COVID-19, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, can lead to respiratory illnesses ranging from mild to severe, including fatalities. It has inflicted significant damage on the global economy. The most effective preventive measures include vaccination, wearing masks during high transmission periods, frequent handwashing, and avoiding contact with infected individuals [1]. According to the WHO, as of…
Inadequate blood supply causes damage to the brain in a condition known as a stroke, also referred to as a cerebrovascular accident. Blood clots form in the brain, interrupting blood flow and causing blockages in arteries, leading to ruptured blood vessels and subsequent bleeding in the brain. When arteries burst, there’s insufficient oxygen and nutrients…
Regenerative medicine based on stem cells is currently the center of attention. Stem cells lead the way in new therapies because they can self-renew and differentiate into various cell lines. Stem cells primarily include embryonic and somatic stem cells [1]. Somatic stem cells comprise hematopoietic stem cells and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). MSCs can adhere…
The global incidence rates of liver cancer have been referenced from the GLOBOCAN 2020 database, comprising 185 countries with figures calculated per 100,000 people per year. In 2020, healthcare professionals diagnosed an estimated 905,700 cases of liver cancer globally, leading to 830,200 deaths [1,2]. Liver cancer ranks among the top three causes of cancer-related deaths…
According to the World Health Organization’s 2019 estimation, chronic diseases are among the leading causes of death worldwide. Chronic kidney disease accounts for approximately 11 to 13% of global statistics. Kidney failure is a condition in which kidney function gradually diminishes over time, becoming irreversibly impaired. The leading causes of kidney failure can be attributed…
Research using stem cells for diabetes has been overwhelmingly positive, showing promising results for treating type 1 and 2 diabetes. The use of stem cells in treating diabetes has been shown to improve blood sugar control and potentially restore the function of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. This is particularly important for patients with…
