Where are The Stem Cells?
Where are they?
Stem cells can be found in many body tissues such as bone marrow, fat, blood and other organs like the heart.
You can find more immature stem cells in the embryo, as well as in umbilical cord blood of a newborn baby. Are commonly used bone marrow isolated in our clinical trials.
What diseases can be treated with stem cells?
According to their origin, stem cells have been studied as a possible treatment strategy for many diseases like diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, burns, spinal cord injury and, more specifically heart disease.Recently, numerous studies have shown the potential benefit of implanting stem cells into the heart.
Stem cell therapy is an investigational therapy and, therefore, can not be any definitive statement about the benefit to a specific disease.
How do they work?
It is unclear exactly how stem cells. They can differentiate into cells that surround them (a stem cell that is placed on the heart can be transformed into another cell rate), can release hormones that help the surrounding tissue to function more efficiently, or can awaken dormant stem cells in the tissue.
How are the stem cells to treat cardiovascular disease?
Stem cells can be injected into the veins, arteries or directly into the heart muscle. After more than 400 injections safely applied directly introducing the stem cells inside the heart, researchers are developing numerous procedures on patients worldwide.
In peripheral vascular disease, stem cells can be injected into veins, arteries or directly into the muscles of the lower leg in hopes of regenerating new blood vessels.
