Adult Stem Cells

Adult stem cell treatment is one of the most promising areas of medical science. An adult stem cell, or ASC, is a multi-potent stem cell in adult humans that can be used to replace cells which have been damaged, or simply died. These adult stem cells can be harvested from a variety of sources such as bone marrow, subcutaneous fat and/or blood. The ASC can be stored for future use and reintroduced intravenously or locally to treat a variety of ailments or conditions including aging. Adult stem cells may also be used for non-medical or cosmetic procedures such as topical applications which simply affect appearance.

Through a collaboration between the Regenerative Medicine Institute as well as American CryoStem, Dr. McClain is among one of two U.S. physicians to offer ASC collection through adipose tissue and/or blood.

Much research has been conducted on the effectiveness of stem cell therapy in both chronic and acute diseases, as well as injury. Although research is ongoing, stem cells have been used in the clinical setting for over 40 years to treat diseases such as leukemia and lymphoma through bone marrow transplants. Stem cells are also being explored as a regenerative therapy for heart disease and are even being considered for the restoration of blood vessels.

But stem cells aren’t just used to treat disease. Professional athletes have been taking advantage of the effects of stem cells for years to treat sports-related injuries to the shoulder, knee and even neck.

Unlocking the potential for a healthy future

Collecting your stem cells today could be the answer to certain healthcare issues that may arise in the future, especially if you have a family history of diabetes, cancer, or even heart or vascular disease (such as peripheral artery disease, aneurysm or blood clots).

Currently, there are close to 2,000 clinical trials registered in the United States investigating the potential of adult stem cells to treat a myriad of diseases.1Researchers are learning more each day about how the restorative properties of stem cells may help in diabetes, heart and vascular disease, autoimmune diseases, organ regeneration and injured tissues, just to name a few.

There is potential for stem cells to treat many conditions:

  • Heart disease
  • Vascular disease
  • Diabetes
  • Autoimmune disease
  • Lupus
  • Multiple sclerosis
  • Crohn’s disease
  • Nerve regeneration
  • Orthopedic repair
  • Alzheimer’s disease
  • Wound healing
  • Burn healing
  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
