Frequently asked questions

About stem cells

1.What types of stem cells exist?
In general, there are two main groups of stem cells: embryonic and adult (somatic) stem cells. Embryonic stem cells are derived from embryos at an early stage of development, whereas adult stem cells are taken from fully developed tissues and organs. Both types have different potential uses and applications.
2.Are all types of stem cells safe for therapeutic use?
Not all stem cells are the same when it comes to therapeutic use. Adult stem cells are better suited for treating specific conditions, as they are more specialized than embryonic stem cells, which are less mature and have the potential to develop into various tissue types.
3.How do stem cells work?
Mesenchymal stem cells migrate to the damaged area and differentiate into the cells of the affected tissue, releasing biologically active substances to accelerate tissue repair and regeneration, reduce inflammation, and modulate the activity of the patient’s own cells.

Stem cell treatment

1.Is stem cell treatment ethical?
A common misconception is that stem cells can only be obtained from aborted embryos or clones, but this is not true. At ReoCell Clinic, we work with samples sourced from adipose tissue, bone marrow, and the umbilical cord — these are mesenchymal stem cells, and their extraction process does not harm either the child or the adult.
2.What diseases are most commonly treated?
The potential use of stem cells covers a wide range of diseases, including:
  • Parkinson's disease
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes
  • Stroke
  • Burns
  • Multiple sclerosis
  • Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
  • Alzheimer's disease
  • Ischemic diseases
  • Skin disorders
  • Degenerative diseases
  • Spinal muscular atrophy
  • Ischemic heart disease
  • Dilated cardiomyopathy
  • Congestive heart failure
  • Peripheral artery disease
  • Liver cirrhosis
  • Chronic kidney disease
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Cartilage defects
  • Bone fractures and non-union
  • Crohn's disease
  • Graft-versus-host disease, and others.
3.How are stem cells administered?
At ReoCell Clinic, stem cells are administered in several ways, depending on the disease and the physical condition of each patient. The most common methods include intravenous, intramuscular, or intra-articular injections.
4.Are there any risks or side effects of the therapy?
In general, aside from initial pain at the injection site, patients do not experience significant discomfort. Some patients may have increased body temperature, headache, or nausea. However, these side effects rarely last more than three days and typically resolve within 24 hours.
5.What is the recovery time after the therapy?
The recovery time after stem cell therapy varies depending on the individual patient. In most cases, patients can return to normal activities a few days after the procedure.
