THE SCIENCE

The Science Behind Stem Cell Therapy

Clear, research-driven insights into how stem cells work, what they can treat, and their limitations — explained for patients and practitioners.

Stem Cell Science

What are Stem Cells?

Undifferentiated cells that can develop into specialized cell types. Used clinically to support tissue repair, inflammation reduction and immune modulation.

  • Types: Adult (mesenchymal), embryonic, induced pluripotent (iPSC).
  • Sources: Bone marrow, adipose tissue, umbilical cord blood.
  • Typical uses: Regenerative medicine, select immune disorders, adjunctive organ support.

Mechanism — short

Stem cells may act by differentiating into tissue cells, secreting growth factors, modulating immune responses and supporting local repair processes.

How Stem Cell Therapy Works (Step-by-step)

1

Consultation & Diagnosis

Comprehensive assessment and investigations to determine eligibility and objectives.

2

Cell Collection

Collection from the chosen source (bone marrow, adipose, cord blood) under controlled conditions.

3

Lab Processing & QC

Isolation, optional expansion and characterization following GMP/ISO lab procedures.

4

Delivery

Route chosen by indication (injection, infusion, localized implantation).

5

Follow-up & Rehab

Monitoring, rehabilitation and outcome evaluation to assess benefits and manage side effects.

Potential Benefits

  • Reduced inflammation and pain for some patients
  • Support for tissue repair and improved function
  • Minimally invasive options in many indications
  • Personalised treatment planning

Outcomes vary — benefits are not guaranteed and depend on many factors.

Risks & Limitations

  • Many uses are still experimental; evidence strength varies
  • Results can be variable; multiple cycles sometimes necessary
  • Possible side effects: local pain, infection risk, rare immune responses
  • Regulatory approval and standards differ by country

We discuss risks and regulatory context with every patient during informed consent.

What Does Science Say? (Selected studies)

MSCs for Osteoarthritis — RCTs

2023 – randomized trials show modest pain and function improvement in some cohorts.

Summary: Consistent signals for symptom relief; protocols and doses still vary across studies.

Read study

Cell Therapy in Stroke Recovery

2022 – early phase trials; safety signals encouraging.

Summary: Small trials signal feasibility and safety; large-scale efficacy trials are ongoing.

Read study

Umbilical Cord Blood — Systematic Review

2021 – mixed evidence; benefits in selected pediatric protocols.

Summary: Evidence mixed; specific protocols may show benefit in defined populations.
