Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have the ability to guide differentiate and regeneration of multiple cell types and secrete various bioactive molecules that can promote tissue regeneration and repair. As such, they have the potential to repair many organs throughout the body.
Here are some examples of organs that MSCs are able to repair, along with brief explanations of how they work and links to specific treatments:
- Heart – MSCs have been shown to guide differentiation and regeneration of cardiac cells, promote angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels), and secrete various growth factors that can promote tissue repair following a heart attack. We are constantly seeing miraculous results on heart health from our stem cell IV treatments because the 1st place the MSCs go during an IV is the heart and then the lungs.
- Liver – MSCs have been used to treat liver damage due to alcohol use, viral infections, and other disorders. They are thought to promote liver regeneration, reduce inflammation, and improve liver function.
- Lungs – MSCs are an amazing therapy for respiratory disorders such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). They are thought to promote lung regeneration and reduce inflammation.
- Brain – MSCs have been shown to promote neural regeneration and reduce inflammation in the brain following injury or in degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Stroke. A healthy brain almost always translates to a longer life.
- Kidneys – MSCs have been used to treat kidney damage due to various illnesses and toxins. They promote kidney regeneration and reduce inflammation that can contribute to tissue damage. We have great results treating patients in 1st – 3rd degree renal failure.
- Skin – The largest organ in the body. Keep your skin healthy and your body can survive longer.
- All Organs – Mesenchymal stem cells don’t discriminate as to which organ to heal. They can heal any organ in your body. They are attracted to inflammation so if any organ or tissue in the body is inflamed, it will attract the MSCs to heal. They get there and act like the managers on the construction site. They guide the repair process.
Overall, the ability of MSCs to repair organs and tissues throughout the body is due to their inherent capacity to guide differentiation and regeneration into various cell types and secrete various growth factors and molecules that can influence the healing and regeneration processes.
