With their unique ability to transform into various cell types, stem cells have transformed the field of regenerative medicine. They hold immense promise in treating a wide range of medical conditions and injuries by repairing or replacing damaged tissues and organs. From heart disease and neurological disorders to musculoskeletal injuries, the applications of stem cells can change the course of medical treatments. Let’s look at some examples

2. What can Regenerative Medicine do?
Regenerative medicine has the potential to replace tissues and/or organs that are
diseased or damaged by degenerative diseases, trauma, and congenital disorders.
It helps in fortifying the body’s ability to reengineer/rebuild cells, tissues, and organs
(self-healing).

3. What are the types of Regenerative Medicine?
The four types of regenerative medicine include:
● Stem cell therapy
● Cartilage regeneration
● Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
● Prolotherapy

4. What are stem cells?
Stem cells are unspecialised cells that are procured from one part of the
body.
They can differentiate, and become/grow into other kinds of cells, including
specialised cells.
Stem cells catalyse the natural self-healing process of our body which has
been disrupted by illness, injury, or disease. They enable this process by
growing/dividing into healthy cells that can replace the damaged cells.

5. What are the different types of stem cells?
● Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs) - Cells derived from the inner cell mass of an embryo in its
early stages of development
● Adult Stem Cells (ASCs) - Undifferentiated cells procured from fully developed tissues
like the brain and bone marrow
● Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs) - Genetically reprogrammed stem cells that
exhibit ESCs’ characteristics
● Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) - ASCs with anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory,
self-renewal, cell-division, signaling, and differentiation properties

6. Application of stem cells in regenerative
medicine
With their unique ability to transform into various cell types, stem cells have
transformed the field of regenerative medicine.
They hold immense promise in treating a wide range of medical conditions and injuries
by repairing or replacing damaged tissues and organs.
From heart disease and neurological disorders to musculoskeletal injuries, the
applications of stem cells can change the course of medical treatments.
Let’s look at some examples

7. Stem cells for neurodegenerative disorders
Neural stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells, and induced pluripotent stem cells have
shown incredible potential in managing conditions like Parkinson's disease,
Alzheimer's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Since these conditions involve the progressive loss of neurons, stem cells are injected
with the aim to replace damaged neurons and restore neural function.
Stem cells can slow down the progression of the condition.

8. Stem cells for musculoskeletal injuries
Injected mesenchymal stem cells can stimulate the regeneration of
cartilage, reduce pain, and improve joint function in musculoskeletal
conditions such as cartilage injuries and osteoarthritis.

9. Stem cells for Type 1 Diabetes
Injected mesenchymal stem cells aim to replace the insulin-producing
beta cells.

10. Other diseases that stem cell therapy
can manage
● Inflammatory conditions
● Orthopedic conditions
● Trauma-induced conditions
● Autoimmune diseases
● Neurological disorders
● Metabolic disorders
● Hematopoietic diseases
● Cardiovascular illnesses
● Gastrointestinal disorders
● Kidney disorders
● Lung disease
● Liver disorders
● Cancers
● Skin disorders
● Ocular disorders

11. Stem Cell Therapy at Plexus
We use autologous mesenchymal stem cells that are typically sourced from different
types of tissue (from the patient’s body) such as:
● Umbilical cord - collected at the time of birth
● Bone marrow - through a process called bone marrow aspiration
● Adipose tissue - through liposuction
● Peripheral blood - through apheresis (like blood donation)

12. We offer customised regenerative rehabilitation for the following conditions:
● Stroke
● Multiple Sclerosis
● Parkinson’s Disease
● Spinal Cord Injury
● Spinocerebellar Ataxia
● Osteoarthritis
● Autoimmune conditions
● Neurodevelopmental disorders
● Muscular Dystrophies
● Motor Neuron Diseases
● Brachial Plexus Injury
● Myasthenia Gravis
● Osteoarthritis
● ACL Tear
● Sports Injuries
● Nerve Damage
