Nearly everyone has been affected by COVID-19 in one way or another, not just through the immediate health crisis, but also in the form of long-term health issues that many are still facing today. Such symptoms can go on for months after the person has recovered from the virus and involve fatigue, brain fog, difficulty breathing, and many more. This has left many wondering when or if they will find relief from these symptoms that last for months.
But stem cell research is offering hope. This recent article from the DVC STEM blog covers stem cell-based therapies which are are showing promise in treating long COVID. The researchers have found that stem cells, which can regenerate damaged tissues and reduce inflammation, may be able to target the root causes of long COVID, including lingering viral particles and immune system dysfunction.
This emerging treatment, which is still in early clinical trial stages, has already shown positive results in helping patients recover from the lingering effects of COVID-19. This approach could potentially ease the fatigue, breathing difficulties, and cognitive impairments that many long COVID patients struggle with.
Stem cells offer the potential to impact millions who have been suffering without clear solutions. With COVID continuing to affect individuals worldwide, this could be the first real step toward a lasting treatment that addresses the core issues.
Read on to find out more about these development and how it could change the future of post-COVID care.
