Stem cell therapy, a cornerstone of regenerative medicine, plays a pivotal role in promoting cellular rejuvenation and the healing of tissues. Alongside growth elements and antioxidants, stem cell therapy demonstrates vast potential in combating a broad spectrum of diseases.

​

What are Stem Cells?

​

Stem cells, the mature cells with the capacity to evolve into specialized cell categories, are primarily multipotent. These multipotent stem cells are integral to doctors' efforts to heal damaged or ailing tissues.

​

​

What are the different types of Stem Cells?

​

Different types of stem cells are derived from several sources, including human umbilical cord tissue and blood, adipose tissue, and bone marrow, each providing mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).

​

Bone marrow-derived MSCs (BMSCs), extracted via aspiration, are commonly used in bone marrow transplants, particularly for patients with leukemia or specific hematopoietic diseases.

Adipose-derived MSCs (AMSCs), harvested through liposuction from a patient's own fat tissue, present a minimally invasive, safe, and quick way to collect MSCs.

Umbilical cord-derived MSCs (HUCT-MSCs) are utilized for treating certain neurodegenerative, autoimmune, and inflammatory diseases.

Stem cell therapy works by utilizing the regenerative ability of MSCs. MSCs help to regenerate damaged tissue, modulate the immune system, release growth factors, cytokines and chemokines, reduce inflammation, and stimulate the growth of new blood vessels, thus improving blood flow.
