Cell- and tissue-based approaches for cartilage repair.
Damage and degeneration of articular joints is a major healthcare concern, due to the association of joint disease with ageing, the current strong demographic changes in the proportion of elderly in the population, and the increased incidence of trauma in a sports-active younger population. These joints are biomechanical organs that transmit load between bones in our skeleton, and the articular...
متن کاملCardiac Stem Cell Therapy for Cardiac Repair
OPINION STATEMENT The discovery of adult cardiac stem cells (CSCs) and their potential to restore functional cardiac tissue has fueled unprecedented interest in recent years. Indeed, stem-cell-based therapies have the potential to transform the treatment and prognosis of heart failure, for they have the potential to eliminate the underlying cause of the disease by reconstituting the damaged hea...
متن کاملCell transplantation for cardiac repair.
Despite remarkable progress in contemporary cardiovascular therapy, treatment of heart failure still remains a therapeutic challenge. Pharmacological treatment using -blockers, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, and angiotensin-II receptor blockers, as well as surgical revascularization together with left ventricular reshaping procedures, has improved the quality of life for heart failur...
متن کاملCell therapy for cardiac repair.
Heart failure is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The current strategies for treatment are limited and new therapeutic approaches are needed. This review describes research performed in animal models of cardiac disease and clinical trials and discusses the mechanisms involved in possible beneficial effects of cell therapy. Cell therapy is a promising strategy to treat heart...
متن کاملNovel cell therapy approaches for brain repair.
Numerous reports elucidate that tissue-specific stem cells are phenotypically plastic and their differentiation pathways are not strictly delineated. Although the identity of all the epigenetic factors which may trigger stem cells to make a lineage selection are still unknown, the plasticity of adult stem cells opens new approaches for their application in the treatment of various disorders. Th...
