BACKGROUND: Myocardial infarction (MI) due to coronary artery disease remains one of the leading causes of premature death. Replacement of infarcted heart tissue with regenerating myocardium from endogenous progenitor pools or exogenously introduced stem cells remains a therapeutic ideal. Their impracticality mainly lies in their low efficiency in ...
Muscle repair following severe injury is slow and incomplete due to the limited regenerative capacity of muscles comprising the function. In this study, one pure compound structurally corresponding to triterpenoid, which can directly induce the activation, proliferation and maturation of quiescent satellite cells into myocytes in vitro, was isolate...

Now that celiac disease has been allowed official entry into the pantheon of established medical conditions, and gluten intolerance is no longer entirely a fringe medical concept, the time has come to draw attention to the powerful little chemical in wheat known as 'wheat germ agglutinin' (WGA) which is largely responsible for many of wheat's per...
It may come as a surprise to some, especially those with conventional medical training, but the default state of the body is one of ceaseless regeneration. Without the flame-like process of continual cell turnover within the body - life and death ceaselessly intertwined - the miracle of the human body would not exist
In times of illness, however...
While technically a berry, pomegranate "fruit" may be nature's answer to turning the tide against the #1 cause of death in the industrialized world: heart disease. Let's start with what it tells us simply through experiencing it...
Pomegranate has a remarkable astringency, giving your mouth and gums that dry, puckering mouth feel. This cleansing...
Groundbreaking research published in the Journal of the Medical Association of Thailand found that curcumin, the primary polyphenol in turmeric, is capable of repairing and even regenerating the liver tissues of diabetic rats
The research was performed at Srinakharinwirot University in Bangkok, Thailand. The administration of curcumin to diabeti...
Heart disease, while still the #1 cause of mortality in the developed world, can be prevented and even reversed with nutritional interventions, according to a growing body of scientific research we're indexing on GreenMedInfo.com
Considering that heart disease is the #1 cause of death in the developed world, anything that can prevent or red...
