WHAT ARE STEM CELLS

WHAT ARE STEM CELLS


STEM CELLS CAN SELF GUIDE INTO A DISEASED AREA OF THE BODY, REPLICATE, REDUCE PAIN RELATED ARTHRITIS, RESTORE NERVE FUNCTION AND BECOME A NATURAL REMEDY FOR DEGENERATIVE AND AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE.

You have heard a lot about stem cells in the news and perhaps you’ve wondered if they might help you or your loved one with a serious disease. You may wonder what stem cells are, how they’re being used to treat disease, injuries and various aging related problems.

Stem cells are the body’s raw materials – cells from which all other cells with specialized function are generated. Under the right condition either in the body or in a laboratory, stem cells replicate to form more cells either become new stem cells (self-renewal) or become specialized cells (differentiation) with a more specific function, such as blood cells, brain cells, heart cells etc. As an adult, we have stem cells naturally all over our bodies. We depend on these healthy stem cells constantly to naturally repair or replace diseased cells (regenerative medicine).

Studies have shown that in a population of Alzheimer’s disease and coronary artery disease patients there is a significant reduction in the number of endothelial precursor cells (a type of stem cell) in the body. Endothelial precursors cells are believed to be responsible for blood vessel formation. With the reduction of endothelial precursor cells causing a reduction of vascularity in the body would also contribute to erectile dysfunction in male or hypertension.

Therefore, By Giving Back The Stem Cells That Are Much Needed Would Have Tremendous Health Benefits.

WHERE DO WE GET THE STEM CELLS

COMPARISON OF STEM CELLS
WE OBTAIN STEM CELLS FROM PERIPHERAL BLOOD, ADIPOSE TISSUE AND BONE MARROW

TYPE ORIGIN EXTRACTION METHOD RISK ANALYSIS
Embryonic Stem Cell (hESC) Inner Cell Mass (ICM) of Embryo
(Allogenic)
Cultivate the inner cell mass in the fertilized egg
  • Scarce source.
  • Risk of cell variability and carcinogenicity.
  • Great moral controversy.
induced Pluripotent Stem Cell (iPS) Induced from Epidermic Cell
(Autologous)
Made from genetically introduced into adult cells
  • Low successful rate in induction.
  • Risk of cell variability and carcinogenicity.
Dental Pulp Stem Cells (hDPSCs) Deciduous teeth, gums, periodontal ligaments, wisdom teeth
(Autologous)
Natural loss (deciduous teeth) or mannually obtained (gum, periodontal ligament, wisdom tooth)
  • The number of cells is too low to meet medical needs.
  • still need to be expanded when in need.
Bone Marrow Stem Cell (BMSC) Bone Marrow
(Autologous/ Allogenic)
Bone marrow aspiration
  • Bone marrow puncture surgery requires general anesthesia, high risk of invasiveness.
  • The wound is susceptible to infection and requires hospitalization for a longer recovery time.
  • Limited number of cells and punctures.
Adipose Stem Cell (ADSC) Fat
(Autologous)
Liposuction (surgical) procedures
  • Wound is susceptible to infection.
  • Longer recovery time after surgery.
Peripheral Blood Stem Cell (PBSC) Peripheral blood (Autologous) Apheresis procedures
  • Physical conditions and responses will affect PBSC harvest.
