Clinical Research for Cell Regenerative Therapy

Stem cells have tremendous possibilities to help and treat a range of disorders, injuries, diseases, other conditions that deprive the person’s ability to from doing his daily duties. Stem cell research & therapy has unearthed their potential to treat neurological disorders and diseases of the skeletal muscles to save the lives of thousands of children with the new cell treatment.

Stem Cell Research & Therapy

Stem cell research and therapy offer a remarkable gift for medical treatments by bringing forth the abilities of the stem cells and their capacity for healing the tissue, muscle and organs of the body. People who can benefit from cell therapy in Mumbai include those with spinal cord injuries, Autism, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy and stroke. 

Researchers hope stem cell investigations can help them to understand how various diseases and disorder develop. It can also help in generating healthy stem cells that can regenerate and repair seriously diseased or damaged tissues in individuals. 

Sources of stem cells

Some of the stem cells discovered by researchers are:

●        Embryonic stem cells: These stem cells are sourced from embryos which are three to five days old. These are pluripotent cells that can multiply and differentiate into any type of cell found in the human body.

●        Adult stem cells: Adult stem cells are found in tissues, such as the bone marrow. Compared with the embryonic stem cells, the bone marrow derived stem cells have a higher possibility to adapt to various cells of the body.This adaptability allows them to regenerate or repair diseased tissue and organs at a quick pace.

●        Umbilical cord stem cells: A baby’s umbilical cord is a rich source of cord blood stem cells and cord tissue stem cells. The therapeutic potential of umbilical cord derived stem cells helps to regenerate or repair damage caused by genetics changes, neurological disorders or an injury by stimulating the body's repair mechanisms.

Most of the cell therapy in Mumbai is done through stem cells harnessed from the bone marrow of the patient. These mesenchymal stem cells have the ability to treat disorders related to the immune system or for the neurological disorders to restore the brain’s plasticity.

Stemcell Research and Therapy are making great advances in understanding and testing potential treatments to help patients. There is still much to learn about how stem cells and their capacity for healing disorders in the future.Important clinical trials with stem cells are being explored, for treating other diseases using stem cells in medicine.

Cell Transplantation for Dementia

Dementia is a group of symptoms associated with a decline in thinking and memory loss due to brain malfunction.Dementia can be categorized as severe and non-reversible (degenerative).It affects the person’s cognition, behaviour and language interfering with his/her daily life.Cell treatment for Dementia help in regaining the brain’s plasticity.  

Dementia occurs due to damage or loss of brain-cells that stops the brain from thinking normally. Depending on the area of the brain affected, dementia can affect people differently.

Types of progressive Dementia's

Alzheimer's disease

Patients with Alzheimer's disease have tangles (of tau protein) and plaques (clumps of a protein)embedded in their brains,damaging the healthy neurons

Vascular dementia

Vascular dementia is caused by impairment to the vessels that supply blood to the brain resulting in the damageto the white matter of the brain. The symptoms include trouble with thinking, focusing and problem-solving.

Lewy body dementia

 Lewy bodies are clumps of protein found in the brains of people. Lewy body dementia symptoms include visual hallucinations, tremors, muscle rigidity and uncoordinated limb movement.

Fronto temporal dementia

This type of dementia is characterized by the deterioration of nerve cells in the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain.The symptoms lack in areas such as movement, thinking, judgment and speech.

Mixed dementia

Patients with mixed dementia have a combination of mixed symptoms related to Alzheimer's disease, Lewy body dementia and vascular dementia.

Ifa person exhibits memory issues or dementia symptoms then a doctor can determine the underlying cause and treatment.

For Dementia, cell treatment is a sought after approach to treat the patient. This safe treatment involves the patient’s own stem cells derived from the bone marrow. These mesenchymal stem cells have the potential to multiply and differentiate into any cell type produce growth factors and other supportive substances. When introduced into the body, they travel to the site of damage to begin the treatment process to resume the lost skills in the patient. Cells treatment for dementia helps to repair the damaged brain cell and to reconstruct the brain functional circuit. 

For dementia, cell treatment and neuro-rehabilitation therapy can bring forth positive results and significant improvements in patients.
