What is Degenerative Disease?
A degenerative disease is a disease in which deterioration of structure or function of tissue occurs mostly due to aging. Degenerative diseases are different from infectious diseases and patients can often live for years with them. Diseases which can be considered degenerative are arthritis, Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease, Cancer, spinal cord injuries, diabetes, heart diseases, inflammatory bowel disease and many more. Most of these diseases remain undiagnosed for considerable period because the symptoms are considered as the sign of aging. People encountering any of these mostly opt for conventional treatment which means intake of heavy drugs and risk of side effects.
Researchers have found a new way to treat these types of diseases and that is "Stem Cell Therapy or Treatment". This therapy or treatment can help in most of the diseases which are signs of aging and can help you look and feel younger.
What is Stem Cell?
Unspecialized cells that have ability to turn into any other type of tissue in the body. This ability of stem cells can be used in regenerating any type of cell or tissue in the body. For example, stem cell from bone marrow, on receiving chemical signals, can be transformed into specialized cells such as neuron or nerve cell in the brain. They are found in most of the multi-cellular organisms and have the ability to regenerate themselves by mitosis and differentiation.
Degenerative diseases are the signs of aging and stem cell can be the answer to most of these diseases. These type of therapy is fast becoming popular in the anti-aging treatment sector. This therapy helps in regenerating the dead cells of the body and helps the body in fighting the diseases which were once considered incurable. This therapy is also used in removing or reducing the wrinkles of the skin which appear because of aging. This is done by regenerating the cells of the skin and thereby improving the appearance of the skin. It is believed that this technology is the future of cosmetic and wellness industry.
Physicians and surgeons believe that stem cell technology is going to be a big thing in future and will have great impact on cosmetic and wellness industry and will change the overall medical industry. Any disease in which there is degeneration of organ or tissue is the potential candidate for this treatment. The treatment has also become popular for body rejuvenation or for slowing down the aging process. Some people also simply choose the treatment as a precaution, or prevention strategy, so as to ward off any possible degenerative disease such as diabetes, arthritis, or Alzheimer's.
