While stem cells are widely recognized for their regenerative abilities in repairing tissues and treating injuries, recent developments in regenerative medicine have highlighted their crucial role in maintaining and regulating metabolic health. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), particularly those derived from umbilical cord tissue (UC-MSCs), are at the forefront of this innovative approach. In Thailand, cutting-edge […]

Vision loss resulting from ocular diseases continues to challenge modern medicine, especially when damage becomes irreversible. Conditions such as age‑related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, hereditary retinal dystrophies (for example, retinitis pigmentosa), and corneal injuries can cause progressive decline in visual acuity. Traditional treatments—including laser therapy, injections, and surgery—often focus on slowing progression, not […]

Type 1 diabetes is a lifelong autoimmune condition in which the body’s own immune system mistakenly destroys insulin-producing beta cells within the pancreas. As a result, people with this disease are no longer able to produce insulin—the hormone responsible for regulating blood glucose levels. Without this crucial function, individuals must rely on external insulin administration […]

Dementia is a collective term describing a range of neurodegenerative disorders marked by memory loss, impaired judgment, reduced cognitive function, and behavioral changes. As populations age globally, dementia has emerged as a major public health concern, with Alzheimer’s disease being its most prevalent form. Current treatments offer only temporary symptom relief without halting or reversing […]

Osteoporosis is a widespread condition that weakens bones, making them fragile and more likely to fracture. It affects millions of people, particularly older adults and postmenopausal women. Traditional treatments aim to slow bone loss, but stem cell therapy presents a groundbreaking approach to not only prevent further deterioration but also regenerate bone tissue, offering new […]

Stem cell therapy for osteoarthritis (OA) and other joint disorders is gaining increasing attention as a novel and effective treatment approach. OA is a chronic, degenerative joint disease that primarily affects the cartilage in the joints, leading to pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility. The condition is most common in weight-bearing joints like the knees, […]

Stem cells have the potential to revolutionize medical treatments. This overview explores what stem cells are, their functions in the body’s tissues, and their current and potential applications in medical research and therapies. What Are Stem Cells? Stem cells are unique cells that possess two remarkable properties: Self-Renewal: They can replicate themselves to produce more stem […]

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe and progressive genetic disorder that primarily affects young boys, leading to muscle weakness, loss of mobility, and, ultimately, the need for full-time assistance or a wheelchair. For patients battling this condition, the goal is often to slow the progression of muscle degeneration and improve quality of life. Recent […]

Osteoporosis is a chronic condition characterized by decreased bone density and increased fragility, leading to a higher risk of fractures. It affects millions of people worldwide, particularly older adults and postmenopausal women. Traditional treatments, such as calcium and vitamin D supplements, bisphosphonates, and hormone therapy, help slow bone loss but do not actively regenerate lost […]

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) remain among the most serious and difficult-to-treat complications for individuals with diabetes. These persistent, non-healing wounds arise primarily due to a combination of reduced blood flow, nerve damage (neuropathy), and an impaired immune system, all of which are common consequences of chronic high blood sugar levels. Despite the availability of traditional […]

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a prevalent and progressive metabolic disorder that arises from two interconnected dysfunctions: resistance to insulin in the body’s cells and the gradual decline of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. Conventional treatments focus mainly on managing blood sugar levels. However, these approaches do not address the underlying damage or […]

In the field of aesthetic and cosmetic medicine, mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)‐based treatments are rapidly emerging as among the most exciting innovations for facial rejuvenation. As we age, our skin loses its natural moisture, elasticity, and firmness. Fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, and uneven skin tone appear. Stem cell therapy offers an advanced, minimally invasive […]

Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) is a leading cause of chronic back and neck pain, often associated with aging and spinal wear and tear. Conventional treatments typically aim to reduce symptoms but fall short of restoring disc structure or function. However, stem cell therapy particularly using umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSC stem cells) is emerging as […]

In the expanding field of regenerative medicine, umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSC stem cells) have garnered considerable interest due to their exceptional biological characteristics. Derived ethically and painlessly from Wharton’s jelly within the umbilical cord, UC-MSC stem cells exhibit potent regenerative, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory capabilities. Their widespread application in clinical research and therapy is largely attributed […]

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), a progressive neurological illness that damages motor neurones and causes loss of muscle function and ultimately paralysis, may be treated with Umbilical Cord-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (UC-MSCs). There are few available treatments for ALS, and those that are available mostly try to control symptoms and reduce the disease’s course rather than […]

Meniscus tears are among the most prevalent knee injuries, particularly affecting athletes, active individuals, and the elderly. Such injuries can significantly impair knee joint stability and overall mobility, leading to a reduction in quality of life. Conventional treatment options ranging from physical therapy to surgical intervention often yield limited success, particularly due to the meniscus’s restricted […]

Stem cell therapy is emerging as a potential treatment for autism, with researchers exploring how stem cells could help improve the neurodevelopmental challenges associated with the condition. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a multifaceted neurodevelopmental condition that impacts an individual’s social interactions, communication skills, and behavioral patterns. Current treatments primarily focus on managing symptoms through […]

Introduction Skin health is a critical aspect of overall wellness and aesthetic confidence. Factors such as aging, sun exposure, and injury can lead to skin degeneration, loss of elasticity, wrinkles, and scar formation. With the rise of regenerative medicine, umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSC stem cells) have emerged as a promising tool in dermatological […]

Advancements in regenerative medicine are paving the way for innovative treatments in dermatology, particularly in the area of pigmentation disorders. Conditions such as vitiligo, melasma, sunspots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) affect millions of individuals worldwide, leading to both cosmetic and psychological concerns. Traditional approaches like topical creams, laser therapy, and chemical peels often aim to […]

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic, progressive neurological disorder that significantly impacts movement and coordination. It results from the gradual deterioration of dopamine-producing neurons in a part of the brain known as the substantia nigra. Dopamine, a vital neurotransmitter, plays a crucial role in enabling smooth and controlled muscle movements. As dopamine levels decrease, individuals […]
