Medi-Cell(MSC)

1. WHAT IS REGENERATIVE MEDICINE?

Regenerative Medicine is a relatively new and rapidly expanding field of medicine that focuses on repairing,replacing,restoring and regenerating damaged and diseased tissue. Regenerative medicine focuses on restoring normal healthy function to our bodies.Some of the tools of Regenerative Medicine include minimally invasive procedures such as Medi-Cell(MSC) and PRP injections.Regenerative Medicine promises to extend healthy life spans and improve the quality of life by supporting and activating the body's natura healing.

2. WHAT IS MESENCHYMAL STEM CELL (MSC)?

MSCs are multipotent stem cells which have the ability to self-renew and differentiate. It can differentiate into various types of cells and has a broad clinical application potential. Our MSCs derive from baby umbilical cord which are the youngest and most primitive.

Stem cells are precursor cells that have the ability to replace dying cells and regenerate damaged tissue. In stem cell therapy, they can seek out areas of injury and disease, and are capable of regenerating healthy cells and accelerating the natural healing process

3. HOW DOES STEM CELL THERAPY WORK?

MSCs secrete growth factors such as cytokines, exosomes, antioxidants and pro angiogenic factors which help to stimulate cell proliferation and angiogenesis are released. This reduced the response to stress and apoptosis of damaged cells. Cells are repaired through regulation of local and systemic inflammatory and immune responses.

4. UNIQUE PROPERTIES OF STEM CELL:

  • Differentiation: Stem cells are multi-potent and have the ability to grow and develop to several different cell types. Their capacity to differentiate makes them distinct from all other cells in our body.
  • Self-renewal: They have the ability to replicate indefinitely (go through numerous cycles of cell division while maintaining its undifferentiated state).
  • Homing effect: When stem cells receive a signal from damaged and injured sites, they will move to the sites and start to do repairing and regenerative work.
  • Anti – inflammatory effect: They have innated immunogenic advantages that can exert immune regulatory functions to act on immune cells in the body and exert anti-inflammatory effect.

5. How Do Medi-Cell(MSC) Help in Wellness and Healthy Aging?

Aging is a natural process when the number of cells dying each day start to outweigh the new cells being created to replace the former.Medi-Cell(MSC) dwindle with age and therefore the effects of aging are really the effects of reduced Medi-Cell(MSC).However,Medi-Cell(MSC) are also reduced due to diseases,illnesses,environmental factors such as pollution,smoking,heavy drinking,lack of exercise and stress.Medi-Cell(MSC) help to provide new cells by replacing the aged,damaged and dying ones every day.In order for this to work,you must receive enough Medi-Cell(MSC) which are in the millions.Therefore,Medi-Cell(MSC) are expanded in a clean and sterile laboratory before injecting back.This way,we will be able to ensure the same consistent Medi-Cell(MSC) quality and numbers each time and every time.

6. Source of Medi-Cell(MSC)

A new born baby's umbilical cord is rich in Medi-Cell(MSC).Normally the cords are being thrown away after the delivery.In last ten years,umbilical cord blood has been shown to be therapeutically useful for rescuing patients with bone marrow-related deficits and inborn errors of metabolism.Umbilical cord blood offers advantages over bone marrow because cord blood does not require perfect human leukocyte antigen (HLA) tissue matching, has less incidence of graft vs host disease, and may be used allogenically .In addition, cord blood may be banked, and thus is available for use “off-the-shelf.”

7. WHY UMBILICAL CORD MSC’S ARE THE BEST? (Add these points)

  • Youngest and most primitive MSCs source
  • Can be multiplied easily in the lab through cell expansion
  • Immuno – privileged
  • Umbilical cord’s Wharton Jelly contains the most abundant MSCs compared to other sources such as bone marrow and fats.

8. BENEFITS

  • Enhance healing
  • Improve sleep quality
  • Improve stamina and vitality
  • Improve organ functions and reduce risk of age-related diseases.
  • Improve skin texture and firmness
  • Repair and regenerate cartilage, disc and tendon damages (knees, joints, hip injuries)
  • Reduce inflammation and pain
  • Strengthen immunity and slow down aging

9. What is The Recovery Period From a Medi-Cell(MSC) Therapy?

The recovery period for a Medi-Cell(MSC) procedure is very short (5-7 days). In most cases, you will be up and participating in normal activities within 24 hours.There may be a small amount of discomfort at the Medi-Cell(MSC) donor site, as well as the target site for a few days after the procedure.You may experience transient fever and tiredness.Depending on the body part treated with Medi-Cell(MSC), you will be instructed to refrain from full athletic and strenuous exercise for 4-6 weeks, in order to allow the Medi-Cell(MSC) to fully incorporate and thrive in the new environment.
