Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Delve into the world of mesenchymal stem cells, a unique subset of adult stem cells nestled within our connective tissues. Their unparalleled ability to morph into diverse tissue cells, combined with an innate knack for homing in on injury sites, has positioned them at the forefront of clinical use. Beyond their transformative potential, they excel in signaling tissue regeneration, making them a prime choice in the realm of therapeutic applications.

Distinctive Qualities
of Mesenchymal Stem Cells

  • Holds promise to rectify enzyme defects in genetic disorders.

  • Easily isolated from diverse tissues and multiplied in lab settings.

  • Demonstrates both immunomodulatory and immunosuppressive capabilities.

  • Ensures minimal side effects and poses no major adverse reactions.

  • Compatible for allogenic use without triggering immune rejection.

  • Innate resilience and adaptability, ideal for gene therapy endeavors.

Although there are many sources of mesenchymal stem cells in the body, the sources of MSCs we use are:

Mesenchymal Stem Cell from Bone Marrow

Mesenchymal Stem Cell from Adipose Tissue

Synovial Origin Mesenchymal Stem Cell

Mesenchymal Stem Cell from Cord Matrix

Synovial Origin Mesenchymal Stem Cell

The synovium, a unique mesenchymal tissue, lines the inner surfaces of joints, bursae, and tendon sheaths within our movement system. Mesenchymal stem cells sourced from the synovium play a pivotal role in the regeneration of cartilage and the meniscus.

Uses of Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Orthopedics

  • Contributes to bone formation through osteoblastic activity.

  • Displays high osteogenic activity in areas with osteonecrosis.

  • Aids in type-1 collagen production, osteoblastic differentiation, and increases bone mineral density in osteogenesis imperfecta.

  • Facilitates better bone union and fusion, improving by up to 80%, in cases of vertebral fractures.

  • Assists in full-thickness cartilage formation through chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation in diseases causing significant cartilage damage, such as rheumatoid arthritis, senile osteoarthritis, hemophilic arthropathy, reactive arthritis, and osteochondritis dissecans.

  • Enhances healing rates of avascular peripheral meniscus tears.

  • Demonstrates rapid recovery and reduces rerupture rates in tendon damage repair.

Mesenchymal Stem Cell Membrane and Its Applications:

Derived from sources such as the umbilical cord, adipose tissue, and bone marrow, mesenchymal stem cells can be integrated into a membrane primarily made up of type-1 and type-3 collagen. This specially crafted membrane acts as a therapeutic patch, promoting tissue regeneration. Once applied, these cells adapt and differentiate based on the unique signals from the targeted area. Potential applications for this mesenchymal stem cell membrane include:

- Osteoarthritis

- Cartilage degradation

- Synovitis

- Subchondral bone sclerosis

- Osteophyte conditions
