At our centres in Bangalore and Hyderabad, we offer regenerative rehabilitation for myasthenia gravis. Mesenchymal stem cell therapy, a crucial component of Plexus’ rehabilitation program offers the following benefits:

2. What is Myasthenia Gravis?
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune condition that affects 20 out of every 100,000 people.
It is a lifelong neuromuscular disease that affects the individual’s ability to control muscles
voluntarily. Eventually, it causes incredible weakness in the muscles.
In a patient with MG, the immune system malfunctions by releasing antibodies that destroy
receptor sites and disrupt communication between nerve and muscle cells.

3. Symptoms of Myasthenia Gravis
● Drooping eyelids, also known ptosis
● Facial muscle weakness
● Limb weakness
● Speech trouble
● Dysphagia
● Double vision
● Inability to hold neck up
● Respiratory problems
● Fatigue
As the disease advances, these symptoms can get progressively worse.

4. Causes of Myasthenia Gravis
● Presence of protein blocking antibodies
● Enlarged thymus gland
● Tumor in thymus gland
● Family history (mothers with MG may give birth to children with MG)
This type of MG is called neonatal MG. Timely diagnosis and intervention can help
children recover within 2-3 months after birth.

5. Risk factors of Myasthenia Gravis
● Medication, typically beta blockers, anesthetics, antibiotics
● Pregnancy
● Menstruation
● Fatigue
● Surgery
● Illness
● Infection
● Stress

6. Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy for Myasthenia Gravis
At our centres in Bangalore and Hyderabad, we offer regenerative rehabilitation for myasthenia
gravis.
Mesenchymal stem cell therapy, a crucial component of Plexus’ rehabilitation program offers the
following benefits:
Immunomodulation
● Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have immunomodulatory properties that help them
regulate the immune system's responses
Anti-Inflammatory Effects
● MSCs secrete anti-inflammatory molecules that reduce inflammatory response
● This can stall disease progression and decrease the severity of symptoms

7. Tissue Repair and Regeneration
● MSCs differentiate into various cell types, such as muscle cells and other tissues
● Their regenerative abilities help in the repair of damaged tissues at the neuromuscular
junction
Tolerance Induction
● Research suggests MSCs contribute to induction of immune tolerance
● This helps reduce the immune system’s unwarranted attack on healthy tissues

8. Advantages of stem cell therapy
Additional benefits of stem cell therapy for individuals suffering from myasthenia gravis include:
● Better symptoms management
● Faster injury reversal
● Improved quality of life
● Enhanced everyday functionality
● Prevention of further nerve damage
● Speedy post-procedure recovery

9. Stem cell therapy at India’s first ISO-Certified Stem Cell Research Center
Plexus Neuro and Stem Cell Research Centre uses mesenchymal stem cells.
The procedure is conducted by Dr. Sadiq, India’s no. 1 stem cell specialist, and his team of
highly-skilled and experienced stem cell specialists.
