cells, most importantly the ability to produce and release dopamine when transplanted into the brain.

ReplyDeletecigarette smoking is the number one risk factor for lung cancer,cigarette smoking is linked to about 80% to 90% of lung cancer deaths. Lung cancer is the most common form of the disease in the world and 90 percent of all cases are caused by cigarette smoking. About 10 to 15 percent of smokers develop lung cancer — although they often die of other smoking-related causes like heart disease, stroke or emphysema. lung cancer often goes unnoticed in its early stages. As the disease develops, a persistent cough develop and chronic cough worsen. including chest pain, shortness of breath, hoarseness, bloody fluid coughed up from the respiratory tract, and frequent bouts of bronchitis or pneumonia. Sometimes all your bones begin pains or hurts you so bad, headaches, dizziness,I was so pissed off and tired of my life,after I developed lung cancer from cigarette smoking and I was at the point of death,through my boredom I was surfing the internet then I came across re Dr James herbal mix. who said he can cure lung cancer with his herbal mix and got herbal cleansers from smoking too.I really thought it was a joke until I have gotta try. when I contacted him,he said yes he can. so little time I thought about it and bought the herbal medicine which I took couple of week to get to me.within one week of taken it I started seeing a lots of changes till I was totally cured. his treatment is so unique,I never thought i will be able to be free from Lung Cancer and smoking treat too.He saved my life and I'm strong and healthy right now.You can speak with Him direct on his mobile/whatsapp +2348152855846
