Amniotic Derived Stem Cell Therapy In California
FAQs on Amniotic Derived Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cells are found in amniotic fluid that is normally discarded after treatment or delivery. Amniotic fluid stem cells are capable of becoming bone cells, fat cells, muscle cells, liver cells, and blood vessel cells. Amniotic fluid stem cells are used 100,000 times in the United States with no adverse events reported.
Where does the amniotic fluid come from?
The amniotic fluid is donated from consenting donors following a scheduled cesarean section. The fetus is not harmed at all.
What is the difference between amniotic fluid stem cells and embryonic stem cells?
Amniotic fluid stem cells have an advantage over embryonic stem cells. The embryonic cells often form into tumors, whereas amniotic stem cells do not. Another advantage is that amniotic fluid can be obtained following delivery from donations. There are no ethical considerations, as the cells do not come from a developing fetus.
How does the amniotic fluid produce stem cells?
Scientists have successfully reprogrammed stem cells in amniotic fluid without introducing extra genes. Experts are investigating the possibility of storing stem cells from donated amniotic fluid in banks to use for research and therapies. Amniotic fluid surrounds them and nourishes the fetus in the womb. The fluid contains stem cells from the fetus, and these cells have the capacity to develop into different types of cells.
How are the amniotic stem cells administered to the patient?
Once the stem cells are processed in the laboratory, they are administered to the patient much like a corticosteroid injection (steroid shot). The California stem cell doctor will administer the injection to the affected joint or body region. After the skin is cleaned, the needle is inserted into the treatment area.
How do amniotic fluid stem cells work?
The amniotic fluid stem cells contain anti-inflammatory properties that provide many benefits. Stem cell injections can restore some degenerated tissue and offer pain relief. They also contain hyaluronic acid, which lubricates tendons and joints, which restores mobility and decreases stiffness.
What are the benefits of amniotic fluid derived stem cells?
Amniotic fluid has many beneficial properties to promote tissue repair and regeneration. These include:
What conditions are treated with amniotic membranes?
Amniotic fluid stem cells are used to treat:
