Japan has granted world-first approval for two stem cell–based regenerative therapies, one for Parkinson’s disease and one for severe heart failure. The Parkinson’s treatment uses induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) that are converted into dopamine-producing neurons and transplanted into the brain to replace cells lost during the disease. The heart failure therapy involves placing sheets of stem cell–derived heart muscle cells onto the heart, which may help restore cardiac function by promoting tissue repair and new blood vessel growth. Both therapies received conditional approval, meaning they can be used clinically while researchers continue to collect additional safety and effectiveness data from patients.
A study from the University of Gothenburg has identified two gut bacteria species, Limosilactobacillus mucosae and Ligilactobacillus ruminis, that can work together to produce serotonin. In animal experiments, these bacteria increased intestinal serotonin levels, boosted nerve cells in the colon, and normalized gut motility. Notably, IBS patients were found to have lower levels of one of these bacteria. This discovery suggests gut microbes could be a powerful new target for treating digestive disorders like IBS.
Menopause is a natural phase in a woman's life, but its symptoms extend far beyond the commonly known hot flushes and night sweats.
