Many stem cell researchers today focus on treatments for auto immune disease processes such as:

• Type 1 diabetes (aka Juvenile diabetes)
• Crohn’s disease
• Systemic Lupus
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Systemic vasculitis
• Multiple Sclerosis

Stem cell clinical trials and treatments are underway in the U.S., but other countries around the world, including Mexico, Japan, South Korea and Ukraine have long been leaders in the stem cell research field. Research for diseases treatments in stem cell technologies for other conditions is also under way, including treatments for cancer and cardiovascular issues, vision or ocular disease processes like retinitis pigmentosa and corneal regeneration, as well as musculoskeletal disorders like muscular dystrophy.

Hematopoietic stem cell therapies are ongoing for stem cell therapies for organ specific disease processes such as Type 1 diabetes, as well as nonspecific autoimmune disease processes like lupus, or those that cause damage to multiple organ systems or tissues.

PlacidWay, a leading medical provider based in Denver, Colorado, offers in-depth information regarding facilities located around the globe that focus on stem cell research, treatments and technologies for those suffering from a variety of disease processes, including autoimmune diseases such as those listed above.

Some of the most well known include EmCell, based in Kiev, Ukraine and American Stem Cell, located in Quinto, Ecuador, though others are located throughout South Korea, Western and Central Europe and Mexico and Latin America.
