STEM CELLS — TYPES AND STORAGE

It is believed that the beginning of stem cells research was established in the 1960s by Canadian scientists Ernest McCulloch and James Till.

Simply said, they are unique in their ability to divide, multiply, replace damaged cells and become cells characteristic of different tissues.

Sources of stem cells are bone marrow, the circulation, or blood taken from the umbilical cord after birth. Their formation begins in the very initial phase of embryo development — at the age of 3-5 days.

Most often, they are needed for the treatment of certain malignant or genetic diseases that are passed on in the family. Scientific research in the field of stem cells gives many people hope for the treatment of diseases such as Diabetes, Alzheimer’s, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis, Cerebral Palsy, Osteoarthritis, etc.

How are they retrieved after birth?

First of all, it is absolutely painless and safe for the baby and the mother. The umbilical cord contains two types of stem cells: hematopoietic, found in the blood of the umbilical cord, and mesenchymal, found in the tissue of the umbilical cord. Usually, both blood and part of the umbilical cord itself are taken immediately after it is cut. The whole procedure happens in the process of birth itself in a special sterile, pre-provided set. After transportation to the relevant laboratory, samples are taken for the presence of sexually transmitted infections such as spina bifida, syphilis, hepatitis, etc. and a sterility test. The number and viability of the isolated cells is determined, and if the results meet the standards, freezing is started. According to some scientists, the term for the storage can be unlimited if the cells are stored under the required conditions.

Types :

  • Embryonic stem cells — collected immediately after the birth of the child
  • Adult /somatic/ stem cells — found in tissues, such as bone marrow, blood
  • Hematopoietic — Generated during embryonic development
  • Mesenchymal stem cells — originate from the connective tissue that surrounds the body’s organs.
  • Induced pluripotent stem cells — created in a laboratory

Whether another family member can use the stored cord-derived stem cells or a so-called allogeneic transplant can only be determined after tissue-compatible antigen testing is done to determine the degree of genetic proximity that would allow their use.

HOW LONG DO STEM CELLS KEEP?

Generally speaking, the storage period lasts until the onset of disease necessitating treatment by their transplantation. If not used at an earlier stage, the stem cells are stored for a period of 20 years.

After its expiration, the contract with the respective bank can be renewed by the already grown child. If you want guaranteed access to your donated stem cells, you must store them personally in a tissue bank of your choice. The other option for stem cell donation is to the National Public Umbilical Cord Stem Cell Donor Bank. There, the storage is free, but the difference with private tissue banks is that in the public one, the preserved biological material is made available to the people who need it, whether they are donors or those in need.

STEM CELLS HARVESTING AT BIRTH

NEW LIFE SCHOOL FOR FUTURE AND CURRENT PARENTS

Dear friends,

We share part of our official opening of the New Life School for Future and Present Parents — Burgas.

It will be held twice a month in the renovated hall of the clinic in the seaside town, next to MOL Plaza.

Our goal is to give confidence to future parents, to help them with useful information about everything that awaits them during pregnancy, birth and the first care of the newborn. For many of them, this moment has been dreamed of and awaited for a long time, and it is only natural step our support and connection to continue even after the arrival of their baby. The school is completely free, as the upcoming topics will be published on our Facebook page of the clinic in Burgas.

We are expecting you!

INTRAVENOUS INFUSIONS — GLUTATHIONE AND RESVERATROL

WHAT IS GLUTATHIONE?

— sulfur-containing tripeptide, which is produced intracellularly in the liver from three Ak — cystine, glutamate and glycine.

It is contained in every cell of the human body, making it excl. an important factor in the body’s immune and detoxification function. The body uses glutathione to fight inflammation, stress and toxins. Optimal glutathione levels also benefit the gut, brain dst, CVS, vision and fat burning ability. In addition, glutathione enhances the work of other antioxidants such as vitamin C and E, which makes them even more effective in removing free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and reducing inflammatory processes.

Benefits:

— reduces oxidative stress

— reduces damage to hepatocytes / liver cells /

— improves insulin resistance — reduces the symptoms of a number of autoimmune diseases

— supports fertility

— more and more studies show a positive relationship between optimal levels of glutathione and the treatment of infertility in both sexes.

Due to its natural antioxidant activity, glutathione improves sperm health and egg quality by maintaining a good metabolic balance. Especially in women, glutathione protects eggs from damage caused by oxidative stress during folliculogenesis.

Application: For optimal results, infusion therapies are recommended for 28 days — once every other week / duration 50 min

WHAT IS RESVERATROL?

POWERFUL Antioxidant Resveratrol is an essential compound of the polyphenol family, which are powerful antioxidants. Known for its beneficial effects on health, it can be found in grape seeds, strawberries, nuts, red wine and other plant products.

Resveratrol is beneficial for health, having anti-inflammatory and anti-cardiovascular properties, improves metabolism, reduces the risk of diabetes mellitus, positively affects metabolic pathways and glucose tolerance. Taking Resveratrol improves heart health by reducing bad cholesterol levels, increasing good cholesterol levels, and regulating blood pressure. As one of the most studied phytochemicals, Resveratrol is known for its powerful antioxidant properties and its multiple health benefits, which are as follows:

  • helps improve heart and vascular health by reducing levels of «bad» cholesterol and increasing levels of «good» cholesterol.
  • improves the immune system by protecting the body from infections and diseases.
  • helps reduce inflammation and has anti-inflammatory properties that have a positive effect on diseases such as arthritis and diabetes.
  • improves the health and elasticity of the skin and protects against the harmful effects of UV rays.
  • helps improve sleep quality.
  • helps in the fight against aging by slowing down the process itself.
  • it also protects against degenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
  • helps control blood pressure and improves blood circulation.
  • improves metabolism and participates in blood sugar control and prevention of diabetes
  • helps improve brain function, memory and mental abilities. the function of the endocrine system – the secretion and regulation of hormones.
  • supports fertility and the function of the female and male reproductive system — egg and sperm production.

CORRECT ACCEPTANCE AND DOSAGE OF RESVERATROL 500MG: The product is intravenous, dissolve the vial and pour into a 100ml jar. sodium chloride. The maximum intake is 500 mg 3 times a week. Recommended number of treatments 5 spread over 28 days.
