Applications of Adult Stem Cells
Hematology and Oncology
Bone Marrow Transplants are used to treat blood cancers (like leukemia) and immune system disorders.
- Stem cells regenerate healthy blood cells after chemotherapy or radiation.
Orthopedics and Sports Injuries
ASCs are used to repair damaged cartilage, treat osteoarthritis, and heal sports injuries.
- Example: Stem cells from fat tissue can regenerate cartilage in injured knees.
Regenerative and Anti-Aging Medicine
ASCs are used to rejuvenate skin, promote hair growth, and reduce inflammation in chronic conditions.
Chronic Diseases
Adult stem cells help manage autoimmune diseases like lupus and Crohn’s disease.
Wound Healing
They improve the healing of burns, diabetic ulcers, and surgical scars.
DHA Regulations for Adult Stem Cell Therapies
The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) ensures that all treatments using adult stem cells meet the highest standards of safety and quality.
1. Licensed Clinics and Laboratories
All facilities performing stem cell therapies must be DHA-licensed and meet strict technical and safety standards.
2. Patient Consent and Education:
Patients must be fully informed about the benefits, risks, and alternatives before undergoing any adult stem cell therapy.
3. Approved Applications Only
DHA permits adult stem cell therapies for specific conditions such as blood disorders, joint pain, and tissue regeneration.
4. Ethical Harvesting Practices
DHA prohibits unregulated sourcing or storage of stem cells, ensuring treatments are ethical and safe.
Common Questions About Adult Stem Cells
1. How Are Adult Stem Cells Harvested?
ASCs are usually collected from bone marrow, fat tissue, or blood through minimally invasive methods.
2.Are Adult Stem Cells Safe?
Yes. Therapies using ASCs are widely recognized as safe, especially when performed under DHA regulation.
3.What Diseases Can Adult Stem Cells Treat?
ASCs are effective for treating blood disorders, cartilage injuries, autoimmune diseases, and more.
4.How Long Does It Take to See Results?
Results depend on the condition being treated. Many patients experience improvement within weeks to months.
Could Your Own Cells Heal You?
Imagine healing chronic pain or regenerating tissues using cells from your own body.
Adult stem cells are making this a reality, offering safe and effective solutions for a wide range of conditions.
