DISEASES TREATED BY STEM CELL APPLICATION

STEM CELL – DIABETES

SVF Stem Cell Therapy in Diabetes Type-1 and Type-2 DiseaseAs a result of the treatment of diabetes patients with stem cells; 50-70% reduction in blood sugar level and insulin dose taken from outside could be achieved. More than 50% of cases have improved with stem cell therapy. It has been reported that SVF stem cells, in particular, have an effect on the vascular damage caused by diabetes, the repairing function of tissues and organs, prolonging the life expectancy of the patient and increasing the comfort of life. One of the biggest problems faced by diabetes patients is organ or tissue failure, which manifests itself with wounds on the feet, deterioration of kidney functions, and inadequate oxygenation and nutrition in many organs due to vascular damage in the medium term. Stem cells, especially by supporting the repair and regeneration of vessels, protect tissues and organs that are highly affected by diabetes, such as kidneys. Then, by providing immune-modulation in its content, it reconstructs immune cells that have fought against insulin-producing beta cells. Recovery is rapid after stem cell transplantation. At the end of the 3rd month of the patients; Reduces the dosages of the drugs used, a more lively and healthy appearance, a 40-70% decrease in post-meal blood glucose levels compared to the previous values, improvement in HbA1C values, increased sexual performance, increased blood supply in the feet and the appearance of living tissue due to kidney functions, urea and creatinine values ​​have been reported to improve.

STEM CELL – MUSCLE

With Stem Cell therapy, the progression of muscle wasting can be slowed down, regressed or even completely stopped. The success rate of treatment is proportional to the age of the patient, the duration of the disease and the patient’s condition.   

• Muscle wasting treatment with stem cells is accepted as a new method that world scientists are working on.
• Stem cells have the ability to transform into damaged muscle cells when they touch them, so they are used in the treatment of muscle wasting.
• The number of cells to be given is determined according to the age and weight of the patient. The treatment is carried out with the patient’s own fat tissue or obtained from the stem cell bank (Mesenchymal stem cell produced from the cord blood of babies). The decision is made according to the patient’s condition. It is performed in 3 sessions with 45-day intervals or by application for 3 consecutive days.
• A success rate of 88% was achieved in areas such as general improvement in quality of life, regression of the disease and strengthening of the immune system in patients with different degrees.Muscle Wasting Disease Treatment with Stem CellsThe success rate of the treatment is directly proportional to the age of the patient, the duration of the disease and the current condition of the patient. Stem cells have the ability to transform into damaged muscle cells when they touch them, so they are used in the treatment of muscle wasting. However, since this disease is caused by a gene defect, stem cells that are not genetically defective and usually obtained from the fetus can be applied to the patient.On the other hand, if it is ensured that the stem cells obtained from the patient are not infected, the patient’s own stem cells can also be used. In this way, it can slow down the progression of the disease, completely stop it and ensure its regression. If the disease is very advanced, more than one treatment may be required. The treatment of this disease can be done at our GenCell Stem Cell Treatment Center in İstanbul, Turkey.

