JOINT INJURY 

The tissue regenerative properties of stem cells make them a unique tool for repairing cartilage after injury, serving as an alternative to surgery. Stem cells’ action on cartilage can reduce pain and improve joint function for patients who have suffered joint injuries.

BONE FRACTURES 

In the human body, stem cells participate in bone healing after a fracture. Harnessing their osteogenic properties, stem cell treatment can aid in bone union to improve fracture recovery.

ARTHRITIS 

Arthritis is a condition of the joints that can become debilitating due to pain and decreased range of motion. Stem cells are anti-inflammatory, allowing them to reduce the impact of arthritis. Studies that used stem cells to treat knee osteoarthritis have found the treatment to help patients to walk longer and climb more stairs.

PARKINSON’S DISEASE 

Patients who suffer from Parkinson’s Disease develop difficulties with motor skills due to a progressive reduction in the production of the neurotransmitter dopamine. Mesenchymal stem cells that differentiate to become dopamine secreting cells in the brain have an ability to reverse this decline and produce an improvement in motor skills.

HEART DISEASE 

In heart disease, a narrowing of the blood vessels that carry blood to the heart results in reduced delivery of oxygen and consequently, injury to the heart tissue. Stem cells have the ability to differentiate to regenerate heart muscle tissue that has been damaged by cardiovascular disease.

AUTOIMMUNE DISORDERS 

Autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus occur when a person’s immune system attacks the body’s cells as if they were foreign. Stem cell treatment introduces functional immune system cells and can improve the balance TH1 and TH2 cytokines. In fact, it has been shown to produce remission in lupus patients.
