Chronic and acute disease treatment

Since the age of Hippocrates the physicians have been concerned about the problem of how to replace the dead tissues with new ones. Medical history knows many bold and yet failed attempts to make such “miracle” happen. Today scientists know and understand the main reasons for these failures.

• First of all, the cell and tissue transplant from other person or animal without appropriate matching and special preparation causes unavoidable rejection reactions and results in death of allogenic biological material. That is why it is essential to use one’s own (autologous) cells and tissues specially cultivated in vitro.  This method is successfully applied in the International Center of Biotechnology BIOSTEM.
• Secondly, it is important not only to assure engraftment of healthy cells, but also to manage them to reach the location, where their active actions are mostly needed.

Fortunately, the significant breakthrough in this field was made by the end of the last century.

Scientists have established that stem cells injected into circulating blood possess ability to settle in damaged body zones and transform into corresponding cell type, consequently forming healthy tissue or organ. These discoveries became foundation for using stem cell in treatment of wide range of chronic and acute diseases. Moreover, it is important to remember that the best option of the cellular therapy is a target injection into damaged zone with cells that have the same functional properties as damaged ones. It is also possible to apply artificial 3D structures, which include various types of cells, cultivated in vitro.

This method is rather complicated, since such organs like brain or heart are difficult to reach by means of injection. Therefore BIOSTEM specialists apply sophisticated high-end equipment to perform these procedures. BIOSTEM technologies make stem cell therapy highly effective treatment for large number of diseases.
