Stem Cells Therapy in Tijuana
Cutting-edge regenerative medicine — stem cells, exosomes, and growth factors to improve quality of life and treat injuries and degenerative diseases.
What are Stem Cells?
Stem cells are a special type of cell that have two important properties. They can produce more of their own kind. That is, they renew themselves. They can also develop into other cells that do different things in a process known as differentiation. Stem cells are found in almost all tissues in the body. Furthermore, they are needed to maintain tissue and to repair it after injury.
Depending on the location of stem cells, they can develop into different tissues. For example, hematopoietic stem cells reside in the bone marrow and can produce all the cells that function in the blood. Stem cells can also develop into brain neurons, heart muscle cells, bone cells, or other cell types.
What are Exosomes?
Exosomes are small vesicles released by cells. They are responsible for cell-to-cell communication, essentially acting as messengers carrying valuable protein signals and genetic information (DNA and RNA) between cells.
Exosomes can travel throughout the body, delivering messages that tell cells how to behave, what's happening nearby, or what they should produce. These messengers are naturally produced by the cells in our bodies, with stem cells being the main producers.
What are stem cells used for?
In recent years, stem cell applications in medical treatments have become very common, as they offer good results and can improve patients' quality of life. The most common use is in regenerative medicine, since stem cell implantation allows for the regeneration of damaged tissue.
One of the fundamental applications is cell therapy, in which stem cells are implanted into damaged tissue or organs to treat a specific pathology. Furthermore, their use is increasingly common in transplantation, i.e., organ transplant procedures.
Which patients are recommended for stem cell treatments?
As has been observed, virtually any patient is eligible for stem cell treatment. These cell therapies are especially recommended for patients with muscle and joint injuries such as osteoarthritis or injuries; with chronic degenerative diseases such as diabetes, kidney failure, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's; and others such as autism and behavioral disorders.
In the case of elderly patients, stem cells can aid tissue regeneration, helping to improve mobility and enabling them to perform daily activities.
