COPD is a progressive disease of the lungs caused by an obstructed flow of oxygen creating an inflammatory response that breaks down lung tissue. Stem cell therapy for COPD restores normal pulmonary function by introducing cells that will regenerate tissue.

Children with autism often have severely suppressed immune systems, chronic inflammation and suffer from autoimmune responses. (umbilical) cord blood stem cells have been shown to improve blood flow to the brain, and thus improved central nervous system functioning; mesenchymal stem cells can suppress/address the fundamental immune abnormalities typical of autism.

25 million people have diabetes now; 70 million more are pre-diabetic. Type 2 Diabetes is linked to cancer and kidney failure and is the #1 cause of blindness and amputation in adulthood. Diabetics using stem-cell therapy have been able to stop taking insulin injections for the first time, after their bodies started to produce the hormone naturally again, suggesting that insulin-dependent diabetics can be freed from reliance on needles by an injection of their own stem cells./ G6 O% O) @( [

Breast cancer stem cells are cells that fuel a tumor’s growth and are believed to be resistant to chemotherapies and radiation treatment, which researchers say may be the reason cancer so often returns after treatment. Researchers have discovered a link between inflammation and breast cancer stem cells that suggests a new way to target cells resistant to current treatments.+ O# d) X& W* M; ?$ }1 p3 O
! z! o9 A/ m6 k6 C
In addition to treating/preventing cancer, a breast cancer patient's own stem cells (adult, autologous) are used to regrow breast tissue after mastectomy surgery. Surgeons place a plastic mold under the skin where the breast has been removed; the mold is injected with stem cells drawn from the patient's adipose (fat) tissue. The new cells start to grow within six months to a year.) Y; e4 N) N: c+ o) E0 T5 o

A peripheral effect of stem cell therapy for treatment of disease is widely projected by stem cell industry 'insiders' to rapidly become the anti-aging treatment du jour, when the reason Sports Illustrated called stem cells the "fountain of youth' trickles down to the average man and woman, athletic and non: people not only look, feel and perform younger....in a way, they *are* younger.$ Z. d!

Early indications suggest a single rejuvenation treatment can last five years or more, compared to six months of Botox effect.9 B `; q$ X N

Congestive heart failure 充血性心力衰竭5 k* ~" g! @# w! Z- C: _: o
Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is a chronic progressive disease for which there is no cure. Patients wiht CHF take, on average, 19 medications per day, for an average of 5-10 years, at an average cost of $100 per prescription. The medications can only be expected to stop the disease from progressing. Stem cells replaces scar tissue with normal cardiac muscle tissue as well as increase the contractility and ejection fraction of the heart muscle, which stimulates normal blood flow.
