StemCell Therapy

A single cell that can replicate itself and differentiate into many cell types. Therefore it is called the master cell of our body. When a stem cell divides, each new cell has the potential to remain a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more specialized function i.e. muscle cell, red blood cell, liver cell, brain cell, etc.Stem cells exhibit inherent properties of plasticity, homing, engraftment and self renewal. This capacity to regenerate into various cell types holdshuge clinical potentials.

Stem Cell is the master cell of our and can give rise to any kind of cells. Ideally stem cells are classified as embryonic, adult, foetal and induced pluripotent stem cells. Stem Cells are pluripotent, totipotent and multipoint.

Regenerative cell functions include:

Mainly stem cells are of two types: embryonic and adult. We use adult stem cells for treatment which are found inbone marrow, adipose tissue, peripheral blood, dental pulp, cord blood, menstrual blood etc.

Cells removed from a patient and replaced during the same surgical procedure pose no greater risk of disease transmission than the surgery itself. FDA Regulation of Stem Cell Based Therapies, Halme and Kessler, New England Journal of Medicine, 2006.

The fat from the mini- liposuction is processed using a combination of centrifuge and incubation.Cellular compositions of the SVF areadult mesenchymal stem cells, pre-adipocytes, endothelial cells (thin layer of cells that lines the interior surface of blood vessels), smooth muscle cells, connective tissue, fibroblasts, growth factors.
