What are stem cells?

• Stem cells are unspecialized cells of the human
  body.
• They can transform and/or multiply into
  specialized cells.
• Through a laboratory procedure known as
  differentiation stem cells procured from one part
  of the body can become/grow into other kinds of
  cells.

3
What can stem cells do?

• Stem cells can repair the body by generating
  healthy cells that can replace the cells damaged
  by disease.
• They possess the ability to transform into
  different kinds of human cells.
• Through suitable application, stem cells can be
  turned into neurons to replace the ones lost or
  damaged.
• They help restore neural function and empower the
  patient to lead a functional, mobile, and
  independent life.

What are the different types of stem cells?

• Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs) - Cells derived from
  the inner cell mass of an embryo in its early
  stages of development
• Adult Stem Cells (ASCs) - Undifferentiated cells
  procured from fully developed tissues like the
  brain and bone marrow
• Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs) -
  Genetically reprogrammed stem cells that exhibit
  ESCs characteristics
• Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) - ASCs with
  anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory,
  self-renewal, cell-division, signaling, and
  differentiation properties

5
What are the two types of stem cell therapy?

• Autologous therapy - Cells are procured from
  patients own bone marrow, blood, or fat tissue
• Allogeneic therapy - Cells are procured from
  external donors

6
How are stem cells administered?

• Stem cells may be administered in the following
  ways
• Intravenous
• Intrathecal (directly into the spinal canal)
• Inject into problem areas like hips, hands,
  knees, etc

Stem Cell Therapy at Plexus

• We use autologous MSCs that are typically sourced
  from different types of tissue (from the
  patients body) such as
• Umbilical cord - collected at the time of birth
• Bone marrow - through a process called bone
  marrow aspiration
• Adipose tissue - through liposuction
• Peripheral blood - through apheresis (like blood
  donation)
