Ophthalmology

In recent years the stem cell science has increasingly focused on mitigating the loss of vision through Ophthalmology. Cell based therapies are showing tremendous promise in mitigating many acquired and hereditary vision problems. Age Related Macular Degeneration in particular is under scrutiny as a condition that is likely to respond to adult mesenchymal cell therapy.…

Asthma

Asthma is a common chronic inflammatory disease of the airways characterized by symptoms including wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath, reversible airflow obstruction, and bronchospasm. Asthma is clinically classified according to the frequency of symptoms, forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), and peak expiratory flow rate. Asthma may also be classified as…

Post MI Myocardial Infarction

Myocardial infarction (also known as heart attack) is responsible for significant cardiac destruction due to ischemia (lack of blood flow). This can lead to further or recurrent infarct and chronic angina. This problem is caused most commonly by coronary vessel disease which is very common in the United States and associated with significant morbidity. Post…
