Stem cells are increasingly used in the treatment of diseases that are associated with the destruction of the structures of the musculoskeletal system, nervous tissue or internal organs. Cell therapy allows doctors to restore lost functions or slow down the development of destructive processes in the body. You can undergo your stem cell therapy in Germany, as this innovative treatment is already used in many specialized centers. You are kindly welcome to book your medical care program through the Booking Health service to get medical attention on the most suitable dates and at the best price.

Principles of cell therapy

Stem cell therapy aims to enhance the regenerative potential of the body or individual organs and anatomical structures.

Stem cells are produced primarily in the bone marrow, after which they enter the bloodstream and are delivered to the target organs. They are the precursors of all other cells in our body. In addition, stem cells secrete growth factors that stimulate the restoration of any tissue.

Cell therapy involves the following types of stem cell injections to the patient:

• The injection of the patient’s own stem cells or donor ones
• The injection of the stem cells derived from the umbilical cord and peripheral blood, bone marrow, adipose or other tissue
• An intravenous injection or the injection into the site of the pathological process (into the eye, cerebrospinal fluid, into the arteries supplying the organ, etc.)
• The injection of stem cells immediately upon their harvesting or frozen
• The injection after their cultivation or without it

What can be treated with stem cell therapy in Germany? 

The most common stem cell administration is for blood cancer treatment, such as leukemia and lymphoma. A stem cell transplant from a donor makes it possible to completely cure even the most neglected and severe cases of blood cancer. For other, non-cancerous diseases, doctors use predominantly autologous (the patient’s own), rather than allogeneic (donor) stem cells.

In second place in terms of the frequency of cell therapy use is orthopedics. With the help of stem cells, doctors accelerate tissue healing after injuries and operations, stimulate bone fusion in patients after fractures, provide cartilage regeneration in a case of arthrosis, and treat chronic inflammatory joint diseases. Basically, stem cells are injected directly into the affected area, for example, inside the joint.

Stem cells are often used in neurology. With their help, it is possible to improve the functions of the peripheral nerves and structures of the central nervous system, for example, in a stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, optic nerve atrophy and other pathologies associated with tissue destruction. SCs are also used in patients with autism spectrum disorders. 

In countries offering advanced medicine, including Germany, stem cell therapies are used to restore the internal organs destroyed by the pathological process. For example, they are used for cirrhosis, chronic pancreatitis, cardiosclerosis, and kidney failure. Basically, the cells are injected through the cubital vein. They penetrate into the affected areas of the internal organs and partially restore them, thereby improving their function. As a result, the disease becomes less severe, its progression slows down, the need for drugs decreases and the risk of complications is reduced.
