Stem Cells future hope for Regenerative Medicine
	"Regenerative medicine" is the next evolution of medical treatments. This revolutionary technology has the potential to develop therapies for previously untreatable diseases
and conditions. Examples of diseases regenerative medicine can cure include diabetes, heart disease, renal failure, osteoporosis and spinal cord injuries." - National Institutes of Health.

Emerging Stem Cell Applications

• Diabetes

• Heart Disease

• Liver Disease

• Muscular Dystrophy

• Parkinson's Disease

• Spinal Cord Injury

• Stroke

Regenerative Medicine - The power of cord blood stem cells

Regenerative medicine is a revolutionary approach that focuses on curing conditions as opposed to treating their symptoms. Regenerative medicine empowers doctors with the ability to replace damaged tissue in patients with healthy organic tissue that is accepted and functions like - the body's own-. What truly differentiates regenerative medicine from many current therapies is that regenerative medicine has the potential to provide a cure (for) failing or impaired tissues.- (U.S. Department of health and Human Services, 2005)

New treatments with cord blood focus on regenerative medicine, where doctors use stem cells to repair damaged tissues and organs in the body. This emerging field of medicine is directed at treatments for conditions such as brain injury and juvenile diabetes, which have no cure today

Brain Injury

In The USA several centers has participated in groundbreaking clinical research to utilize cord blood stem cells to improve outcomes after brain injury. Circumstances of treatment include anoxic brain injury at birth, cerebral palsy, and traumatic brain injury.

Juvenile Diabetes

Research conducted at the University of Florida indicated the potential for the use of cord blood stem cells to regenerate insulin production in juvenile diabetes patients. Results were very promissing

Heart Disease & Conditions

In a 2005 meeting of the International Society for Stem Cell Research, results were presented suggesting the potential for cord blood stem cells to improve outcomes in human patients following heart attack. Data showed that in an animal model of heart attack, intracoronary delivery of cord blood stem cells increased the vascular density in the heart compared to untreated animals.
