...t will help scientists to use stem cells to repair diseased or damaged organs. The embryonic stem cells is almost like a magic cell that can give rise to all the different cell types found in the human body. The current thought process is that it can regenerate specific regions of the body, such as the brain ...Cryosurgery – Freeze Therapy For Lung Cance

The cryosurgery procedure involves making a cut of about 12 cm in the chest wall so the probe can be advanced directly onto the tumour which makes the tumor...Endoscopic Thyroidectomy Helps In Removing Thyroid Cysts

Researchers say the results on these mouse adult stem cells are encouraging however they say the usefulness of such an approach in humans will...... use is for the treatment of gum disease to remove diseased tissue. With lasers, there is no need for anesthesia or a drill and that eliminates the "harrowing" noise that comes with other dental equipment.
