Key Takeaways A new randomized trial tested injecting mesenchymal stem cells into the spinal fluid of 18 people with progressive MS. The trial’s main measure of nerve repair did not improve. The result was not statistically significant. Some secondary signals looked promising at six months but faded by twelve months.
Key Takeaways Stem cell therapy for sports injuries is often explored for meniscus tears that have not responded well to rest, physio, or PRP alone. A 2026 phase III trial found that stem cells paired with meniscus repair surgery led to sustained improvements in knee function over two years. Stem
Key Takeaways Stem cell therapy for stroke is studied differently depending on timing. Acute and chronic stroke trials ask different questions. Most acute stroke research focuses on safety within the first days after a stroke, while chronic stroke trials often measure functional improvement months or years later. A landmark 2-year
Key Takeaways Stem cell therapy for joint pain is often considered after PRP injections and physio have not given lasting relief. Stem cells and PRP work differently. PRP concentrates your own platelets, while stem cells can directly support tissue regeneration. A 2025 meta-analysis of 8 trials found stem cell injections
Key Takeaways Anti-aging stem cell therapy works best when paired with good sleep, as deep sleep helps direct stem cell repair. An anti-inflammatory diet lowers oxidative stress and supports the growth factors that stem cells release during repair. Regular exercise mobilizes your body’s own progenitor cells and may improve the
Key Takeaways Biologic therapies help many people with Crohn’s disease, but some patients stop responding over time or cannot tolerate them. Mesenchymal stem cells are the main type of stem cell treatments studied for Crohn’s, particularly for complex perianal fistulas. The only stem cell product ever approved for Crohn’s fistulas
Key Takeaways Traumatic brain injury (TBI) often causes lasting neurological deficits, since the brain has limited ability to repair itself after trauma. Stem cell therapy is being studied as a supportive treatment option that may calm inflammation and support the brain’s own repair signals. A Phase 2 controlled trial found
Key Takeaways The liver can repair itself to a point, but chronic liver diseases like cirrhosis eventually overwhelm that natural ability. Mesenchymal stem cell therapy is being studied as a supportive option, working mainly through anti inflammatory and immune-calming effects. One randomized trial found a real survival benefit in patients
Key Takeaways Mesenchymal stem cells MSCs are the main type of stem cell studied for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pulmonary fibrosis. The largest controlled trial found stem cell infusions safe and effective to receive, but did not show clear improving lung function results overall. A smaller trial using
Key Takeaways Knee osteoarthritis wears down articular cartilage, causing pain and stiffness that worsens over time. A 2025 systematic review and meta-analysis of 502 patients found stem cell injections significantly improved pain and function scores versus controls. Cell source mattered in that analysis. Adipose-derived cells showed clearer benefit than bone
