STEM CELLS
Stem cells are basic, non-specialized cells that have a huge potential for reproduction, as well as an exceptional ability to turn into specialized cells, thus forming tissues. Due to these properties, they are used for many years in medicine, allowing you to restore or replace damaged cells. Stem cells are found particularly in umbilical cord blood.
The primary source of stem cells was bone marrow (bone marrow transplantation is, in fact, the transplantation of stem cells from bone marrow), now stem cells from cord blood are more often used for treatment. Another source of cells is peripheral blood obtained from donors after previous pharmacological mobilization.
ANATOMY OF CELLS
Internal organs, vessels, skin, and all other tissues are formed from stem cells during fetal development. Due to the fact that the process of differentiation of cells occurs before birth, the developing organism itself contains the largest number of stem sells, and by the time of birth, most stem cells are stored in the umbilical cord blood, umbilical cord tissue and placenta.
There are stem cells in the body of adult as well. This is a kind of «repair kit» that the body uses to help restore and renew organs and tissues. But the older the person becomes, the less stem cells he or she has, and the less opportunities to «fix» the affected organ are. Reducing the number of stem cells and slowing their production by the body is a natural process that is part of the physical ageing process.

TYPES OF STEM CELLS
- Totipotent cells are the only cells in the body that can differentiate into any type of body cell or otherwise be able to create an entire organism.
- Pluripotent cells are cells formed during the next stage of development of a fertilized cell — a zygote. These are cells that have the ability to differentiate into each of the three types of components that occur in the human body during development before birth — germinal layer: mesoderms, ectoderms and endoderms.
- Multipotent cells — appear in the region of the «only» single germ layer. These cells can develop into all cell types only within a certain germ layer from which they originate. This group also includes hematopoietic stem cells, the source of which is human cord blood.
- Unipotent cells — the last type of cell — can turn into only one type of cell — precisely defined mature cells (for example, epithelial cells), while maintaining in comparison with mature cells ability to divide.

STEM CELL TREATMENT
Cell therapy is an innovative, extremely promising method of treating diseases and injuries, which allows you to restore damaged body tissues and organs by transplanting healthy new cells — stem cells. Stem cells have a unique ability to transform into all types of tissues and cells of the body. Due to this, they restore damaged organs and their functions.
Stem cells are successfully used in the world to treat about 100 serious diseases, with some ailments this is the only effective method of treatment.
Thanks to advances in medicine, today you can take stem cells not only from the ovum, embryo or cord blood of a newborn, but also from the adult tissues of each organism! Such cells can also be obtained from adipose tissue and synovial membrane.

STEM CELLS IN ORTHOPAEDICS
Currently, stem cells are an opportunity for patients to repair cartilage defects, joint pain and bone fusion disorders. Combination of surgical therapy (most often arthroscopy) and stem cells are increasingly becoming an alternative to alloplasty (endoprosthetics) of the joints. Cell therapy in combination with the right rehabilitation can restore patients to effectively perform everyday activities, and professional athletes to their best shape.
The use of own cells to treat diseases in the body is one of the most innovative therapeutic methods in orthopedics, with wide horizons of further development. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are widely used in the clinic for tissue regeneration and repair, as they are able to turn into fat, bone, cartilage and muscle cells.
Specially conducted studies have shown the ability of the injected MSCs to attach at the site of damage and regenerate cartilage.

REJUVENATION BY STEM CELLS
For procedures within the framework of «anti-age» therapy (that is, anti-ageing therapy), both donor and own (autologous) stem cells are used. The possibilities of anti-ageing therapy using stem cells can be used by women and men.
«Anti-age» stem cell procedures can be carried out both for young people for the prevention of age-related changes and the maximum «delay» of ageing, and for middle-aged and elderly people. In this case, stem cells and other biologics will help maintain the functions of all organs and systems, including cardiovascular, increase immunity, promote the development of anti-tumor factors, improve the quality of sexual life, change the appearance for the better, positively affecting the condition of the skin, increasing its elasticity and ability to renew.
Anti-age stem cell therapy is becoming increasingly popular all over the world every year. Its capabilities are expanding in parallel with the development of cell medicine. The collection and storage of cord blood and placenta stem cells is a step towards long-term youth for a child born today and an opportunity to preserve youth for many years for their loved ones.

GENERAL INFORMATION
In the 70s of the twentieth century, stem cell rejuvenation became popular — these are «injections of youth» that Western actors could afford, and those who did not want to be exposed to ageing and had enough money introduced (transplanted) stem cells to activate the processes of rejuvenation of the body. Today, stem cell preparations are actively used in cosmetology and gerontology.
Great interest and prospects for science are the possibilities of stem cell biologics in the treatment of many diseases, including severe and those that were previously considered incurable. The list of these diseases reaches several dozens.
ALGORITHM OF STEM CELL REJUVENATION
- Examination, delivery of the prescribed medical tests, drawing up a conclusion on the nature and severity of the disease, prescribing the required amount of the drug/frequency of administration.
- Meeting with the doctor, checking the correctness of the primary diagnostic version based on the results of clinical tests. Assignment of MSC sampling date. Consultation with an anesthesiologist.
- MSC sampling or selection of donor cells
- On the day established by the doctor, administration is carried out
Improvements can be observed in the first week after the procedure of introduction into the patient’s body. After 1-1.5 months, the progress of therapy becomes even more obvious.
