Cellular Therapy

Adult stem cells are obtained from sources, including bone marrow, cord blood, peripheral blood and others. Because of their properties, each one has particular advantages and disadvantages.

Once the cells are obtained, they can be manipulated and quantified to be implanted in the patient. Contamination and damage of natural cell function may increase with too much manipulation. The possibility of rejection and severe complications post-treatment increases substancially if the stem cell donor is different than the patient to be treated, such as a Graft-Versus-Host-Disease.

Stem cell therapy regenerates cells and specific organs that could be affected by some disease, disorder or degenerative disease. According to several studies, these stem cells have the ability to differentiate into other types of cells (cardiac cells, bone/cartilage, liver cells, nerve, etc.). In addition, this stem cells have the chemical ability to detect damaged tissues, home those tissues, and directly to repair them. This kind of therapy helps to increase the tissue's functionality, resulting in a considerable improvement of a person’s medical condition.

Many patients have improved their conditions with these therapies even where other treatments have failed to work. Other patients are simply interested in keeping their body systems and organs in optimal conditions.

Due to the stem cell research hype all over the world, we recommend you gather as much information as possible in order to get to the right people and to the correct treatment. There are clinics in which the stem cells are obtained from an unknown donor source and the risks involved could be very high. Progencell only uses stem cells directly from the patient in order to do autologous treatments. There is no risk of rejection or complications with infusions or extrations on the infusion or on the extraction.