STEM CELL – EYE

New horizons in the eye: Stem cell therapyStem cell applications, which stand out in many fields of medicine, are also used in the treatment of some eye diseases. Treatments performed in eligible patients with the approval of the Stem Cell Advisory Board within the Ministry of Health give hope to the patients.Stem cells can renew themselvesSome retinal diseases can be treated with intraocular injections, which have been introduced in recent years. In the first row of this group; bleeding and edema due to diabetes, retinal vascular occlusions and wet-type macular degeneration. Pointing out that stem cell therapy has come to the fore in recent years in genetically inherited retinal diseases that occur at a young age and cause progressive vision loss, doctors point out that it is necessary to define stem cells first and continue as follows: “Simply; This progenitor cell, which is the purest and most basic form of the cell, has the ability to transform into other cells in the human body. Stem cells can spontaneously settle in a suitable growth environment, reproduce, differentiate into other types of cells and produce species that follow. In addition, it can renew itself as well as its own cell communities. they can ensure its continuity. Following an injury to a part of the body, they have the potential to repair this tissue and make it functional. Due to these potentials, it can replace damaged cells in the retina as well as repair them. Their current properties also lead to the research and use of stem cells as a treatment option in many diseases.”Mesenchymal stem cells are usedPatients who are candidates for stem cell therapy need to undergo some tests. Visual field, OCT (optical coherence tomography) and electrophysiology tests are used to evaluate whether the person is suitable for stem cell application. In ideal patients, approval is obtained by applying to the Stem Cell Advisory Board within the Ministry of Health before the application. Stating that the surgery program was performed after the approval, he explains the implementation of the treatment as follows: “In our clinic, mesenchymal stem cells originating from the umbilical cord (umbilical cord) are used as the cell type. As a method of application, suprachoroidal (outer layer of the eye) application is preferred because it is safer and does not prevent other treatments to be performed afterwards. The surgical procedure can be performed under general or local anesthesia according to the patient’s request. The surgery can be applied to one eye or to both eyes in the same session, depending on the patient’s request. After the surgery, the patient is treated with drops for a month. Check-ups take place in the first, third and sixth months after the first day after the surgical procedure.It can be used in the treatment of many eye diseases.Stem cell applications are mostly used in hereditary retinal, optic nerve and hereditary corneal diseases. Among the applied retinal diseases, retinitis pigmentosa known as night blindness or chicken black, Stargardt macular dystrophy, especially the dry type of age-related macular degeneration, namely macular degeneration, and other degenerative retinal diseases can be counted. Optic nerve diseases include optic atrophy caused by glaucoma, idiopathic, traumatic or other causes.

WHAT IS STEM CELL TREATMENT IN ORTHOPEDIC DISEASES?

Stem cells are the main cells found in all tissues in the human body. These cells, which have the potential to transform into all other existing cells, are present in the embryonic, that is, in the first developmental stage in the mother’s womb, and in the form of adult stem cells, being more intense in some parts of the body. When tissue damage occurs, these cells become active and release the growth factor needed for the repair of damaged tissue, and on the other hand, they turn into tissue-specific cells needed for healing. They serve in the healing and repair phase of the body. Today, many studies have been carried out for this purpose and it has been actively used in clinics because the results are significantly satisfactory.Adult stem cell sources are used today, since the removal of stem cells from fetuses has both legal and ethical problems. Stem cell therapy is used in orthopedics to stop the progression of cartilage damage and support its healing in patients who have a painful joint with cartilage damage in the early period, but are too early for surgical treatment or do not want to have surgery.In Which Orthopedic Diseases Is Stem Cell Therapy Used?Stem cells are used in joints such as knee, hip and shoulder that have been exposed to cartilage injury. In this application, which has important features in terms of usage area, age, gender and level of disease are very important. It is not the right approach to apply stem cell therapy in every case and to draw a miraculous picture of well-being for the patient. It is not a correct approach to present it as a treatment option in cases of loss of almost all joint cartilage capacity. For this reason, it is very important to choose the right patient, since the area of ​​​​use is not very wide.

STEM CELL TREATMENT IN ORTHOPEDIC DISORDERS

In stem cell therapy, which is generally applied in musculoskeletal diseases, cells are usually obtained from the patient’s fat structure or stem cell bank (Mesenchymal stem cell produced from the cord blood of babies). Stem cells can be reproduced by producing the tissue sample taken in cell culture or by using special centrifuge systems, stem cells can be concentrated. Cell culture processes need to be carried out under special laboratory conditions to prevent disease transmission and to prevent unwanted cells from being transplanted. The reproduced cells are then transplanted into the diseased areas, where treatment is provided. This transplantation process is done by absorbing the stem cells into tissues called matrix, which is a carrier, and the resulting preparation is placed on the damaged area by surgically opening the joint and fixed with various adhesives. It is aimed that the applied matrix transforms into cartilage cells and forms a repair tissue in the damaged area. Stem cells do not make any changes in the genetic makeup of the person and are not considered as gene therapy.

Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat are the results of stem cell therapy?

The methods of using stem cells in cartilage diseases have been researched with numerous animal experiments, and then applications in humans have come to the fore. However, the results of treatment applications on humans show that it is still not 100% sufficient. The created cartilage structure does not resemble the original structure and its durability is debatable. However, it is seen that a better quality improvement is achieved.

Are there risks to stem cell therapy?

Stem cells have the potential to transform into any type of cell. Due to this feature, it has been reported that sometimes stem cells transform into a bone-like tissue other than cartilage. It has been reported that it sometimes causes surface swelling within the joint and requires secondary surgical trimming.There are various studies on the use of stem cells in the repair of cartilage injuries, and many studies are still ongoing. It is hopeful that there are many studies on the subject. Which of the methods described above is better is still a matter of debate, but studies on this subject continue. Although the quality and durability of the resulting cartilage tissue and ensuring its integrity with the surrounding cartilage are obtained by these methods, a long-term result is not known yet.

PARKINSON TREATMENT WITH STEM CELL

With Stem Cell therapy, the progression of Parkinson’s disease can be slowed down, regressed or even completely stopped. The success rate of treatment is proportional to the age of the patient, the duration of the disease and the patient’s condition. With the improvement to be achieved in the muscles, the quality of life of the patient increases significantly. The treatment of Parkinson’s disease with stem cells is accepted as a new method that world scientists are working on.

• Stem cells have the ability to transform into damaged brain cells when they touch them. Stem cells are therefore used in the treatment of Parkinson’s.
• The number of cells to be given is determined according to the age and weight of the patient. The treatment is carried out with 3 sessions with 45-day intervals or 3 consecutive days of application.
• The treatment protocol is completely adjusted according to the patient’s condition, a different protocol is applied for each patient.
• The size of the stem cells given is small enough to pass through the brain cells. For this reason, the success rate of treatment increases significantly in early diagnosis.In studies, very positive results have been obtained with stem cell therapy. It largely prevented the progression of the disease to more advanced stages in 74% of the patients and helped to improve the existing bad situation.

STEM CELL -AUTISM

Autism Treatment with Stem CellsWith Stem Cell Therapy, the progression of the disease to more advanced stages is largely prevented in autism patients and improvements are achieved in their current condition. After the treatment, cognitive development, increase in learning capacity, being more efficient and diligent, remembering information in a shorter time and keeping it in memory for a longer time, increase in environmental adaptation, gastrointestinal (digestive system) function development, immune system development are observed.

• Stem cells have the ability to transform into cells they touch, such as nerves, brains and muscles, so they are used in the treatment of autism. The stem cells transplanted to the patient are stem cells that do not genetically carry this disorder. For this reason, they can slow down the progression of the disease by replacing the damaged cells, stop it completely and make it regress.
• The number of stem cells to be given is determined according to the age and weight of the patient. The treatment is carried out with 3 sessions with 45-day intervals or 3 consecutive days of application.
• The treatment protocol is completely adjusted according to the patient’s condition, a different protocol is applied for each patient.
• A very high rate of positive results have been observed with stem cell therapy in patients with autism. In 85% of the patients, the progression of the disease to more advanced stages was largely prevented and the current situation was improved.

What is Autism?

Autism is a neurobiological disorder, which is considered to be caused by the different structure or functioning of the brain and nervous system, which occurs with communication and social interaction problems, limited interests and repetitive behaviors.Autism, which prevents interacting with others and causes the person to be alone with his own inner world, usually appears in the first 3 years of life and negatively affects the social communication, interaction and behavior of individuals. It is possible to minimize the effects of the disease with the rehabilitation programs and treatments to be applied.Autism Treatment with Stem CellsStem cells are natural repairers that make up all the tissues and organs in our body, have the ability to transform into the cells they touch and divide unlimitedly, and can regenerate and heal our entire body. Therefore, they can be used in the treatment of Autism.Although the success rate in the treatment of the disease is directly proportional to the age of the patient, the duration of the disease and the existing condition of the patient, 85% success has been achieved in slowing, completely stopping and regressing the progression of the disease in 90% of the cases. The results obtained from the patient are evaluated according to the positive increase within 1 year. If positive results are started, the treatment is repeated and the success rate is increased.The following successes can be achieved by combining stem cells and routine therapies;

