Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are growing global health challenges, affecting millions of people and severely impacting quality of life. In Thailand, like many countries, the burden of kidney disease is increasing due to rising rates of diabetes, hypertension, and aging populations. Traditionally, treatment options for advanced kidney disease have been […]

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the immune system becomes hyperactive and attacks the body’s own tissues and organs, including the skin, joints, kidneys, brain, and cardiovascular system. Traditional treatments such as corticosteroids and immunosuppressants can manage symptoms but often fail to achieve long-term remission and may cause serious side effects. In […]
An new treatment option for erectile dysfunction (ED) is stem cell therapy, especially in situations where more traditional methods such as surgical implants, vacuum pumps, or medicines are inappropriate or unsuccessful. ED, which is defined as the inability to get or keep an erection strong enough for intercourse, is frequently brought on by conditions like […]
Stem cells hold significant potential in addressing the root causes of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Research is continually advancing, offering hope for innovative therapies that target the underlying mechanisms of these conditions. Here’s an overview of how stem cells are being explored for diabetes treatment: 1. Stem Cells and Type 1 Diabetes […]
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a non-progressive neurological disorder caused by brain damage or abnormal brain development, often occurring before, during, or shortly after birth. It affects movement, muscle tone, coordination, and posture. With no known cure, most conventional treatments focus on symptom management rather than repair. However, advancements in regenerative medicine, particularly stem cell therapy […]
Stem cell therapy has become a transformative approach in regenerative medicine, offering new possibilities for treating chronic diseases, repairing tissue damage, and improving overall health. Among the different sources of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC stem cells) such as bone marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSC stem cells) and adipose-derived MSCs (ADSC stem cells) umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells […]
Liver disease is a global health concern, affecting millions of people across various age groups. From chronic hepatitis and fatty liver disease to cirrhosis and liver failure, these conditions can significantly impair quality of life and, in severe cases, lead to life-threatening complications. Traditional treatments often focus on managing symptoms and slowing progression. However, a […]
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive joint condition characterized by the gradual deterioration of cartilage—the smooth, protective tissue that allows bones to glide over each other within the joints. As cartilage wears away over time, bones begin to grind against one another, causing pain, swelling, stiffness, and reduced joint mobility. While conventional treatments such as anti-inflammatory […]
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are one of the most serious and challenging complications linked to diabetes. These chronic, hard-to-heal wounds often result from a combination of poor blood circulation, nerve damage (neuropathy), and weakened immune function—common issues faced by individuals with long-term high blood sugar levels. While conventional treatments like debridement, antibiotics, and pressure relief […]
Neurological diseases have long posed one of the greatest challenges in modern medicine, often leading to progressive disability, cognitive decline, and diminished quality of life. Many of these disorders involve the gradual degeneration or sudden injury of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, with limited options for true recovery. However, stem cell therapy, […]
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition in which the body’s own immune system destroys the insulin-producing β (beta) cells in the pancreatic islets. Without enough working β‑cells, the body can no longer regulate blood glucose properly, leading to chronic hyperglycemia. For most patients, the standard of care remains lifelong insulin injections or infusions plus glucose […]
Chronic back pain affects millions globally, often stemming from the progressive deterioration of the spinal discs. These discs, which serve as cushions between the vertebrae, can lose their integrity over time due to age, repetitive strain, injury, or chronic conditions like osteoarthritis. This breakdown leads to a condition known as degenerative disc disease (DDD)—a source […]
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic and increasingly widespread metabolic disorder characterized by the body’s inability to properly use insulin, paired with a gradual loss of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. While traditional treatment approaches—such as lifestyle modifications, oral medications, and insulin injections—focus on managing blood glucose levels, they do not repair […]
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition that affects a child’s ability to communicate, socialize, and engage in everyday behavior. Symptoms can range from mild to severe, but common challenges include difficulty with verbal and non-verbal communication, limited social interaction, repetitive behaviors, and sensitivity to sensory input. While conventional interventions like speech therapy, […]
Infertility is a deeply personal and often emotionally taxing challenge that affects millions of women globally. Defined as the inability to conceive after 12 months of regular, unprotected intercourse, female infertility stems from a variety of factors—including hormonal imbalances, ovulatory dysfunction, fallopian tube blockages, uterine abnormalities, premature ovarian failure, and age-related reproductive decline. While many […]
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the joints, causing pain, swelling, stiffness, and eventual joint destruction. Common in older adults and more prevalent in women, RA not only impairs mobility but also accelerates aging at the cellular level. Traditional treatments, including immunosuppressants and biologics, can help manage […]
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition characterised by persistent challenges in social communication, repetitive behaviours, and restricted interests. Affecting millions worldwide, ASD varies widely in its presentation and severity. Traditional interventions such as behavioural therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language support remain foundational; however, they often yield limited results for moderate to severe […]
Millions of men worldwide suffer from erectile dysfunction (ED), a common condition that is frequently brought on by tissue deterioration, nerve damage, or inadequate blood supply. A new, regenerative method of treating ED that targets the underlying reasons rather than merely its symptoms is stem cell treatment. How ED Is Treated Using Stem Cell Therapy […]
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder marked by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta of the brain. This neuronal degeneration leads to classical motor symptoms such as tremors, bradykinesia, rigidity, and postural instability, as well as non-motor symptoms including cognitive decline, mood disturbances, and sleep disorders. Current pharmacological treatments […]
Osteoporosis is a progressive condition marked by a decrease in bone mass and structural deterioration of bone tissue, making bones fragile and more prone to fractures. Common in older adults, especially postmenopausal women, osteoporosis affects millions worldwide. Conventional therapies such as calcium and vitamin D supplements, bisphosphonates, and lifestyle modifications can help slow disease progression, […]
