Dentures are sufficient, but they're uncomfortable and dental implants can fail and have no ability to "remodel" as the surrounding jaw bone changes with age.
Université libre de Bruxelles(ULB) scientists found stem cell dynamics can contribute to wound healing. when skin gets a hurt then body activates cellular and molecular event to repair the damage.
An exciting breakthrough in stem cell research was just announced by the University of Toronto. Using a gel-like biomaterial, scientists were able to prolong the lives of stem cells, improve their integration in living tissues, improve motor coordination following stroke, and even restore partial vision to the blind.

Creating 3D Neural Circuits for Research, Implantation Any damage to the nervous system can be permanent and devastating. One of the issues is that neurons aren't really that great at regenerating.
Breakthrough in Stem Cell Treatment of the Liver Liver disease is extremely difficult to treat. It can result from both genetic and environmental factors, including a poor diet or excess alcohol use.
Spinal Cord Injury Repaired in Mice Spinal cord injuries are extremely tragic, often leading to irreversible paralysis. Many groups around the world are pursuing various treatment options.
New Insights into Adult Blood Stem Cells If you follow medical news at all, you probably hear a lot about stem cells. Usually it's embryonic or induced pluripotent stem cells that get most of the attention.
So before you get that appointment to remove your wisdom teeth, make sure you read this article because according to recent research, your wisdom teeth can literally help you from permanent blindness.
