The second phase of a clinical trial for patients to regain their sense of taste and smell is about to begin, and it is showing promising results. Otolaryngologist Dr. David Rosen has been helping patients restore their sense of taste and smell after respiratory...
Untapped potential of stem cells could aid repair of spinal cord damage
Scientists at the Francis Crick Institute have identified a group of latent stem cells that respond to injury in the central nervous system of mice. If a similar type of cell exists in humans, they could offer a new therapeutic approach to treat brain and spinal cord...
Single injection of platelet-rich plasma as a novel treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome
Both in vitro and in vivo experiments have confirmed that platelet-rich plasma has therapeutic effects on many neuropathies, but its effects on carpal tunnel syndrome remain poorly understood. We aimed to investigate whether single injection of...
Clinical Research on Treatment of Psoriasis by Human Umbilical Cord-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Psoriasis is a chronic and recurrent inflammatory skin disease and its histological features are characterized by epidermal hyperplasia, increased angiogenesis and immune cell infiltration. Psoriasis prevalence is about 0.1%-3%, affecting approximately 125 million...
Platelet-rich plasma injections for the treatment of refractory Achilles tendinopathy: results at 4 years
Background Chronic Achilles tendinopathy is responsible for a severe reduction in physical performance and persistent pain. There is currently a number of therapeutic options and the local administration of growth factors is an emerging treatment strategy. In...
Stem cells used to treat scoliosis
Scoliosis is a condition that often runs in families, though the cause of the malformation remains unknown. Many schools and pediatricians screen for the condition, which often begins in childhood. However, adult scoliosis can develop after age 18, often as a result...
