Metastasis is known to be the leading cause of cancer-related death. Cancer cells enter blood vessels and lymphatic vessels from where they first formed, travel along the blood and lymph flow to another organ or multiple organs, and multiply there. The most common cases are metastasis to lymph nodes where the flow of lymph fluid […]
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a source of cell-based therapeutics, as MSCs have tissue regeneration potential. For example, one of the characteristics of mesenchymal stem cells is that they are introduced into the patient’s body at a stage just before they become the target cells. As a result, they differentiate into the target cells in […]
The skin is the largest organ in the human body. It protects the body as a barrier from external stimuli such as particulate matter, chemicals, and ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Ultraviolet radiation from sunlight is one of the main environmental factors that cause skin damage, a process called photoaging. It can cause sunburn, erythema, skin aging, […]
Lung cancer is the second most common cancer worldwide, and the number of cases continues to increase yearly. It causes long-term coughing and chest infections and is one of the deadliest cancers. Conventional chemotherapy and radiation therapy cause serious problems such as decreased white blood cell count, increased risk of infection, and burden on heart […]
In recent years, Osteoarthritis (OA) has become one of the most common disorders among the elderly, especially women. Articular cartilage covering the joint surface mainly includes chondrocytes, extra-articular type 2 collagen, and proteoglycan (glycoprotein). Articular cartilage has no blood circulation or nerve fiber distribution. Cartilage degeneration and wear occur due to mechanical stimulation and similar […]
Oral cancer is one of the most common head and neck cancers. However, the frequency of occurrence is about 1 to 3% of all cancers, which is not very high. Unlike other cancers, early detection is easy in such types of cancers because the affected area can be seen directly. Sadly, people hardly notice or […]
An osteosarcoma is a diverse group of malignant spindle cell tumors characterized by the formation of immature bone called osteoid. In this condition, the treatment with painful side effects often lasts a year or more. On a positive note, Fucoidan a natural supplement is known to aid in many similar diagnoses. Fucoidan extracted brown algae […]
The function of saliva is to help digest food, and chewing well helps prevent overeating. It also has a cleansing action of washing away food debris and keeping the mouth clean, neutralizing the oral cavity, and preventing tooth decay. Researchers have discovered many bacteria are in the mouth, and substances such as lysozyme and lactoferrin […]
In “The Human Microbiome,” the University of Washinton mentioned that the microbiome is a community of microorganisms such as fungi, bacteria, and viruses that exist in a specific environment. Bacteria in our microbiome digest our food, regulate our immune system, protect against other disease-causing bacteria, and help produce vitamins such as B vitamins B12, thiamine, […]
