Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disorder that affects many joints, including those in the hands and feet. In rheumatoid arthritis, the body's immune system attacks its own tissue. Fortunately, ongoing research shows that this disorder may be helped with mesenchymal stem cell treatment. Stem cells have the ability to change into any type of cell in the body.
Mesenchymal stem cells are a type of adult stem cell that can differentiate into a variety of different stem cells. In this article we discuss mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and answer the questions: what are mesenchymal stem cells and what are they used for?
Stem cell therapy is the administration of stem cells, usually through IV or injection, to provide relief for a disease or condition. Stem cell therapy can be used to treat cardiovascular diseases and orthopedic conditions, as well as assist in the growth of new hair and skin tissue.
Stem cell-based therapies have the potential to treat and/or eradicate many of the most debilitating diseases and injuries that we may face during our lives. They, stem cells, are under-appreciated and misrepresented, and certain types (like embryonic) can be ethically contentious.
Umbilical cord tissue-derived MSCs (mesenchymal stem cells), have been shown to improve post-acute COVID-19 symptomatology by significantly decreasing inflammatory cytokines, modulating the immune system, and improving recovery times. Cytokines are a category of small proteins important in cell signaling.