• Cognitive development.
• Increased development of learning capacity
• Development of being more competent and diligent
• The development of remembering information in a shorter time and keeping it in memory for a longer time
• Environmental and adaptive development
• Gastrointestinal (digestive system) function development
• Immune system development

Method of Application:

The number of cells to be given; determined by the age and weight of the patient. The treatment is carried out with Mesenchymal stem cells produced from the cord blood of babies obtained from the stem cell bank. Which treatment will be applied is decided according to the patient’s condition. It can be performed in 3 sessions with 45-day intervals or by application for 3 consecutive days. The treatment protocol is completely adjusted according to the patient’s condition, a different protocol can be applied for each patient.

Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat is the Success Rate of Stem Cell Therapy?

The size of the stem cells given is small enough to pass through the brain cells. For this reason, the success rate of treatment increases significantly in early diagnosis. In studies, very positive results have been obtained with stem cell therapy. In 85% of the patients, it largely prevented the progression of the disease to more advanced stages and improved the existing bad situation. The most clear and lasting effects of the applied treatments were achieved in the initial stage of the disease (in 90% of cases), when neurological and mental symptoms appear. The results obtained from the patient are evaluated according to the positive increase within 1 year. If positive results are started, the treatment is repeated and the treatment success rate is increased. 

EMPOWERMENT (HARDING PROBLEM)

Stem cell therapy in patients is applied as the most successful treatment method in the treatment of erectile dysfunction in the world in terms of both ease of treatment and definite successful results.

• Stem cell therapy in impotence completely eliminates the erection problem as they touch and transform the cells that provide erection in the penis.
• The treatment can be applied to patients of all ages who have erectile dysfunction.
• Stem cells taken from the patient’s fat tissue are centrifuged in stem cell laboratories, multiplied and given to the patient by intravenous line and/or injection into the penis.
• Stem cell therapy provides at least 50% improvement after the first application in patients with Erectile Dysfunction (impotence / erection) problem, while it provides definite results in continued applications.What is Erectile Dysfunction (Impotence)?Erectile dysfunction (impotence) is the name given to the problem of the penis not being erect enough to enable and maintain sexual intercourse. Erection (hardening) is a process that occurs under the influence of physical, hormonal and psychological factors. Inability to achieve an erection is a functional problem. While there may be many reasons for an erection to fail, it is testosterone, known as the male hormone, that manages the process.What are the Symptoms of Erectile Dysfunction (Impotence) Disease?Experiencing erectile dysfunction once does not lead to a diagnosis of erectile dysfunction. Frequent or persistent erectile dysfunction during intercourse is a sign of erectile dysfunction.

HAIR TRANSPLANTATION WITH STEM CELL

Stem cells are precursor cells found in the body that can differentiate into various cell types. Hair follicles also contain stem cells. However, hair stem cells may be damaged or inactive in cases that result in male or female pattern baldness. By injecting stem cells from the oil into the scalp, they can repair damaged hair follicles and effectively stimulate new hair growth. A revolutionary “hair stem cell therapy” has emerged in hair loss using stem cells obtained from oil. The reason for choosing fat as a source of stem cells is that it is the tissue with the highest number of stem cells in the body. So much so that there are 1000 times more stem cells than bone marrow in adipose tissue.   For hair stem cell treatment, stem cells are separated within 1-2 hours with a special process from the fat taken from the body parts (abdomen, hips, etc.) Stem cells separated from the fat are injected into the hairy and balding skin. Hair treatment with stem cells strengthens existing hair follicles and activates dormant hair follicles to enter the growth phase. Stem cell therapy to the hair can activate the existing inactive and weak hair follicles and encourage them to grow.“Stem cell therapy can be applied as a stand-alone treatment for hair loss or in combination with hair transplantation to achieve better results.”To

Whom Is Stem Cell Hair Treatment Applied?

