Lets understand stem cells

• Stem cells are unspecialized cells of the human
  body.
• Procured from one part of the body, they can
  differentiate and become/grow into other kinds of
  cells, including specialized cells.
• Our body has the unique ability to self-heal.
  Illness, injury, or disease can disrupt this
  ability. Stem cells have the power to remind our
  body of its self-healing capabilities, and
  supports this process by growing/dividing into
  healthy cells that can replace the cells damaged
  by disease.

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

4
Stem cells can be used to treat

• Inflammatory conditions ? Orthopedic conditions ?
  Trauma-induced conditions
• Autoimmune diseases ? Neurological disorders ?
  Metabolic disorders
• Hematopoietic diseases ? Cardiovascular illnesses
  ? Gastrointestinal disorders
• Kidney disorders ? Lung disease ? Liver disorders
• Cancers ? Skin disorders ? Ocular disorders

5
Administering stem cells

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

Types of Stem Cells and Stem Cell Therapies
7
Embryonic stem cell therapy

• Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are derived from the
  inner cell mass of an embryo in its early stages
  of development.
• These unspecialized cells do not have any
  specific characteristics like shape or gene
  expression pattern. These cells can be
  differentiated into any cell type in the body.
• This makes them the ideal choice for stem cell
  therapy.
• However, the origins of ESCs are still a matter
  of ethical debate.
• They are mostly used for research purposes only.

8
Adult stem cell therapy

• Adult stem cells (ASCs) are undifferentiated
  cells procured from fully developed tissues like
  the brain and bone marrow.
• They are multipotent cells (limited ability to
  differentiate into other types of cells) and are
  typically used for tissue repair.

9
Induced pluripotent stem cell therapy

• Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are
  genetically reprogrammed stem cells that exhibit
  ESCs characteristics.
• These cells can self-renew and also differentiate
  into any cell type in the body.
• The risk of immune rejection with iPSCs is lower
  because they are procured from the patients body
  itself.

10
Mesenchymal stem cell therapy

• Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are ASCs with
  anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory,
  self-renewal, cell-division, signaling, and
  differentiation properties.
• They can replace cells that are diseased or
  damaged.
• At Plexus, we use autologous mesenchymal stem
  cells for a variety of conditions such as
• Stroke
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Parkinsons Disease
• Spinal Cord Injury
• Spinocerebellar Ataxia
• Osteoarthritis
• Autoimmune Conditions like Psoriasis
• Neurodevelopmental Disorders
• Muscular Dystrophies
• Motor Neuron Diseases
• Brachial Plexus Injury

• From embryonic and mesenchymal stem cells to
  hematopoietic stem cells and cord blood cells -
  there are numerous potential applications of stem
  cells that are still being researched.
• The cure to the most devastating and
  life-threatening illnesses may be with these stem
  cells.
