Myth: “Stem cells are illegal in Mexico”
Fact: regenerative medicine in Mexico is regulated by the General Health Law and COFEPRIS, the federal health regulator. Stem cell banks and collection centers require a health license, a designated health officer and qualified staff. We work with laboratories that hold licenses and lot traceability. Regulations differ in other countries, including the United States.
Myth: “They are only for a few”
Fact: today there are presentations and protocols for different goals and needs, from vials with a few million cells to acellular therapies such as exosomes, secretome or placenta implants.
Myth: “Results are immediate and guaranteed”
Fact: results vary with the stage of the disease and each patient’s response. That is why medical evaluation and realistic expectations are essential.
Myth: “Donor cells are always rejected”
Fact: allogeneic mesenchymal cells and fibroblasts do not express MHC II receptors, so they have low immunogenicity.
