Stem cells in the treatment of other medical conditions
Cord blood stem cells have shown good results in the treatment of a number of other medical conditions including blood disorders and injuries, autoimmune diseases, bone marrow damage, heart failure, osteoarthritis....
Cord blood stem cells have regenerative capabilities..
Stem cell therapy can help treat a variety of medical conditions, including: Blood disorders, Aplastic anemia, Sickle cell disease, Autoimmune diseases, Thalassaemia, Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), Hurler syndrome.
Injuries including: Fractures, Tendon injuries, Ligament injuries, Spinal cord injuries, and Brain injuries.
Other conditions include: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Heart failure, Osteoarthritis, Crohn's disease, Fibromyalgia, and Parkinson's disease.
Stem cell therapy can also be used to treat conditions where the bone marrow is damaged or destroyed. For example, stem cell transplants can replace blood cells that have been damaged by cancer treatment.
Stem cells are also being studied as a treatment for other conditions, such as type 1 diabetes.
We primarily use umbilical cord blood and cord tissue-derived stem cells, which are highly effective and do not require a blood match for transplantation. These cells are thoroughly screened to ensure their safety and efficacy.
The stem cell procedure itself is minimally invasive and performed in a hospital setting (address below). It is typically a short procedure, and while some slight discomfort may be experienced, it is generally not painful.
All cord blood stem cells are derived from healthy donors.

How cord blood stem cells are analysed to determine if they come from donors who have not received any COVID-19 vaccines involves a few steps:
Protocol for the Analysis of Cord Blood Stem Cells and process:
1st stage: Donor Screening and Documentation: The first method used is to rely on thorough donor screening and documentation. Donors are asked about their vaccination status, and this information is recorded and verified through medical records.
2nd stage: is Flow Cytometry: This technique is used to analyse specific markers on the surface of stem cells. While flow cytometry is typically used to assess cell viability and count specific cell types, it's adapted to detect markers or changes associated with Covid 19 variant vaccinations.
3rd stage: Genetic and Epigenetic Analysis: Advanced epigenetic analysis helps them reveal changes in gene expression or other markers that also indicates a history of COVID-19 vaccination.
4th stage: Serological Testing: Testing for the presence of antibodies specific to COVID-19 vaccines in the donor's blood which is a strong indicator whether they have been vaccinated against COVID-19.
5th stage: Cell Culture and Functional Assays: Culturing the stem cells and performing functional assays reveal differences in cell behaviour or response to stimuli that are linked to COVID-19 vaccination status
Other analysis to include:
· Sterility Testing: Cord blood samples are tested for microbial contamination to ensure they are free from harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi. This is crucial to prevent infections in recipients.
· Infectious Disease Screening: The blood is tested for all infectious diseases such as HIV, hepatitis, and syphilis to ensure that the cells are safe for administration.
· Genetic Testing: While cord blood stem cells do not require a perfect blood match, genetic testing is still performed to ensure they are suitable for administration and to identify any potential genetic disorders.
· Quality Control: Throughout the processing and storage of cord blood, strict quality control measures are in place to maintain the integrity and viability of the stem cells. This includes monitoring the cells during cryopreservation (freezing) and ensuring proper handling and storage conditions.
· Volume Reduction: The cord blood is processed to remove excess red blood cells and plasma, leaving behind a concentrated sample of stem cells.
Dolor de rodilla, cadera, pie y hombro
La terapia con células madre de la sangre del cordón umbilical también puede ayudar con el dolor de rodilla, cadera, pie y hombro.
Con millones de personas sufriendo dolor crónico y muchos millones cada año sometiéndose a reemplazos de articulaciones, la terapia con células madre puede eliminar su dolor y aumentar su movilidad. Algunos pacientes experimentan una gran reducción del dolor en cuestión de semanas después de una inyección. Los tratamientos anteriores han incluido inyecciones de esteroides, analgésicos opioides (narcóticos) y antiinflamatorios no esteroides e incluso reemplazo de articulaciones. La terapia con células madre puede reparar el tejido conectivo fibroso y estimular la formación de cartílago, tendones, ligamentos y huesos. Las células madre de la sangre del cordón umbilical no solo promueven el alivio del dolor a largo plazo, sino también una restauración significativa de las funciones normales.
¿Cómo funcionan las inyecciones de células madre de la sangre del cordón umbilical?
Las inyecciones de células de la sangre del cordón umbilical ofrecen la posibilidad de curar el tejido dañado de forma natural. Las células madre pueden reparar el cuerpo al dividirse para reponer las células dañadas por enfermedades, lesiones o desgaste normal. La variedad de beneficios relacionados con la sangre del cordón umbilical se sustenta en el éxito del trasplante y la coordinación de múltiples componentes. La sangre del cordón umbilical contiene una combinación beneficiosa de citocinas, factores de crecimiento y células madre que garantizan un microambiente rico para fomentar la regeneración tisular y el crecimiento celular.
Su cuerpo tiene la capacidad natural de curarse a sí mismo con células madre y otros derivados. A medida que envejece, la cantidad de células madre que tiene en su cuerpo se reduce considerablemente y no son tan eficientes. Las células madre han surgido como un elemento clave de las terapias médicas. También tienen propiedades de modulación inmunológica que son muy útiles para controlar el dolor y la inflamación en el cuerpo. Las terapias con células madre de la sangre del cordón umbilical incluyen propiedades curativas naturales, reducen el dolor y la inflamación, aumentan el flujo sanguíneo, son un tratamiento ambulatorio mínimamente invasivo, sin tiempo de recuperación, no requieren esteroides, son seguras y efectivas, promueven el crecimiento de los tejidos blandos y no tienen reacciones adversas.
