Stem Cell Therapy
STEM CELL THERAPY
What Are Stem Cells?
This is a form of regenerative medicine designed to repair damaged cells within the body by reducing inflammation and modulating the immune system. We only administer Mesenchymal Stem Cells sourced from human umbilical cord or human placenta. The type of stem cell will depend strictly on the treatment protocol.
Stem cells are unspecialized cells characterized by their remarkable ability to self-renew and differentiate into specialized cell types with distinct functions. They serve as the building blocks of the human body, playing a vital role in tissue development, maintenance, and repair. Stem cells can be found throughout the body, and their unique properties make them a subject of intensive scientific research and medical exploration.
Our regenerative stem cell therapies promote tissue repair and regeneration, offering hope for patients with a variety of degenerative conditions. Discover the potential of regenerative medicine at Biogenik.

Types of Stem Cells
Derived from embryos during the blastocyst stage, embryonic stem cells possess pluripotency, meaning they can differentiate into any cell type in the human body. This makes them invaluable for studying early development and regenerative medicine applications. However, their use is ethically debated due to the destruction of embryos during extraction.
Present in various tissues and organs throughout the body, adult stem cells are multipotent or unipotent, which means they have a more limited differentiation capacity compared to ESCs. Despite this, they play a crucial role in tissue repair and regeneration, making them essential for maintaining healthy bodily functions.
iPSCs are adult cells that have been genetically reprogrammed to exhibit pluripotency, similar to embryonic stem cells. These cells offer an ethical alternative to ESCs for research and therapeutic purposes, as they can be derived from a patient's own cells, reducing the risk of immune rejection.

Benefits of Stem Cell Therapy
Regenerative Potential:
Stem cell therapy harnesses the regenerative capabilities of stem cells to repair and replace damaged tissues and organs. This holds tremendous promise for treating a wide range of conditions, including degenerative diseases, injuries, and organ failure.
Reduced Risk of Rejection:
By utilizing a patient’s own stem cells (autologous transplantation), the risk of immune rejection is minimized, increasing the success rate of treatments and reducing the need for immunosuppressive drugs.
Personalized Medicine:
Stem cell therapy allows for personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs, genetic makeup, and medical condition. This individualized approach can improve treatment outcomes and patient satisfaction.

Risks of Stem Cell Therapy
01.
Tumorigenicity:
The uncontrolled growth of transplanted stem cells could lead to tumor formation. Researchers and clinicians must carefully monitor and control cell growth to prevent this potential risk.
02.
Immune Response:
Even with autologous transplantation, there is a possibility of an immune response to the transplanted stem cells, leading to adverse reactions in some cases.
03.
Contamination and Infection:
During stem cell harvesting or culturing, there is a risk of contamination, which may result in infections or other complications. Stringent quality control measures are essential to mitigate this risk.
04.
Ethical Considerations:
The use of certain types of stem cells, particularly embryonic stem cells, raises ethical concerns due to the destruction of embryos. Careful ethical deliberation is necessary to ensure responsible and morally sound use of stem cell therapies.

STEM CELL THERAPY
Stem Cell Therapy via IV Infusions
Intravenous (IV) infusion is a widely adopted method for delivering stem cell therapy systemically throughout the body. During this procedure, stem cells are harvested from a suitable source, such as bone marrow or adipose tissue (fat cells), and then processed in a lab to concentrate and purify them. Once prepared, the stem cells are introduced into the patient’s bloodstream through an IV drip.
Their benefits are:
01.
Whole-Body Treatment
IV infusions allow stem cells to circulate throughout the entire body via the bloodstream. This comprehensive approach enables the therapy to target multiple areas of injury, inflammation, or degeneration simultaneously.
02.
Minimally Invasive
IV infusions are considered minimally invasive, involving only a simple needle insertion. This non-surgical method reduces the risk of complications and promotes quicker recovery compared to invasive procedures.
03.
Versatility
IV infusions can be used to treat a wide range of medical conditions, making it an adaptable therapy option for various ailments and degenerative diseases.
STEM CELL THERAPY
Stem Cell Therapy via Intra-articular Application for Joints
Intra-articular application involves the direct injection of stem cells into the affected joint. This specialized method is particularly effective in targeting joint-related issues, such as osteoarthritis, cartilage injuries, and other degenerative joint conditions.
Their benefits are:
Stem cells have shown promising results in promoting cartilage repair and regeneration. Intra-articular application provides a focused solution for joint problems where cartilage damage is a primary concern.
Intra-articular stem cell therapy may lead to reduced pain, improved mobility, and enhanced joint function, ultimately enhancing the patient's quality of life.
