Stem Cell Therapy

Stem Cell Therapy (SCT) is becoming increasingly important in modern orthopedics. More and more patients are looking for ways to effectively treat joint problems without having to undergo surgery. This is exactly where SCT comes in: an innovative approach that specifically activates the body's natural self-healing powers.

SCT treatment uses the body’s own stem cells from abdominal fat tissue to regenerate damaged joints, reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and improve mobility in the long term. This innovative method is a gentle and sustainable alternative to surgery, especially for degenerative diseases (osteoarthritis)! Stem cells are cells that can renew themselves and develop into different cell types. There are different types, e.g.: embryonic stem cells (pluripotent – can form almost all cell types), adult stem cells (multipotent – e.g. adipose tissue stem cells) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells) – artificially reprogrammed body cells.

Stem cells work not only through their ability to divide, but also through the substances they secrete, known as exosomes. This means that a large part of the regenerative effect of stem cells comes from exosomes, not (only) from the stem cells themselves. They are tiny extracellular vesicles (30–150 nm in size) that are released by almost all cells, including stem cells. They contain biologically active molecules such as proteins, lipids, mRNA, and microRNA. These small “communication packages” transport information between cells – a kind of biological courier service. Stem cells are the “original cells.” Exosomes are the “messenger substances”; they

transport healing signals to injured or inflamed cells,
stimulate cell growth, repair, and inflammation inhibition,
have an immunomodulatory effect (i.e., they regulate the immune system).

Medical significance:

wound healing and tissue regeneration
osteoarthritis and joint regeneration
neurological diseases (e.g., Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s)
cosmetic applications (e.g., anti-aging)
