Stemaid: The future of medicine

What are Stem Cells?
A stem cell is an undifferentiated cell that has the potential to divide and differentiate into any of the 220 types of cell in the human body.
Depending on where they are harvested, their potential will be different.
Embryonic Stem cells can be harvested from 4 or 5 day old embryos left over after in vitro fertilization or specifically prepared by cloning using the patient’s DNA. At this stage of development the embryo is no more that a ball of cells and it is the 30 or so cells known as the inner cell mass that are extracted and cultured in the lab. In this way, the 30 cells can divide into millions of stem cells each with the capability of becoming any type of cell.
Embryonic Stem Cells are the most powerfully regenerative cells tested so far. Embryonic Stem Cells prepared with the patient’s DNA by cloning can be used without additional chemicals for rejection treatment which makes them the best of all.
Our Embryonic Stem Cells are grown without animal feeder layers and thus do not present any contamination danger.

Fetal Stem Cells are derived from umbilical cord blood. They can be separated from the red and white cells and cultured separately in order to get the right amount for treatment. These cells have been used for treatment for about 4 years now with hundreds of referenced cases and a high success rates for regeneration.

Adult Stem Cells are extracted from the patient’s blood as a small amount can be found in everybody. From the moment of harvest it takes about two weeks to get enough of the amount needed for treatment. These adult stem cells have been mainly used for Heart disease treatments so far. Their regeneration potential is limited compared to fetal and embryonic stem cells.

Stemaid provides fetal and embryonic stem cells but no adult stem cells.

What is Stem Cell Therapy?
Stem Cell Therapy, SCT, is a treatment that provides stem cells in the appropriate location to assist the body where it needs to heal and regenerate its existing cells.
Depending on the conditions, stem cells can be delivered through the blood stream or directly to the organ to treat. It isn’t understood yet how stem cell communicates with the body to determine and travel to sites of need but results have been observed showing stem cells located near the damage area and dividing there generating new differentiated healthy cells.
