Chemo & Immunotherapy

Chemo & Immunotherapy - Interplay

Chemotherapy is the first line of treatment used for cancer patients along with surgery. Various combinational strategies are employed to counter the progression of the disease but as the tumor progresses it acquires drug resistance and limits its efficacy. The cancer cells develop evading mechanism to escape the cytotoxic effects of drugs, rendering them ineffective. The major reasons of development drug resistance include selective gene amplifications at the cellular level and changes in genes in some cancer cells. Additionally, the progressive disease causes change in tumor microenvironment leading to immunosuppression enabling the cells to bypass the immune check. Overall, this leads to an unrestricted progression of the disease.

Under such conditions, immunotherapeutic agents can play a significant role to work synergistically with chemotherapy to generate favorable outcomes. Let’s find out how?

Reforming Hair Loss Treatment With Stem Cells

Losing hair can be very frustrating and insulting, and for years, people have been looking for different methods to treat hair loss effectively. Presently, people mainly rely on hair transplant to treat hair loss problem. However, things are going to change for the better in the near future, with the advent of stem cell therapy for Hair Loss Treatment . Research and tests suggest that this can be a very viable treatment to cure hair loss. The procedure is non-surgical and it helps in stimulating and re-growing the hair follicles. The existing methods vs. the new method of hair loss treatment On one hand where the existing methods of Hair Loss Treatment depends on transplantation of hair follicles from one section to another section of your head, the stem cell therapy, on the other hand, provides an infinite source of stem cells taken from the patient. There is no limitation as far as availability of hair follicles is concerned. This kind of treatment will be the most benefi...

Know About Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)

Know About Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a type of adult stem cell found in several tissues in the body, including bone marrow, adipose tissue, and umbilical cord tissue. They have the ability to differentiate into multiple cell types, such as osteoblasts, chondrocytes, and adipocytes, which are responsible for bone, cartilage, and fat tissue formation, respectively. MSCs have gained significant attention in recent years due to their potential use in regenerative medicine. They have the ability to secrete various growth factors and cytokines that promote tissue repair and regeneration. Additionally, they have immunomodulatory properties that make them attractive candidates for treating autoimmune diseases and reducing inflammation. MSCs have been used in various preclinical and clinical trials to treat a wide range of conditions, including osteoarthritis, cardiovascular disease, and neurological disorders, among others. They can be isolated from...

Stem Cell Therapy for Liver Cirrhosis

Stem Cell Therapy for Liver Cirrhosis Stem cell therapy is a promising area of research for the treatment of liver cirrhosis. Liver cirrhosis is a progressive condition in which the liver becomes scarred and damaged, leading to a loss of liver function. This can be caused by a variety of factors, including chronic alcohol abuse, viral hepatitis, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Stem cells have the potential to regenerate damaged tissues and organs, including the liver. In the case of liver cirrhosis, stem cells can differentiate into liver cells and promote the growth of healthy tissue, thereby restoring liver function.
