Every year, World Rheumatic Disease Day raises awareness about chronic autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), systemic sclerosis, and Sjögren’s syndrome. These conditions not only affect joints and connective tissues but can also damage internal organs, causing significant pain and disability that impair quality of life.

World Arthritis Day (WAD) takes place every year on October 12—in 2025, it falls on Sunday— to spotlight the lived experiences of individuals affected by arthritis and related rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs). First launched in 1996 by Arthritis and Rheumatism International, and now supported worldwide by organizations like EULAR, WAD serves as a global platform to promote awareness, encourages early detection, advocate for effective treatments, and strengthen support for patients and caregivers.

Your heart is extraordinary. Day and night, without a break, it contracts more than 100,000 times a day to keep you alive. No machine we’ve ever built can match its endurance.
But what happens when this engine falters? For decades, medicine has relied on bypass surgeries, stents, and even transplants. These can save lives, but they’re more like rerouting the fuel lines than fixing the motor itself.

Tick-tock, tick-tock… every breath counts. Lung cancer remains one of the most devastating diseases worldwide, claiming millions of lives each year. Traditional therapies -surgery, chemotherapy, radiation- have advanced, yet challenges such as drug resistance, relapse, and reduced quality of life remain. Today, however, a new frontier is emerging: regenerative medicine and stem cell–based therapies

Every year on September 8th, the world observes World Cystic Fibrosis Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness of one of the most common inherited disorders and honoring the resilience of those who live with it. Cystic fibrosis (CF) affects more than 100,000 people worldwide, with thousands of new diagnoses each year.

This article explores the role of stem cells in gastritis and atrophic gastritis, examining their function in gastric mucosal repair and the impact of chronic inflammation. It also investigates stem cell dysregulation during atrophic progression and their potential as biomarkers of disease severity. By analyzing regenerative therapy prospects and challenges, this discussion highlights the biological significance and therapeutic potential of stem cells, considering the gastric microenvironment, particularly the gut microbiome as a critical determinant of success.

Imagine finishing a meal and hours later still feeling bloated, nauseous, or exhausted. For millions living with gastroparesis, this is a daily reality. Often called “delayed gastric emptying,” gastroparesis disrupts the normal movement of food from the stomach to the small intestine, leading to chronic nausea, vomiting, bloating, pain, and even malnutrition.

Lung cancer remains one of the most common and serious types of cancer worldwide. However, significant breakthroughs in science and medicine are giving us more tools than ever before to better understand, detect, and treat this complex disease.

The liver doesn’t get much attention until it stops working. Quietly, behind the scenes, it handles detoxification, regulation, and restoration. But when the liver begins to fail, everything changes. Suddenly, fatigue, jaundice, swelling, and brain fog aren’t just medical symptoms, they’re daily struggles that reshape lives.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a rapidly progressive neurodegenerative disease that primarily targets the motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. As these nerve cells die, people begin to have muscle weakness and difficulty with involuntary muscle functions such as speaking, breathing and swallowing. Life expectancy is estimated 3–5 years from symptom onset, however, there is substantial individual variation.

At Stemwell – Regenerative Medicine, our mission is to merge innovation with evidence-based science to improve outcomes for patients. As we observe the European Day for Skin Cancer Prevention on June 13th, we take this opportunity to raise awareness about sun safety and explore ongoing scientific research in regenerative medicine related to skin health.

Hypertension, a leading global health concern, contributes significantly to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Traditional antihypertensive treatments, while effective for many, do not address the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms in all patients. Recent advances in regenerative medicine have spotlighted stem cell and exosome therapies as promising avenues for innovative hypertension treatments

Digestive health is more than just a matter of comfort; it is central to whole-body wellness. The gut plays a pivotal role in regulating immunity, managing inflammation, and maintaining internal balance. Today, science clearly shows that when gut health is compromised, it can disrupt nearly every system in the body. Conversely, restoring gut integrity can unlock powerful pathways for healing and regeneration.

World Hemophilia Day, observed every April, is a global campaign to increase awareness of hemophilia and other inherited bleeding disorders. While the traditional management of hemophilia has focused on replacement therapy using clotting factor concentrates, recent advances in regenerative medicine and stem cell research are opening new avenues for potentially curative interventions.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition characterized by challenges in social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviors. Emerging research suggests that neuroinflammation and immune dysregulation may contribute to its pathophysiology (Hughes et al., 2022). At Stemwell Health in Bogotá, Colombia, we are dedicated to exploring advanced, evidence-based therapies, including stem cell therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), and integrative physical therapies, to support individuals with ASD.

On March 24th each year, World Tuberculosis (TB) Day serves as a global reminder of the ongoing battle against this persistent disease. Despite medical advancements, TB continues to pose a significant health threat, particularly in areas with limited access to healthcare.

Did you know that quality sleep is one of the most critical factors for overall health and longevity? Yet, millions struggle with sleep disorders, restless nights, and chronic fatigue, affecting their physical and mental well-being.

Did you know that the food you eat can directly impact your body’s ability to heal and regenerate? At Stemwell, we specialize in cutting-edge stem cell therapy, helping individuals harness the body’s natural regenerative potential. As we celebrate Nutrition Month, it’s the perfect time to explore how proper nutrition supports stem cell health—and how you can take the next step in optimizing your well-being with Stemwell’s advanced regenerative treatments.

As we approach the conclusion of the first month of the year, many individuals have steadfastly maintained their commitment to Dry January, which presents not only an opportunity to reset habits but also a chance to explore the science of how alcohol impacts cellular regeneration. From the skin we see in the mirror to the intricate workings of our liver, immune system, and even our DNA, alcohol’s far-reaching effects can have significant implications for health, longevity, and overall quality of life.
