How can they be used?
Medicine continues to move rapidly towards personalised treatment for a host of diseases, and stem cell therapy is one way to shift the move into high gear. Stem cell therapy treats diseases by replacing dysfunctional or diseased cells with healthy, functioning ones.
In fact stem cell research is the most promising path to curing many severe diseases and disabling medical conditions that would otherwise remain untreatable.
Stem cells have been used in treatments over the past 30 years. There are clinical studies and trials being conducted worldwide for conditions such as Diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis, Cancer, Heart Disease, Liver and Kidney damage, Spinal Cord Injuries, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases. Cell therapy is also being used in experiments to graft new skin cells to treat serious burn victims, and to grow new corneas for the sight-impaired.
For stem cell therapy to work it is imperative the source of the stem cells be compatible with the recipient. To avoid the rejection of transplanted tissues it is best to use the patient's own cells for these treatments. This is called an autologous transplant. General cell banking does not have nearly as high an acceptance rate as the use of personal (autologous) cells.
BioEDEN only offers the storage of autologous cells.
