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 bodys 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

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.
• Lets 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 patients 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
Regenerative Rehabilitation Programs at Plexus

• We offer customised regenerative rehabilitation
  for the following conditions
• Stroke
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Parkinsons 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
