What are Amniotic Stem Cells and How are These Used by Sheitelman Physical Medicine?

Here at Sheitelman Physical Medicine we use amniotic cells for several different medical procedures. Stem cells are especially exciting because they can be transformed into most any other type of cells. For example, amniotic stem cells can be grown into blood cells or skin tissue. They can also be used to regenerate bone or cells that transmit nerve impulses. Amniotic stem cells are gathered from amniotic fluid, as well as umbilical cord blood. This is the fluid that surrounds a developing fetus while it is in the uterus. Often this fluid is harvested after a baby is born, and mothers typically have the option of harvesting their own amniotic stem cells for future medical use.

Why are Amitotic Stem Cells So Beneficial for Regenerative Medicine?

Amniotic stem cells offer several benefits for regenerative medicine. For instance, these stem cells divide much faster than other types of stem cells, which is ideal for the rapid growth of tissue. Furthermore, amniotic stem cells do not age or show signs of aging. This is key to maintaining new tissue growth without the risk of using stem cells that are already at the end of their lifespan. Finally, amniotic stem cells are preferred for regenerative medicine because these cells do not develop tumors over time. This stability is essential for the long-term production of healthy tissue.

What is Stem Cell Therapy Used to Treat?

If you are considering stem cell therapy, start by identifying the most common applications for amniotic stem cells. These cells can treat localized areas of inflammation by reducing swelling and infection, which also reduces pain. Stem cell therapy is also beneficial for treating tissue that is diseased or destroyed. For individuals who want to regain mobility, reduce pain, and improve their quality of life, the use of amniotic stem cells offers the greatest advantage.
