Continence is a physical state that is maintained whenever urethral pressure exceeds bladder pressure inside the body.  Now, stem cell technology may offer a new solution for patients suffering from stress incontinence.  The transplant itself takes only five minutes, and 60 percent of patients experience improvement within the first year. Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Calgary are still studying the procedure, which may one day help men who become incontinent after prostate surgery. <a href="http://www.cellmedicine.com/news180.asp" TARGET="_blank">Read More</a>]]></description>

A contentious topic in modern medicine, stem cell research is much debated.  Embryonic stem cells and the controversy surrounding them has sparked curiosity in a less risky and more ethical option: using stem cells taken from adults to treat various diseases.  Adult stem cells, especially those stored from cord blood, are a bio-insurance for future use; and one that might just save your life.  Through safe and non-invasive procedures, adults now have the option to collect and save their own cells. <a href="http://www.cellmedicine.com/news63.asp" TARGET="_blank">Read More</a>]]></description>
