Regenerative medicine seeks to restore or regenerate damaged cells and tissues using the body’s own resources. Within this field, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have taken center stage.
Three key properties of MSCs
- Tissue regeneration: they can become cartilage, bone or fat, which is relevant for sports injuries and degenerative diseases.
- Immunomodulatory properties: they help calm the immune response, which is useful against inflammation and in autoimmune diseases.
- Angiogenesis: they help form new blood vessels, supporting circulation and recovery of affected areas.
Where are they being used today?
- Orthopedics and sports medicine: joint injuries and athlete recovery.
- Cardiology: their use to regenerate heart tissue after a heart attack is being researched.
- Neurodegenerative diseases: treatments for Alzheimer’s and multiple sclerosis are being explored.
Allogeneic cells
Allogeneic MSCs come from a donor. Their source does not guarantee freedom from immune reactions, infection or other adverse effects. Ask the physician about evidence and risks for the specific product; a lot quality certificate does not replace clinical evaluation.
