Cellular Regeneration

How these treatments work

Cellular regeneration therapies repair or replace damaged cells and enhance the body's ability to repair and rejuvenate tissues. 

How they improve your healthspan

Enhance regenerative capacities, improve physical and cognitive functions, and support immune health

Types of cellular regeneration therapies

  1. Stem Cell Therapy: Stem cells, particularly mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), have anti-aging properties. They target underlying aging mechanisms such as chronic inflammation, cellular senescence, and oxidative stress. By promoting tissue repair and regeneration, MSCs can improve the health and function of aging tissues

  2. Cellular Reprogramming: This involves using proteins like Yamanaka factors to temporarily reprogram aged cells, making them more youthful. This process reverses many molecular hallmarks of aging, allowing cells to function more like their younger counterparts

Cellular regeneration therapies result in a more vibrant and healthier aging process

  • Tissue Repair: Cellular regeneration therapies help restore the function of aged or damaged cells, which is crucial for maintaining organ health and preventing age-related diseases

  • Enhanced Cellular Function: By improving cellular health, these therapies can delay or reverse some aspects of aging, potentially leading to a healthier and more active life

  • Potential for Long-Term Health Benefits: While still in development, these therapies hold promise for managing age-related conditions and improving overall quality of life

If you are tracking your biomarkers and participating in ongoing health assessments, cellular rejuvenation treatments can be personalized for optimal results.

Promising uses for cell therapy

  • Two types of cell therapy are especially promising because they offer non-surgical alteratives to recovery from sports injuries, whether recent or past.

    These treatments target discs, tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissue injuries.

    These treatments can also enhance wound healing and reduce scarring.

  • Cell therapy can also be used to treat ongoing joint pain and arthritis

    • Neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's

    • Neuroregeneration and functional recovery in stroke and traumatic brain injury patients

    • Managing disorders such as multiple sclerosis and lupus

    • Modulating the immune system to address conditions like rheumatoid arthritis

    • Alleviating symptoms of chronic inflammatory conditions

    • Supporting heart health and recovery after cardiac events

    • Treating heart failure and stroke

    • Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for blood disorders like leukemia and lymphoma

    • Enhancing wound healing and reducing scarring

    • Alleviating symptoms of chronic inflammatory conditions

Sources of cells used

The main sources of stem cells used in stem cell infusions are:

Bone marrow: Stem cells are harvested from the patient's or donor's hip bone using a needle.

Adipose (Fat) tissue: From the patient’s own fat tissue

Umbilical cord tissue and blood: These are rich sources of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) obtained after childbirth

Peripheral blood: Stem cells are collected from the bloodstream using a special blood collection machine called a leukopheresis machine.

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs): These are adult cells reprogrammed to behave like embryonic stem cells

Embryonic stem cells: These pluripotent stem cells are derived from embryos. We don’t use these due to ethical considerations.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs)

  • Bone marrow

  • Adipose (fat) tissue

  • Umbilical cord

  • Placenta

  • Hair follicle

  • Periodontal ligament

Adult Stem Cells (ASCs)

Tissue-specific stem cells found in various organs, including:

  • Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs)

  • Neural stem cells (NSCs)

  • Dermal stem cells (DSCs)

Mine or yours?

Cells can be from 2 sources:

  1. The patient’s own body (autologous)

  2. From a donor (allogeneic)

Autologous sources like bone marrow and adipose tissue reduce the risk of immune rejection.

Allogeneic sources like umbilical cord tissue offer the advantage of being readily available and having immune-privileged properties.

Types of cells used

Pluripotent Stem Cells (PSCs)

PSCs have the ability to differentiate into almost all cell types.

  • Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)

  • Epiblast stem cells (EpiSCs)
