Health is a unity and harmony within the mind, body and spirit which is unique to each person, and is as defined by that person. The level of wellness or health is, in part, determined by the ability to deal with and defend against stress. Health is determined by physiological, psychological, socio-cultural, spiritual, and developmental stage variables.
Regeneration Regeneration articles1. Stem Cell :: Stem cells from testes produce wide range of tissue typesAfter a decade of research, Howard Hughes Medical Institute scientists have succeeded in reprogramming adult stem cells from the testes of male mice into functional blood vessels and contractile cardiac tissue. The research offers a promising new source of stem cells for use in organ regeneration studies. 2. Brain :: Milestone in the regeneration of brain cells The majority of cells in the human brain are not nerve cells but star-shaped glia cells, the so called ?astroglia?. ?Glia means ?glue?, explains G?tz. ?As befits their name, until now these cells have been regarded merely as a kind of ?putty? keeping the nerve cells together. 3. Heart Attack :: Cardiac patches stimulate regeneration, improve function after heart attack When human hearts are injured, as during a heart attack, healthy tissue normally can?t regrow. Researchers now demonstrate in rats that a sponge-like patch, soaked in a compound called periostin and placed over the injury, can not only get heart cells to begin dividing and making copies of themselves again, but also improves heart function. 4. Stem Cell :: Scientists identify a mouse embryonic stem cell more like our own Scientists have discovered a new type of mouse embryonic stem cell that is the closest counterpart yet to human embryonic stem cells, the National Institutes of Health announced today. The cells are expected to serve as an improved model for human ES cells in studies of regeneration, disease pathology and basic stem cell biology. 5. Neurology :: Nanomedicine opens the way for nerve cell regeneration The ability to regenerate nerve cells in the body could reduce the effects of trauma and disease in a dramatic way. |
