STEM CELL THERAPY'S ROLE IN MANAGING PERIPHERAL
ARTERY DISEASE

INTRODUCTION

• Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) defined as the
  narrowing or blockage of blood vessels in the
  legs, arms, stomach, or kidneys.
• PAD affects millions of people worldwide, leading
  to reduced blood flow, pain, and tissue damage.
• Stem cell therapy emerges as a promising approach
  for managing PAD.

UNDERSTANDING STEM CELL THERAPY

• Stem cells are undifferentiated cells capable of
  self-renewal and differentiation into specialized
  cell types.
• Two main sources of stem cells embryonic stem
  cells and adult stem cells.
• Adult stem cells, such as mesenchymal stem cells
  (MSCs), can be harvested from various tissues,
  including bone marrow and adipose tissue.

4
MECHANISM OF ACTION

• Stem cell therapy in PAD aims to enhance blood
  vessel formation and promote tissue regeneration.
• MSCs possess angiogenic and immunomodulatory
  properties.
• MSCs can differentiate into endothelial cells and
  smooth muscle cells, contributing to blood vessel
  repair and remodeling.

5
BENEFITS

• Benefits of stem cell therapy in PAD
• Improved blood flow and pain relief.
• Reduced need for amputation.
• Potential for long-term tissue regeneration.

6
FUTURE DIRECTIONS

• Combination therapies, such as combining stem
  cells with growth factors or gene therapy, show
  promise.
• Advances in tissue engineering and 3D printing
  may allow for the creation of personalized
  vascular grafts.

7
CONCLUSION

• Stem cell therapy holds great potential in
  managing peripheral artery disease.
• Stem cell therapy has also shown the ability to
  reduce inflammation and promote tissue healing.
