Diseases Treatment

Experts believe that stem cell therapy can be helpful for people with severe spinal cord injuries and expects that it can be a safe treatment. Studies also revealed that even a paralysed person could regain some feeling and control.

Type 1 diabetes is pretty standard across the world, but stem cells therapy can be the answer. In this health issue, pancreatic cells that make insulin get destroyed by the immune system. Embryonic stem cells can become insulin-producing, cells in a diabetic person.

It is one of the leading cause of death in Australia as well as the world. Here, stem cells can provide some relief. Although research is underway, experts believe that injecting stem cells into the heart can redevelop the damaged tissues in heart muscle to improve its working.

Stem cells can also help people suffering from Parkinson's - a neurodegenerative disorder that causes speech problems, stiffness, tremors and other weird movements. Embryonic stem cells can help to grow dopamine-making neurons that a patient lack.

This disease is a progressive and deadly disorder that destroys and kills the brain cells, which leads to cognitive decline, memory loss, and behavioural issues. Experts believe that embryonic stem cells can replace the damaged cells and improve the mental state.

Studies have shown that the use of stem cells for the treatment of lung diseases has a promising future. Stem cell can replace the damaged cells in the lungs that a person suffers during health issues like emphysema, pulmonary fibrosis or pulmonary hypertension.

This health issue is also known as degenerative joint disease, and the most common form of arthritis is called osteoarthritis. This happens when the protective cartilage in joints disappear. Experts believe stem cell can replace those tissue and reduce the joint pains.

Stem cell researchers are looking for various methods to treat blood disorder problems like sickle cell anemia. Although it looks promising, studies are ongoing, and it is difficult to analyse the exact effects on the body.

For now, it might only be a vision, but scientists strongly believe that Stem cell can be beneficial for the treatment of organ failure. Embryonic stem cells can replace the damaged tissue and support a specific organ.
