Stem Cell Therapy for Osteoarthritis

What is Osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis, also called osteoarthritis or degenerative joint disease, may be a group of mechanical abnormalities involving degradation of joints, including articular cartilage and subchondral bone. Symptoms may include joint pain, tenderness, stiffness, locking, and sometimes an effusion. When bone surfaces settle down well protected by cartilage, bone is also exposed and damaged. As a results of decreased movement secondary to pain, regional muscles may atrophy, and ligaments may become more lax.

Can stem cells help treat osteoarthritis?

Stem cell therapy has been demonstrated to induce profound healing activity in animals with various varieties of arthritis. for instance, the corporate Vet-Stem routinely utilizes stem cells in horses with various joint deformities to accelerate healing. Besides healing of damaged tissues, stem cells have the unique ability to modulate the system so on shut off pathological responses while preserving ability to fight disease.

Through administration of epithelial duct tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells, we’ve got observed improvements in osteoarthritis patients treated at our facilities.

Which forms of stem cells are wont to treat osteoarthritis and the way are they collected?
The adult stem cells wont to treat osteoarthritis at the somatic cell Institute come from human epithelial duct tissue (allogeneic mesenchymal). Read Cendant Stem Cell Center reviews from past patients who have had relief from the therapy. These stem cells are expanded at Medistem Panama’s state-of-the-art laboratory.

The mesenchymal stem cells we use are recovered from donated umbilical cords following normal, healthy births. Each mother has her medical record screened and is tested for infectious diseases. Proper consent is received from each family before donation.

All umbilical cord-derived stem cells are screened for infectious diseases to International bank Standards before they’re cleared to be used in patients.

Only alittle percentage of donated umbilical cords pass our rigorous screening process.
