Vitamins for Tissue Repair   Cells make up every part of our body, and they require many nutrients to grow and repair properly. Directly or indirectly all vitamins play a role as a type of nutrient in tissue repair and growth. Some nutrients contribute directly to developing healthy muscles, skin, hair and bones, as well as general repair during injuries. Vitamin A Vitamin A is frequently two types observed in the diet. One is derived from animal merchandise and is regarded as preformed diet A, and the second one from plants, recognized as beta carotene. Vitamin A helps generate and maintain healthy body tissue, teeth, bones along with skin, mucous membranes and soft tissue. Vitamin A has various integral functions, such as assisting in the health of cells. Vitamin A helps ensure that all of body cells can develop and reproduce normally, a process recognized as cellular differentiation , and it contributes to healing and repairs as well. Vitamin A also helps in boost he

Stem Cell based Therapies for Lung diseases: Current advancements in stem cell research allow cell-based therapies in the treatment of lung diseases.   Cell-based therapies using stem cells to regenerate lung tissue have experienced a rapid growth. Stem cells are a population of undifferentiated cells characterized by three main functions: 1) ability of self-renew 2) clonality generally arising from a single cell 3) potency to differentiate into different type of cells or tissues. Pluripotent stem cells have the ability to generate all lineages of body and include embryonic stem (ES) cells and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS). Adult lung is architecturally complex as a hierarchical model of homoeostasis, and is made up of more than 40 distinct types of cells and it is possible to produce part of the upper, lower airway or the alveolar tissue.   Significant progress has recently been achieved using decellularized or synthetic scaffolds to generate tracheal cartilage as we

Inflammation in Wound Repair: Wound healing is a highly dynamic process and involves complex interactions of extracellular matrix molecules, soluble mediators, various resident cells, and infiltrating leukocyte subtypes. Inflammatory response is a certain consequence of tissue injury. Inflammation is essential to the establishment of cutaneous homeostasis injury and specific subsets of inflammatory cell lineages and the cytokine network orchestrating inflammation associated with tissue repair. The healing process contains three phases that overlap in time and space: inflammation, tissue formation, and tissue remodeling. Throughout the inflammatory phase, platelet aggregation is tailed by infiltration of leukocytes into the wound site. In tissue formation, epithelialization and newly formed granulation tissue, consisting of endothelial cells, macrophages and fibroblasts, begin to cover and fill the wound area to restore tissue integrity. These (synthesis, remodeling, and depositi
