To respond to this question, it is first essential to understand the function of stem cells. In general, direct differentiation and paracrine signaling are the two distinct ways that stem cells carry out regenerative functions.
Paracrine signaling is the process by which stem cells release substances that serve as signals for nearby cells, whereas direct differentiation refers to a stem cell’s capacity to directly differentiate and replace damaged cells. The “signaling” triggers behavior changes in nearby cells, which starts the regeneration process.
In a large number of studies about stem cell transplants, researchers observed that damaged patient issues were repaired after a stem cell transplant from a donor. However, after examining the newly generated tissues, it was discovered that the donor cells were missing.
Scientists were then able to demonstrate that the donor stem cells were secreting factors that triggered the patient’s own cells to repair the tissues. It has been demonstrated that the majority of regeneration occurs via paracrine signaling rather than direct differentiation. Another important function of stem cell paracrine signaling is immune system modulation to combat autoimmune diseases.
The most significant fact is that stem cell donors, despite having a short lifespan, have a long-lasting impact on tissue regeneration that endures long after the donor stem cells have been exhausted.
Can I receive stem cell therapy using my own core blood?
Due to regulatory and effectiveness issues, we are unable to treat patients using their own cord blood. Due to the fact that a single cord blood sample only contains enough mononuclear cells for one injection, it is typically insufficient to treat a patient’s condition. Six to eight stem cell injections are typically required for a Beike Stem Cell therapy.
