These are cells with the ability to divide indefinitely to differentiate into specific cell types and replace those lost due to natural wear and tear, injury, or disease.
Mesenchymal stem cell therapy is a non-invasive treatment aimed at replacing damaged cells in the body.
This treatment can be administered intravenously or by local injection in specific areas, depending on the patient's needs.
Functions of stem cells:
Multipotency: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can differentiate into various cell types, making them valuable for regenerative medicine.
Immunomodulatory properties: MSCs They have the ability to modulate immune responses, which can be beneficial for the treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.
Tissue repair and regeneration: They play a crucial role in the repair and regeneration of damaged tissues thanks to their ability to differentiate.
Therapeutic applications:
Tissue regeneration and repair: They are valuable for the repair and regeneration of damaged tissues, especially in orthopedics (bone and cartilage repair) and wound healing.
Anti-inflammatory properties. Promotes healing in conditions such as arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, and other chronic inflammatory conditions.
Immunomodulation. They have the ability to modulate the immune system, reducing immune responses that can cause tissue damage.
Promotion of angiogenesis. They promote the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) by secreting factors that improve blood flow to damaged tissues.
Reduction of fibrosis. They can reduce fibrosis (the formation of excess fibrous connective tissue) in organs such as the liver and lungs, helping to maintain tissue function and prevent organ failure in conditions such as liver cirrhosis and pulmonary fibrosis.
What types of stem cells do we use?
At BCM, we use embryonic stem cells (ESCs), mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). These are distinct types of stem cells with unique properties and potential applications in regenerative medicine.
CCMs are beneficial for:
⤷ Skin rejuvenation and aesthetics
⤷ Hair regeneration
⤷ Joint and bone health
⤷ Muscle regeneration
⤷ Immune system modulation
⤷ Neuroprotection and cognitive function
⤷ Cardiovascular health
As research progresses, stem cells Mesenchymal stem cells could become a fundamental pillar of anti-aging therapies, offering new ways to improve health and longevity.
