If you have any conditions below that can be helped with stem cell therapy, please don’t hesitate to contact us any time!
Stem cells are cells with self-renewal and multiple differentiation potential properties in the human body and have the potential function of regenerating various tissues and organs and the human body. They are called the “all-purpose cells” in medical fields.
Stem cells are mainly derived from embryos, fetal tissue (umbilical cord blood, umbilical cord, amniotic membrane, etc.), bone marrow, tooth pulp, and adipose tissue, etc.
Under certain circumstances, stem cells can be induced to differentiate into more than 220 types of functional cells that make up the human body, such as a neuron, hepatocytes (liver cells), and cardiomyocytes (heart cells). Stem cells are the source cells that form all kinds of tissues and organs in our body.
Stem cell therapy is a set of well-established processes from extracting the cells to transplant cells into patients’ bodies, usually including the following steps, stem cell extraction, in vitro stem cell culture and expansion, induced differentiation, and finally transplant of the new, healthy, and younger stem cells into patients’ body with special techniques.
The transplanted stem cells will replace cells that were lost through apoptosis (normal cell death) or necrosis(abnormal cell death), thus restoring homeostasis in the body. Recently, there has been more and more successful cases of treating various of disease with stem cell therapy all over the world.
The major mechanism of stem cell therapy is that stem cells will migrate to the injured/damaged tissue or organ with their homing effect once transplanted into the patient’s body, then they will differentiate into functional cells to repair the damaged tissue and regulate the immuno-microenvironment to further facilitate tissue regeneration. Stem cell therapy can be utilized to treat various diseases, such as neural system diseases, endocrine system diseases, bone diseases, cardiovascular/cerebrovascular diseases, and autoimmune diseases.
stem cells will replace the dead and damaged cells to repair tissue/organs.
stem cells will activate dormant cells or cells under inhibitory conditions.
Stem cells will secret autotrophic factors, anti-apoptotic factors, and other proteins that will help to reduce tissue inflammation. Those factors will also activate the endogenous stem cells of injured tissue to enhance and accelerate the tissue healing process.
stem cells will help repair the damaged cells and tissues by regulating or producing cytokines, at the same time, inhibiting the immune reaction triggered by the damaged cells, thus eliminating the source of the diseases.
stem cell therapy will induce the restoration of intercellular electrical conduction capacity, for example, the mesenchymal stem cells will help establish intercellular connections and ion channels activation through secretion of connexin.
Stem cell therapy can treat a variety of diseases, such as neural system diseases, endocrine system diseases, bone diseases, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, etc., as it possesses incomparable advantages over conventional therapies:
