cell therapy?

80 types of diseases were treated
Who knows what the future still holds, but it looks promising
Stem cell therapies, bioprinting and other technologies are transforming the
future of healthcare
Replace dead or diseased cells
• Stem cells are used to replace dead or diseased cells e.g. blood stem cell transplant.
Regenerate tissue and organs
• Stem cells are used in clinical trials to regenerate tissues and organs.
Bioprint tissues or organs
• Stem cells are being used to 3D print tissues and organs.
Enhance the body's regenerative potential
• Scientists are studying ways to use the body's intrinsic regenerative ability to initiate and
enhance repair.
As medical science continues its research into stem cells and their flexibility, the list of possible treatments grows.
Recent research into the stem cells found in cord tissue has shown potential in regenerative medicine. These cells,
also known as mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), can transform into many types of cells and tissues, including organs,
muscles, skin and bone. Trials are underway that look into using stem cell therapies with MSC to potentially treat
autism, cerebral palsy, diabetes, spinal injuries and many others. For up to date information about new developments
