Stromal stem cells
Stromal stem cells are the most universal cells with regard to the development into the final cell type, which form human organs and tissues. Scientists have proved that these very cells form the cells of heart, vessels, brain, liver, stomach, pancreas, bowel, skin, bones, muscles and joints. (see the picture below).
International Center of Biotechnology BIOSTEM successfully applies stromal stem cells for treatment of wide range of chronic and acute diseases. BIOSTEM specialists have achieved great results in anti-age therapy using stromal stem cells.
Stromal stem cells are the unique part of a human body. The amount of stromal stem cells in comparison with hemopoietic stem cells is quiet small. Stromal stem cells can be potentially received from any tissue, for instance from fatty tissue. Although, the most common source of stromal stem cells is a bone marrow (see the picture).
Assembly of stromal stem cells in bone marrow
The amount of stromal stem cells depends on the age of a person:
- Bone marrow contains one stromal stem cell among 10 thousand hemopoietic stem cells at birth.
- This amount decreases in 10 times as an adolescent.
- At the age of 50 the amount of stromal stem cells decreses in 50 times.
- There is only one stromal stem cell among 1 million of hemopoietic stem cells at the age of 70.
The above-given correlation proves the necessity to make a reserve of your own stromal stem cells as early as possible. For this purpose ICB BIOSTEM suggests the unique procedure that will allow reserving your own stromal stem cells along with hemopoietic cells without additional costs. BIOSTEM Cryobank created in compliance with GMP standards has all the required conditions and equipment in order to keep the properties of your own stem sells for unlimited period of time.
