Stem cells are undifferentiated and unique cells with the potential to develop into various specialized cell types in the body. They are capable of self-renewal and differentiation.

2. What are stem cells?
● Stem cells are undifferentiated and unique cells with the potential to develop into
various specialized cell types in the body. They are capable of self-renewal and
differentiation.
● Their ability to repair damaged tissues make them especially important as a type of
alternative treatment for a wide range of medical conditions, from neurological
disorders to heart disease.

3. 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

4. Use of Stem Cells
● Disease Modeling
Stem cells are used to generate disease-specific cell lines which can help determine the
progression of a disease, its triggers, and therapies. This can be useful in research of
degenerative, neurological, and genetic disorders.
● Personalized Medication
Stem cells are used in patient-specific therapies by taking into account family history
and disease progression.
● Gene Therapy and Genetic Editing
Inherited diseases are managed through genetically modified stem cells.
● Regenerative Medicine
Stem cells can treat 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.

5. Types of stem cell therapy
Autologous therapy
● Cells are procured from patient’s own bone marrow, blood, or fat tissue
Allogeneic therapy
● Cells are procured from external donors

6. Administering stem cells
Stem cells can be administered in the following ways:
● Intravenous
● Intrathecal (directly into the spinal canal)
● Inject into problem areas like hips, spine, knees, etc.

7. Stem Cell Therapy at Plexus
We use mesenchymal stem cells that are typically sourced from different types of tissue 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)

8. Regenerative Rehabilitation Programs at Plexus
We offer customized 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 Cerebral palsy

9. Benefits of stem cell therapy at Plexus
