Introduction of our Stem Cell Treatment and doctors
Tiantan Puhua hospital uses the newest breakthroughs to provide effective and safe stem
cell treatments to a wide range of neurological and physical disorders. We use the latest
knowledge of stem cells behavior in the human body within an individually tailored medical
plan according to the patient’s condition. Using stem cell transplantation, intensive
physiotherapy and medicines, this combination of therapies has so far proved itself to be
most efficient in bringing a high level of recovery to our patients.
What are stem cells?
What are stem cells?
Stem cells are the master cells of the human body. What
define stem cells from other cells is their ability to
self-generate themselves and the ability to differentiate
into other cell types. Stem cells are at the center of a
new field of science called regenerative medicine. All
stem cells, regardless of their source, have three general
properties: they are capable of dividing and renewing
themselves for long periods; they are unspecialized; and
they can give rise to specialized cell types. Self-regeneration is the ability of stem cells to
divide and produce more stem cells. During early development, the cell division is
symmetrical i.e. each cell divides to gives rise to daughter cells each with the same
potential. Later in development, the cell divides asymmetrically with one of the daughter
cells produced, also a stem cell and the other a more differentiated cell (such as brain cell,
blood cell, etc.). When stem cells are being transplanted into the body and arrive (through
migration or through direct injection) into injured part of the brain being targeted for tissue
regeneration, the stem cells are come into contact with microenvironment in the body,
where the stem cells can settle into the tissue surrounding them.
Stem cells can typically be broken into four types:
Embryonic stem cells - Stem cells taken from
human embryos
Fetal stem cells- Stem cells taken from aborted
fetal tissue
Umbilical stem cells - Stem cells take from
umbilical cords
Adult stem cells - Stem cells taken from adult
tissue
At Tiantan Puhua hospital 7 main types of stem cells are being used:
1. Human fetal Neural Stem Cells (hNSC);
2. Human bone Marrow-derived mesenchymal Stem cells (hBM-MSC);
3. Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSC);
4. Human retinal pigment epithelial cells (hRPE):
5. Human insulin producing cells (hIPC, unipotent), clinical application: Diabetes.
6. Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSC), clinical application:
cosmetic treatment, and an alternative treatment of BMMSC.
7. Human hematopoietic stem cells (hHSC), clinical application: reestablish
hematopoietic system.
Human fetal Neural Stem cells (hNSC) are
self-regenerating, multipotent cells, found in the human brain
which have the potential to differentiate into three major cell
types: nerve cells (neurons), astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, and
to self renew sufficiently to provide an adequate number of cells
in the brain. When brain cells are damaged or are dying, due to a
disease or an injury, fetal neural stem cells are the best known
source for treatment. Since most brain injuries, stroke,
degenerative diseases and Demyelinating disorders affect several
areas in the brain, the most effective and safe procedure to
deliver neural stem cell into the brain is via a Lumbar Puncture
(also called Spinal Tap): a spinal injection in the lumbar area
(lower back) into the CSF (Cerebral Spinal Fluid). In our clinic, hNSC is applied to treat the