Stem Cell Hair Treatment is a suitable method for people who want to slow down the shedding by strengthening their hair, who want stronger hair with a healthier look, and who have weak and thin hair. With the application of stem cells to the hair, it is aimed to support the hair follicles, to slow down the hair loss and to increase the durability of the weak existing hair.Hair Stem Cell Treatment PricesHair stem cell treatment prices can be said in the healthiest way after examining the patient. Treatment modalities, combined applications can change the prices of hair stem cell therapy. You can contact us for detailed information about the price of stem cells for hair.

Hair Stem Cell Treatment or Hair Transplantation?

Hair stem cell therapy is not an alternative treatment method instead of hair transplantation. New hair should not be expected by giving stem cells to a completely bald area. However, by strengthening the extremely weak and undersized hair follicles, which we can call dormant, it can make the hair more dense. In completely bald areas, hair transplantation and stem cell therapy can be applied together.

TREATMENT OF HEART DISEASES WITH STEM CELL

In heart diseases, there is no treatment method that directly strengthens the heart muscle, except stem cell therapy, in the world. Different levels of improvement were measured in 87% of patients who received stem cell therapy for heart failure and ischemic heart disease.    • Stem cells have the ability to treat the vessels when they touch the problematic vessel wall, and if there is weakness in the heart muscles, they are used in the treatment of heart failure by transforming into heart muscle cells.

• The number of cells to be given is determined according to the age and weight of the patient.
• Treatment is carried out using endothelial, mesenchymal stem cells (obtained from the patient’s own adipose tissue or bone marrow) or fetal stem cell stem cells.
• Stem cells are given to the patient intravenously.

Heart Disease Treatment with Stem CellsStem cells have the ability to treat vessels when they touch the problematic vessel wall. At the same time, if there is weakness in the heart muscles, it is used in the treatment of heart failure by transforming into heart muscle cells.It accelerates the recovery process after surgery by strengthening the autoimmune system. Accelerates the treatment of heart muscle inflammation and inflammation.Endothelial (treating the vessels) stem cells are used for the vessel walls. However, mesenchymal or fetal stem cells are used together to treat other factors affecting the disease. In this way, the heart muscleautoimmune system and other factors are treated. The treatment of this disease can be done in our Cell Therapy Center.The number of cells to be transplanted is determined according to the age and weight of the patient. Treatment is carried out using endothelial, mesenchymal stem cells (derived from the patient’s own adipose tissue or bone marrow) or fetal stem cells. The decision is made according to the patient’s condition. It is performed in 3 sessions with 45-day intervals or by application for 2 consecutive days. It is given intravenously (through a vein).Various degrees of improvement were seen in 87% of patients with cardiovascular disease.

SKIN REJUVENATION TREATMENT WITH STEM CELL

Since the stem cells die in our skin at certain rates every year starting from the age of 28-30, we age and get wrinkles. It is possible to erase the negative effects of years and turn back time by replacing the lost cells with stem cell therapy.

• Cells taken from the person’s fat cells are multiplied in the laboratory environment and subjected to centrifugation processes, and then injected into the skin. Afterwards, it is given with small injections into the skin of the person in 3 separate cures with 1-month intervals.
• This treatment can be applied to all men and women over the age of 30.
• The procedure is unlikely to fail because it replaces the missing stem cells. The process does not differ from person to person. The number of stem cells in the skin is carried back to 8-10 years in each person who is treated. 

KIDNEY FAILURE TREATMENT WITH STEM CELL

Injection of stem cells promotes the germination of new vascular pathways, bypassing damaged ones, and also strengthens and restores poor functionality, repairs plaque-clogged vessels. On the one hand, with the stem cell injection, it restores the kidney tissue by restoring the kidney vessels.As a result of the treatment of chronic kidney disease using stem cells, when the treatment is started with early diagnosis, the biochemical parameters of blood and urine were normalized by stopping the progression of chronic kidney failure and restoring kidney function.
