What is a Stem Cell?

The most extraordinary cells in the human body are STEM CELLS. Stem cells are different from specialized cells in that they have the unique ability to convert into a multitude of different sorts of cells. Stem Cells can actually regenerate and replace damaged cells in the body. This has opened the doors for medical research that otherwise would not be possible. [read more]

Stem Cell Research

From 1908 when their existence was first hypothesized and the name “Stem Cell” was coined, it was then 70 years before definitive proof of their existence was shown in 1978.  In the decades since then, research employing Stem Cells as treatments and therapies has exploded off the charts with research being conducted on nearly all the continents.  The staff at StemCell101.com is dedicated to combing the internet, trade journals, and medical publications to bring consumers the latest information and news about this exciting and promising field.  [read more]

Stem Cell Applications

Without a doubt, the greatest development in the history of Stem Cell research has been the discovery that stem cell therapy can treat, reduce, and/or cure disease.  Moreover, whilst traditional methods of disease treatment may include invasive surgeries or prescription chemicals with harmful side effects, Stem Cell therapies are generally uncomplicated and straightforward and can be even as easy and painless as taking a daily pill. Overall, Stem Cell therapy is legal, ethical, effective, and safe. [read more]

Can aging be reversed or delayed?
The age-old quest for the fountain of youth has been pointing in the direction of stem cells for almost a decade now. Originally, stem cell research focused on stem cells harvested from embryonic sources. Fortunately, in the decades since their discovery, scientists have identified Adult Stem Cells which all humans possess in their bodies. These cells are being touted as the new waters of Bimini to regain youthfulness.   [read more]

Pets/Animals

The HSUS reported in 2012 that 62% of all American households included at least one furry child…either dog or cat. Specifically, about 84 million people have at least one dog and about 96 million have at least one cat.  As anyone with a furry companion knows, these little creatures entwine themselves into our lives and become part of the family.  As with humans, companion animals can also suffer from injuries, illness, and disease. Therefore, it is most advantageous that researches are also investigating and developing Stem Cell therapies for use in canines and felines.  [read more]
