Medical Applications of Menstrual Blood Stem Cells
The science and medicine are continuously seeking new possibilities in the field of healing, particularly in the treatment of neurological diseases. Stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are conditions that significantly impact patients’ lives, and traditional therapies often have limited effectiveness. Researchers are constantly looking for new solutions, and the application of stem cells derived from umbilical cord and menstrual blood may offer new hope. The unique ability of stem cells to differentiate into various types of cells and their immunologically immature state allows them to support the survival of surrounding cells rather than replace them. Through the study of these cells, increasingly promising results are emerging that…

Hair Therapy and Stem Cell Treatments
Stem cell therapy is one of the modern and promising methods for treating hair loss, offering the possibility of regenerating damaged hair follicles and stimulating the growth of new hair strands. This technology can be particularly appealing to those who have not been able to achieve lasting results with traditional, conservative solutions. Stem cell therapy is gaining increasing popularity in trichology, as many seek effective solutions to the problem of hair loss. The causes of hair loss encompass a wide spectrum, from genetic factors to hormonal disorders, and stem cell therapy is suitable for treating a variety of cases. The method has proven particularly promising for androgenetic alopecia, female hair…

Human Retina Created in an Artificial Environment
The retina is an organ that plays a crucial role in vision, responsible for the detection of light and the initial steps of processing visual information through nerve tissue. The functioning of the retina is extremely complex and is not yet fully understood. The current knowledge of the scientific community is primarily based on animal experiments, but these results are often not directly applicable to the study of the human retina. The retina is a sensitive tissue that can quickly become damaged within minutes after being removed from the body if it is not provided with sufficient nutrients and oxygen. Therefore, it poses a challenge for researchers to conduct detailed…

Stem cell changes responsible for baldness?
A hair loss, especially baldness, is a problem that affects many people and can arise from various causes. Losing hair poses challenges not only from an aesthetic perspective but also has a serious impact on mental well-being. People often seek solutions to stop or reverse this process. Baldness can manifest in different forms, with the most common type being androgenetic alopecia, which affects both men and women. The Mechanism of Hair Loss The mechanism of hair loss is generally complex, and for a long time, it was explained primarily as a consequence of the destruction of hair follicles. However, recent research suggests that the problem is much more complicated than…

New Vessels Can Be Created Instead of Damaged Areas
The modern medical field is constantly seeking new ways to treat diseases and enhance the effectiveness of healing. The alarming spread of cardiovascular issues is particularly concerning, as these diseases rank among the leading causes of death worldwide. Adequate blood supply is essential for the healthy functioning of the heart, brain, and other vital organs, which, however, can be seriously threatened by various factors such as atherosclerosis or thrombosis. Researchers are continuously developing new solutions to address these problems. Recent advancements in the field of nanotechnology are especially promising, as they may provide opportunities to grow new blood vessels, thereby restoring blood supply in damaged areas. The scientific community’s new…

Treatment of Spinal Cord Injury Using mRNA Technology
The treatment of spinal cord injuries presents a significant challenge for science and medicine. The inflammatory processes that occur as a result of the injuries can damage not only the injured area but also the surrounding healthy tissues. Therefore, it is crucial to perform effective interventions as soon as possible. The time factor plays a prominent role in the success of recovery, as delays can further worsen the injured condition. To reduce inflammation and promote regeneration, numerous research efforts are underway worldwide. The Neuroregeneration Laboratory at the University of Szeged, led by Professor Antal Nógrádi, has been working for years on more effective treatments for spinal cord injuries. By applying…

Knee Osteoarthritis: Treatment Methods for Cartilage Regeneration
Knee pain, particularly due to osteoarthritis, significantly impacts the lives of many people, especially among middle-aged and older adults. The wear and inflammation of the joints are common issues that can lead to limited mobility and make daily activities more challenging. The source of the pain often lies in the thinning and wearing of cartilage, which causes the bones to rub against each other, resulting in continuous and prolonged discomfort. Treatment of Knee Pain The treatment of knee pain may require a variety of approaches. Lifestyle changes, such as regular exercise and weight loss, can be crucial in alleviating symptoms. Proper nutrition and physical therapy guided by a professional can…
