Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a devastating genetic disorder that progressively weakens the muscles of children, predominantly boys, due to mutations in the dystrophin gene. Despite medical advancements, there is currently no definitive cure for DMD. However, regenerative medicine has opened new avenues of treatment particularly the use of Umbilical Cord-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (UC-MSC Stem Cells). […]

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition that affects social interaction, communication, and behavior. While much of the research and therapy focus has been on children, there is growing interest in exploring stem cell therapy using umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSC stem cells) for adults with autism. The question many families and individuals ask is: Can […]
Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated skin disease that affects millions of people worldwide. Characterized by red, scaly, and often itchy patches on the skin, psoriasis not only causes physical discomfort but can also significantly impact emotional and psychological well-being. Conventional treatments, including topical corticosteroids, immunosuppressive drugs, and biologics, often provide temporary relief and are associated […]
Hip osteoarthritis (OA) is a debilitating condition that affects millions of people worldwide, particularly older adults and those with previous joint injuries or genetic predisposition. Characterised by the gradual breakdown of cartilage in the hip joint, this condition leads to chronic pain, stiffness, reduced mobility, and an overall decline in quality of life. While traditional interventions […]
In the realm of regenerative medicine, mesenchymal stem cells (MSC stem cells) have emerged as a transformative tool due to their ability to modulate inflammation, support tissue regeneration, and repair damaged organs. Among the diverse sources of MSCs, umbilical cord-derived MSC stem cells (UC-MSC stem cells) and placenta-derived MSC stem cells (P-MSC stem cells) stand out for their non-invasive […]
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are among the most common sports-related injuries, often requiring surgical reconstruction. However, traditional ACL reconstruction techniques come with limitations such as donor site morbidity, poor proprioception, and risk of post-traumatic arthritis. Recent advances in regenerative medicine, particularly the integration of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC stem cells), scaffolds, and growth factors, offer promising avenues […]
Infertility is a deeply personal and often distressing condition affecting millions of people around the world. Despite advances in reproductive medicine—such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) and other assisted reproductive technologies (ART)—many individuals and couples still struggle to conceive, especially in cases involving severe reproductive system damage, diminished ovarian reserves, poor sperm production, or uterine […]
Stem cell therapy is increasingly recognized as a groundbreaking medical intervention, particularly for repairing and revitalizing damaged nervous system tissues. Among various types, umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) have garnered growing interest in Thailand and worldwide due to their remarkable regenerative potential and anti-inflammatory properties. These cells present an exciting possibility for treating a […]
Arthritis is a widespread, chronic condition that affects millions worldwide, often resulting in debilitating pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility. The most common types, including osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), are caused by different underlying mechanisms—wear and tear in the case of OA, and immune system dysfunction in RA. While current medical treatments such as […]
Osteoporosis is a progressive skeletal disorder that leads to fragile bones and a significantly increased risk of fractures, particularly in the spine, hips, and wrists. Affecting millions worldwide—especially postmenopausal women and the elderly—this “silent disease” often goes unnoticed until a fracture occurs. Traditional approaches such as bisphosphonates, hormone therapy, and supplementation with calcium and vitamin […]
Umbilical cord blood stem cells have gained significant attention for their versatility and potential in treating a range of medical conditions. These stem cells are capable of differentiating into various cell types and are being used in several therapeutic applications. Below are some of the key diseases and conditions currently treated with umbilical cord blood […]
Degenerative disc disease (DDD) is one of the leading causes of chronic low back pain, a condition that significantly affects quality of life and imposes a heavy socioeconomic burden. Traditional treatment options range from conservative management with physical therapy and medications to invasive surgical procedures such as spinal fusion. However, none of these approaches offer […]
Liver disease affects millions of people worldwide and can lead to severe complications if left untreated. The liver plays a central role in essential bodily functions, including detoxifying harmful substances, producing vital proteins, and supporting digestion. Damage to the liver whether from alcohol abuse, viral infections, or metabolic conditions can result in chronic illnesses such […]
The growing field of regenerative medicine is revolutionizing treatment paradigms by targeting the root causes of disease and tissue degeneration rather than merely alleviating symptoms. Among the most promising tools in this field are umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSC stem cells) and growth factors, both of which exhibit strong regenerative and anti-inflammatory potential. When used together, UC-MSC […]
Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated skin condition marked by red, scaly plaques and systemic inflammation. It affects approximately 2–3% of the global population and is often associated with comorbidities such as psoriatic arthritis, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic syndrome. Traditional therapies including topical corticosteroids, phototherapy, and systemic immunosuppressants offer symptomatic relief but often fall short in […]
Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated skin disorder affecting millions worldwide. Characterized by red, scaly plaques commonly found on the elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back, psoriasis can significantly impact a person’s physical comfort, self-esteem, and quality of life. While conventional treatments such as corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and biologic agents help manage the condition, they often fall […]
Cartilage is an essential component of our joints, acting as a cushion between bones and enabling smooth, pain-free movement. It is found in weight-bearing and highly mobile joints such as the knees, hips, shoulders, and ankles. Its primary role is to absorb impact and provide structural support. Unfortunately, cartilage is non-vascular, meaning it has no […]
Chronic back pain is a debilitating condition that affects millions of people worldwide, often caused by spinal disc degeneration. As the soft, gel-like discs between the vertebrae begin to deteriorate, individuals may experience stiffness, nerve irritation, pain, and a noticeable decline in mobility. This condition, commonly known as degenerative disc disease (DDD), is typically associated […]
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 […]
