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]

Could scorpion venom inspire new treatments for liver disease?

Scorpion venom peptides show promising anti-inflammatory, antiviral, analgesic, and immunomodulatory effects, with experimental evidence suggesting that some candidates could target pathways involved in chronic liver disease and viral hepatitis. The review highlights Kv1.3-blocking peptides and antiviral compounds as potential therapeutic leads, while emphasizing that limited hepatic efficacy data, poor pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, and manufacturing challenges must be overcome before clinical translation ...

Why do older adults often feel better emotionally? Mindfulness may be part of the answer

In a cross-sectional U.S. sample of 129 adults, older age was associated with greater positive and lower negative emotional well-being, alongside greater dispositional mindfulness and lower neuroticism. Lower neuroticism statistically accounted for age differences in both positive and negative well-being, while mindfulness statistically accounted for differences in negative well-being only, although the study cannot establish causality ...

Could one amino acid help explain why men tend to live shorter lives?

A UK Biobank cohort and Mendelian randomization study involving 272,475 participants linked higher circulating tyrosine with greater all-cause mortality and genetically predicted higher tyrosine with shorter lifespan. After accounting for phenylalanine, the relationship with shorter lifespan was clearest in men, while findings in women were less consistent, suggesting a potential sex-specific role for tyrosine in longevity ...

Study reveals evolutionary advantage of human heel-first walking style

The average person takes thousands of steps each day, instinctively walking heel-to-toe. Although they hardly register them, those consistent heel-first strides are more unique to humans than previously thought and allowed early hominins to walk farther more efficiently, but at the cost of higher impact forces on bones and joints, according to a new study led by a researcher at ...
