Having a clear understanding of what Regenerative Medicine is and what it is used to treat is essential to understanding why stem cells are used to treat diseases and different medical conditions.
According to the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR, for its abbreviation in English), regenerative medicine is a vanguard branch of medicine that emerges out of interdisciplinary research that combines a wide range of disciplines including cell biology, tissue engineering, gene therapy, cell therapy, cell immunotherapy, 3D bioprinting, exosome therapy, among others.
The purpose of regenerative medicine is to help restore the functionality of the tissues by repairing, replacing, or regenerating them in various kinds of conditions by stimulating and enhancing the body’s own natural healing abilities in order to enhance their self-healing capabilities.
Under the medical supervision of Dr. Karolynn Halpert, BioXcellerator Colombia is one of the world’s leading institutions in the application of cellular therapies. A pioneer in its field, BioXcellerator Colombia meets the highest standards of quality, human resources, commitment, and cutting-edge technologies.
There are thousands of different types of cells in the human body that perform specific functions and contribute to the body’s overall function. Our bodies are made up of hundreds of different types of cells that keep our bodies functioning every day. Among these are the stem cells, which are the suppliers of all the new cells that are responsible for the regeneration of tissues, thus maintaining the healthy body.
Cells that have the ability to divide and differentiate into different types of specialized cells makes them a very valuable factor in medical research and treatment, as they are able to divide and differentiate into various types of specialized cells.
The stem cells are responsible for producing new cells in the body. The stem cells are the cells that are capable of producing more of themselves or other types of cells, depending on whether they are divided. As an example, they can create more skin stem cells, or they can create differentiated skin cells that are responsible for specific tasks, like the production of melanin.
As far as stem cells are concerned, they can be taken from many different tissues, including fat, bone marrow, umbilical cord cells, umbilical cord blood, dental pulp, and many more. There are several ways in which the stem cells of an individual can be expanded and cultured in BioXcellerator’s Cell Bank, resulting in a larger number of high quality cells that can then be reintroduced into the individual via various routes, according to their condition.
Using cells derived from adipose tissue, bone marrow, or the umbilical cord has a number of unique advantages, among them the ease with which they can be obtained, the fact that they are immune-reactive, the fact that they are available immediately, and the fact that there is minimal risk of complications, infections, or disabilities.
Through the secretion of bioactive molecules, stem cells can act on the body. Medicinal Signaling Cells (MSC), for its acronym in English, was proposed by Dr. Arnold Caplan, one of the pioneers in the field of mesenchymal stem cells and adjudicator of its name in the field of mesenchymal stem cells, to rename these cells as medicinal signaling cells (MSC), because the most important function of these cells is the secretion of various factors.
A cell therapy method is used to treat diseases by introducing new cells to the body in order to fix or repair existing damage. The therapy entails the use of a wide variety of types of cells, among which are stem cells, which have regenerative, reparative, protective, or immunoregulatory properties.
It has been shown that cell therapy is very promising, even potentially curable, as compared to many traditional treatments, which can be quite expensive and come with side effects, which do not address the cause, but rather the symptoms. In other countries around the world, cell therapy is already being used with great success and research is becoming more hopeful and accurate, however very few clinics offer cell therapy that is legally approved.
It has been proven that most commonly used stem cells come from the umbilical cord, bone marrow, adipose tissue, and Wharton’s gelatin. In order for the medical team to treat the patient’s condition or disease effectively, they should be well versed in the patient’s condition, possible treatment options, and evidence that they are going to be able to achieve a successful outcome by following the recommended steps.
