Multiple Sclerosis (MS), an autoimmune disease primarily affecting myelin and myelin-producing cells known as oligodendrocytes in the brain and spinal cord, is known to cause symptoms of varying severity. Manifestations can range from relatively mild symptoms, such as numbness and blurred vision, to more severe complications, including paralysis and memory problems. This debilitating disease affects approximately 3.2 million individuals worldwide. …
Wharton’s Jelly, a gelatinous substance found within the umbilical cord, is a rich mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) source. These MSCs possess unique properties that make them a valuable tool in regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, and immunomodulation. Lets discuss some advantages and applications of Wharton’s Jelly stem cells along with methods used for extraction and utilization in clinical applications[1]. Clinical application …
Nutrition plays a crucial role in maintaining optimal brain health and cognitive function. The brain requires a constant supply of nutrients to support learning, memory, and decision-making processes. Certain foods benefit brain function, containing omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and B vitamins. Lets explore the best foods for improving brain function and use the following practical tips for incorporating them into …
People with metabolic diseases such as diabetes type 1 or II who suffer periods of low blood sugar are more prone to develop diabetic eye damage. Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine have found that low blood sugar levels results in activation of a biochemical pathway in oxygen-starved retinal cells. The research used entire retinas that were cultured in a low …
Researchers have developed an new AI powered eye exam that can determine the likelihood of that person developing heart disease in under a minute. The discovery paves the way for a very accurate test, that does not require any intrusive procedures, and does not even require a visit to the doctors office. By scanning a person’s eyes with an artificial …
Vascular enlargement, also known as angiogenesis, occurs when new blood vessels form within the body’s preexisting vascular system. It begins in utero and continues throughout life, in both health and sickness. A blood capillary, generated by the process of angiogenesis, is never more than a few hundred micrometres away from any metabolically active tissue in the body. All tissues rely …
