Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs), the type of stem cells Celltex works with, exist naturally in the body and actively work to repair and regenerate.
As we age, our body’s natural repair systems become less active as the quantity of MSCs deteriorates. Eventually, this native store of MSCs may become inadequate for when the body must respond to overwhelming damage from a severe injury or chronic inflammation.
This is where Celltex can help by culturing large quantities of your MSCs for use in therapies that aim to empower your body's natural repair system by greatly increasing the number of MSCs in your body.
But what do these cells do once they are administered back into the body through MSC therapy?
It’s a common misconception that the only benefit of stem cells is their ability to differentiate into other cell types for the purpose of repairing damaged tissue and organs – but MSCs serve another vital function: to locate and travel to sites of injury and inflammation so they can signal surrounding cells to begin the natural repair process.
Join this webinar to follow along on the journey your cultured stem cells take once they are administered back into the body during MSC therapy. Dr. Derek Guillory, stem cell expert and certified functional medicine practitioner, joins to share the basics of MSC therapy, the homing and signaling properties of MSCs, and the different kinds of MSC therapy currently available.
