Therapy Protocol

Next-gen therapy using human umbilical cord tissue MSCs (Mesenchymal Stem Cells).

At Stem Cell Care India (SCCI), we offer next-gen therapy with human umbilical cord tissue MSC (Mesenchymal Stem Cells) derived. These are cells that have been cultured and expanded in our GMP labs so that they are safe, pure, and top quality. Our treatment is designed to relieve symptoms naturally, decrease the inflammatory process in the body, and sustain good health in the long run.

We additionally maintain global standards and allow no deviation from them throughout our entire process from start to finish, including experimental procedures, clinical trials, treatment, and follow-up. We do not compromise safety, efficacy, and thoroughness in our research as the foundation of the therapy that we offer to patients as a reasonable solution to their various health problems and a possible means to their general well-being improvement.

The treatment process includes:

  1. Cord tissue-derived mesenchymal (live) stem cells administered systemically.
  2. IV vitamin therapy: to make sure the body is hydrated and completely equipped for treatment.
  3. Detox procedure: we guide you through the pre-treatment detox procedure so as to formulate your body for optimum stem cell activation.
  4. Stem cell activation therapies: a musculoskeletal evaluation, followed by acupuncture, physiotherapy, and chiropractic treatment. Lymphatic drainage massage is also used.
  5. Cell activation supplements: a 2-month supply of cell activation supplements — an all-natural supplement intended to increase stem cell efficiency after treatment.

Intelligent Aging

Mesenchymal stem cells from human umbilical cord tissue and the aging process.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells have the potential to slow down the aging process and can be derived from human umbilical cord tissues. Patients can get relief from systemic inflammation because of the anti-inflammatory properties they have. Additionally, MSCs are really good at fixing and making damaged tissues healthy again — important for fighting against getting old and worn out. Individuals can enhance their overall health and live a happy life with the help of these stem cells because they combine tissue repair and anti-inflammatory properties.

Degenerative Condition

How MSCs may help make degenerative conditions better.

Stem cells from human umbilical cords, called MSCs, seem to help make degenerative conditions better. Their strength is in how they can control the immune system, which helps to lower long-lasting swelling that often makes diseases that get worse over time even worse. MSCs help the body's defense system work better, which slows down how bad these conditions get. They can also heal themselves — when they get hurt, the body can fix the damage and make it better.

With the combination of supporting the immune system, reducing inflammation, and fixing tissues, this approach might slow down how fast degenerative diseases get worse. It's a new way to try to handle these problems.

03

Protocol Overview

Our approved regenerative plan uses millions of lab-grown MSCs from ethically sourced umbilical cords.

  • Infusion duration: About 2–3 hours

Methods of Delivering Stem Cells

Several delivery routes are used to help cells stay healthier and make treatments work better.

Intravenous Injection

Stem cells are delivered directly into the bloodstream, allowing for widespread distribution throughout the body, reaching various organs and tissues.

Retrobulbar Injection

Administering stem cells behind the eye can target ocular conditions directly, offering localized treatment for diseases like retinal degeneration.

Intrathecal Injection

Stem cells are injected into the spinal canal, providing therapeutic effects for neurological disorders by targeting the central nervous system.

Intramuscular Injection

Direct delivery into muscles enables the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders and facilitates the regeneration of damaged tissue.

Intradermal Administration

Stem cells are injected into the skin, promoting skin rejuvenation and aiding in wound healing processes.

Liberation Angioplasty

Utilized in treating conditions like multiple sclerosis, stem cells are introduced through catheterization, improving blood flow and reducing inflammation.

Intra-Arterial Injection

Stem cells are injected into specific arteries to target diseases like peripheral artery disease or stroke, promoting tissue repair and regeneration.

05

Kind of Stem Cells Administered

Ethically obtained from certified, full-term human umbilical cords.

SCCI uses cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells ethically obtained from certified, full-term human umbilical cords. These cells aren't a blood product, consequently it is tremendously safe and does not necessitate HLA or phenotypic matching. Mesenchymal stem cells have the aptitude to:

  1. Decrease inflammation
  2. Modulate the immune system
  3. Arouse tissue regeneration
06

Where Our Cells Come From

A fully registered, certified partner medical laboratory.

SCCI is affiliated with an esteemed medical laboratory which is completely registered, cGMP compliant, ISO 9001, and ISO 13485 certified.

Cell Product

The mesenchymal stem cells which we use in our treatments are derived from the human body using allogeneic or autologous procedures. All of our cells are expanded using safe and standard protocols and are then flown overnight in sub-zero CryoPort™ containers straight to our clinic for treatment. To help ensure maximum treatment efficiency, all of our cells are ISCT tested for sustainability before usage. Following cGMP rules closely makes sure our mesenchymal stem cell product is exactly what it's supposed to be — strong, high-quality, and pure.

07

Validation & Test of Viability

Checking that cells used in treatment are alive, healthy, and working well.

Researchers do viability tests to find out that the cells used in the treatment are dead or alive. It checks if cells are healthy, working well, and in good condition. The benchmark of viability in our partner's lab is higher than most labs.

We make sure that our treatments keep cells alive and healthy. This not only follows all the required quality standards and rules but also makes sure that our treatments work well by preventing poor handling or low quality. Our automated cell counters allow us to quickly and reliably count and evaluate MSCs every time. With these advanced tools, we can tell if cells are alive or dead, count the total and live cells, and check our counts using built-in imaging.

08

Unrestricted Advantage

Why human umbilical cord tissue–derived MSCs can avoid immune attack.

Human umbilical cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) can avoid being attacked by the immune system. This means they can be used for transplants from one person to another without causing harmful immune reactions.

These properties are mainly because they have low levels of MHC class I molecules and no MHC class II molecules on their surface. This helps MSCs avoid being noticed by CD4+ T cells and stops T cell activation. Patients undergoing MSC therapy do not experience DNA transfer or propagation from MSCs themselves. Horizontal DNA transfer is not thought to occur based on the brief survival of infused MSCs, the absence of genomic integration of designed transgenes, and the paracrine methods of action.

09

Clinical Trials and Further Research

Working with research centers, scientists, and review boards.

Stem Cell Care India works with well-known research centers, leading scientists, and review boards to ensure our carefully designed stem cell treatment plans are effective. We learn a lot about how stem cells help people by doing studies that patients contribute to. These studies look at how stem cells work in humans and how they fight inflammation. We also do tests with stem cells in living things to find out more about their benefits for our health.

Our research, which was approved by a special committee, could help people with different diseases. It also helps us learn more about fixing bodies with stem cells.

Successive Results

Measuring changes in signs of inflammation and patient-reported vitality.

The study measures changes in special signs of inflammation along with the information people give in vitality questionnaires called PAR-Q. How a patient reacts depends on many things inside their body, but it's also influenced by how they live and what they do.

People who stick to exercising, eating healthy foods that reduce inflammation, and avoid drinking alcohol, smoking, and too much caffeine can keep feeling better for over 4 years, depending on their condition. Most patients have said they don't show much decline up to 48 months after the treatment, and they hardly ever go back to how they were before the treatment. Our team checks in with patients over subsequent years after treatment to gather information about how well the treatment worked.

Safety and Regulations in Our Clinic

Topic 11 of 11

Careful work at every stage to keep patients safe.

Even though MSCs are very safe, we still do a lot of careful work when we make them, check them, give them to patients, and watch over the patients. This helps keep patients safe.

MSCs are one of the best ways to treat many medical conditions because they have the regenerative potential to restore damaged cells with new ones. But, to optimize the cells and use their full potential, many clinical trials are still in progress, which is why safety and regulation is needed to make it more safe and effective for patients.
