Every day, billions of cells in the human body die. If the body didn’t have a way to replace those cells, we wouldn’t live very long. Why? Consider these cellular life-spans: Liver cells, for example, only live for about a year and a half. For red blood cells, it’s only…

Today, in our fourth installment of our “Let’s Talk Stem Cells” series, we’re going to talk about how stem cells hijack other cells to make them do the stem cells’ chores. They do this by targeting other cells and firing exosomes at these cells. So what in the world is…

In part 3 of our “Let’s Talk Stem Cells” series, we’re going to talk about how stem cells delegate repair tasks to other cells to help with healing. Based on older research, it was initially believed that stem cells accomplished this only through differentiation (i.e., transforming into and then replacing…

At the Centeno-Schultz Clinic, we acknowledge that headache pain can be disabling. It can rob you of your ability to engage in and love life and render you incapable of completing the easiest of tasks. Headaches can arise from a number of stimuli, which include but are not limited to…

Continuing in our “Let’s Talk Stem Cells” series, today we’re covering part 2 in which we’ll explain how your stem cells deactivate bad cells. In particular, we are going to look at macrophage and microglial cells, our body’s clean-up crew. Unfortunately, sometimes these clean-freak cells can go rogue and attack…
