Ulcerative colitis is one of the two major forms of inflammatory bowel disease, and it is a chronic condition that is prone to relapse, with an annual incidence rate of about 10 to 20 per 100,000 people. It is characterized by inflammation of the colon mucosa, increased permeability of the colon tissue, and an increase…
Parkinson’s disease is a slow-progressing neurological disorder that leads to the gradual death of nerve cells in the brain, resulting in symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, difficulty in movement, and impaired balance. Globally, disability and mortality due to Parkinson’s disease are increasing more rapidly than any other neurological disorder, doubling in the past 25 years….
Skin naturally ages as the body ages or is exposed to external factors such as weather, environmental elements, or harmful substances, causing internal and external changes in the skin. Signs of skin aging include dryness, reduced elasticity, wrinkles, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and dark spots. The causes of skin aging are both intrinsic factors within the…

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…
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…
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…
