Stem Cell Therapy for Autoimmune Diseases
What Is an Autoimmune Disease?
An autoimmune disease occurs when the immune system—normally the body’s defense against infections and harmful agents—mistakenly targets its own healthy tissues as if they were foreign invaders. In this process, the body produces antibodies that attack organs, tissues, or cells, leading to chronic inflammation and progressive damage.
There are over 80 recognized autoimmune diseases, which are classified as:
Systemic – affecting multiple organs or systems (e.g., lupus, rheumatoid arthritis).
Organ-specific – targeting a particular organ (e.g., type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis).
What Causes Autoimmune Diseases?
While the precise causes remain under investigation, most researchers agree that autoimmune diseases result from a combination of factors, including:
Genetic predisposition
Environmental triggers such as viruses, bacteria, toxins, or allergens
Hormonal changes
Chronic stress or trauma
These factors may activate an abnormal immune response in genetically susceptible individuals.
Common Symptoms of Autoimmune Conditions
Symptoms can vary depending on the specific disease and organs affected, but most share a common set of signs caused by chronic inflammation, such as:
Persistent fatigue
Joint or muscle pain
Fiebre
Erupciones cutáneas
Digestive disturbances
General malaise or brain fog
Conventional Treatments for Autoimmune Diseases
Traditional treatment aims to reduce symptoms and slow disease progression. These may include:
NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) for pain and swelling
Corticosteroids to suppress inflammation
Immunosuppressants (e.g., methotrexate) to reduce immune activity
Biologic agents targeting specific immune pathways
Cytotoxic drugs in severe systemic cases
While these options may offer relief, they often carry risks such as long-term side effects, increased susceptibility to infections, and incomplete symptom control.
How Can Mesenchymal Stem Cells Help Treat Autoimmune Diseases?
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) offer a groundbreaking therapeutic approach by not only regulating immune dysfunction, but also supporting tissue repair. Derived from placental tissue, these cells are known for their safety, viability (98–99%), and powerful anti-inflammatory properties.
Benefits of MSC Therapy in Autoimmune Diseases:
Immune Modulation
MSCs help reprogram the immune response, reducing the overactivation of T and B cells, and promoting regulatory T cells that restore balance.Inflammation Reduction
MSCs secrete bioactive molecules that decrease systemic inflammation and interrupt destructive autoimmune cascades.Tissue Repair & Regeneration
MSCs migrate to damaged areas and differentiate into supportive cells, aiding in the healing of inflamed joints, nerves, or organs.Personalized, Targeted Therapy
Each treatment is tailored based on the patient’s condition, medical history, and weight—ensuring precision and safety.
A Comprehensive Approach Beyond Stem Cells
We combine cutting-edge regenerative science with complementary therapies to amplify results and support long-term health.
Plasmaféresis
This blood purification process removes toxins and improves microcirculation. We recommend its biannual execution to optimize cellular health and prevent immune overactivation.
Ozonoterapia
Through medicinal ozone, we enhance cellular oxygenation and combat inflammation and oxidative stress—two key factors in the progression of autoimmune disorders.
Peptides
A tailored blend of vitamins, minerals, and peptides supports immune modulation, metabolic health, and tissue regeneration.
Exosome Therapy
These extracellular vesicles work synergistically with stem cells to improve cell communication, reduce inflammation, and promote healing on a cellular level.
