Presentation Transcript

  1. What are stem cells? • Stem cells are unspecialized cells of the human body. • They can transform and/or multiply into specialized cells. • Through a laboratory procedure known as differentiation stem cells procured from one part of the body can become/grow into other kinds of cells.

  2. What can stem cells do? • Stem cells can repair the body by generating healthy cells that can replace the cells damaged by disease. • They possess the ability to transform into different kinds of human cells. • Through suitable application, stem cells can be turned into neurons to replace the ones lost or damaged. • They help restore neural function and empower the patient to lead a functional, mobile, and independent life.

  3. What are the different types of stem cells? • Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs) - Cells derived from the inner cell mass of an embryo in its early stages of development • Adult Stem Cells (ASCs) - Undifferentiated cells procured from fully developed tissues like the brain and bone marrow • Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs) - Genetically reprogrammed stem cells that exhibit ESCs’ characteristics • Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) - ASCs with anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, self-renewal, cell-division, signaling, and differentiation properties

  4. What are the two types of stem cell therapy? • Autologous therapy - Cells are procured from patient’s own bone marrow, blood, or fat tissue • Allogeneic therapy - Cells are procured from external donors

  5. How are stem cells administered? Stem cells may be administered in the following ways: • Intravenous • Intrathecal (directly into the spinal canal) • Inject into problem areas like hips, hands, knees, etc

  6. Diseases that stem cell therapy can treat • Inflammatory conditions • Orthopedic conditions • Trauma-induced conditions • Autoimmune diseases • Neurological disorders • Metabolic disorders • Hematopoietic diseases • Cardiovascular illnesses • Gastrointestinal disorders • Kidney disorders • Lung disease • Liver disorders • Cancers • Skin disorders • Ocular disorders

  7. Stem Cell Therapy at Plexus We offer rehabilitation programmes featuring stem cell therapy for the following conditions: • Stroke • Multiple Sclerosis • Parkinson’s Disease • Spinal Cord Injury • Spinocerebellar Ataxia • Osteoarthritis • Autoimmune conditions like Psoriasis • Neurodevelopmental disorders in children • Muscular Dystrophies • Motor Neuron Diseases • Brachial Plexus Injury

  8. Stem Cell Therapy at Plexus We use autologous MSCs that are typically sourced from different types of tissue (from the patient’s body) such as: • Umbilical cord - collected at the time of birth • Bone marrow - through a process called bone marrow aspiration • Adipose tissue - through liposuction • Peripheral blood - through apheresis (like blood donation)

  9. Benefits of stem cell therapy at Plexus • Enhanced everyday functioning • Improved quality of life • Immune system modulation and reduction of inflammation • Prevention of further nerve damage • Speedy recovery post-procedure • Non-surgical procedure • Zero complications and side-effects
