In recent years, research that uses stem cells in regenerative medicine has been developed, to create repairing treatments for tissues and organs. Our Observatory has published several articles referring to the bioethical aspects of these researches and their, until now, [...]
One of the great advances in medicine is regenerative therapy and stem cell treatments. They are relevant numbers of products and therapies, several of them have been approved by the FDA but many more are in the trial phase. Stem [...]
The first trials were carried out twenty years ago, in animals with stem cells in the heart the latest experimentation with satisfactory results in mice was made last year (read HERE). The aim has been to regenerate lost heart muscle [...]
Last Friday Circulation Journal published an article with an international study of the Center for Applied Medical Research (Cima) and the University of Navarra Clinic (Pamplona Spain) in which reports the identification of the heart cells responsible for repairing the [...]
If mouse placental cells are administered to mice with myocardial infarction, they can act on the damaged area of the heart, differentiating into cardiomyocytes and vascular cells, consequently improving cardiac function. It has previously been shown that cells from the [...]
A recent article published in the Journal of Stomatology, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (Volume 120, Issue 2, April 2019, Pages 128-132) made a review with the title 3D Bioprinting: principles, fantasies and prospects. It is based on a PubMed/MEDLINE search [...]
One bioethical issue our Observatory is following is the proliferation of clinics offering stem cell treatments, many of which do not meet the necessary quality requirements. We published our first article on this problem in 2017 (see HERE and also North America’s two cell therapy companies [...]
Spinal cord injuries are the pathologies that present medical problems in regenerative medicine. Thus, their possible treatment with stem cells has been one of the major challenges for regenerative and reparatory medicine. Nevertheless, progress in this medical field has been [...]
Cell reprogramming has opened great therapeutic possibilities in medicine. Within this field, one of the most attractive possibilities would be to replace neurons that may be destroyed in various illnesses or following a stroke. Now, a new prospect has been [...]
The Federal Trade Commission in the United States, has filed its first punitive action against two cell therapy companies. The Regenerative Medical Group and the Telehealth Medical Group offer therapy with stem cells derived from amniotic fluid for autism, cerebral [...]
Cell reprogramming is revolutionizing the biomedical world, not only because it can obtain cells of different tissues from pluripotent cells, but also because these cells can be genetically modified to be used for the treatment of serious illnesses or to [...]
A recent article titled, A study unravels new stem cell transplant factors that might lead to HIV eradication in the body shows that is possible and has been eradicated throw a cells therapy by Spaniard researchers. The finding, still incipient, opens [...]
