A:  Cell therapy is simply helping your body do what is does naturally. If you get a cut on your skin, stem cells in your blood go to that cut. They lodge in the damaged tissue and receive signals from the adjacent damaged tissue. The stem cell responds by sending out it own signals or ( emails ) to the body. It requests materials, like proteins, to rebuild what was damaged, to regenerate the tissue, the natural healing process.

Modern stem cell therapy is the process of finding the adult stem cells that are best at repairing specific damaged tissue, be it vascular, heart, neurological, pancreas, etc. These specific cells are isolated in the lab, cultured, multiplied and activated. They are your repair cells, your DNA and know how to fix you. Then the doctor puts them back into your body, targeted to the damaged tissue. This can be by IV, direct injection into the heart muscle, direct injection into damaged spinal cord, direct injection into the pancreas or direct injection into the area of the brain damaged by stroke.

The stem cells can do two things. Differentiate and mature into that type of tissue - a nerve cell, heart muscle, cartilage or whatever. They can also help support other cells resident in that tissue to mature into healthy cells. In some case both situations may occur. This process is still being investigated and holds the key to future medical treatments. One thing for sure is that adult stem cell therapy is being used today to treat somebody with a similar condition you are concerned about.
