Explore stem cell therapy for stroke recovery at Immunotherapy Regenerative Medicine. Innovative mesenchymal stem cell treatments for brain repair.
Stem Cell Therapy for Stroke Recovery
At Immunotherapy Regenerative Medicine, we specialize in advanced regenerative treatments like stem cell therapy for stroke recovery, helping patients regain functionality and improve quality of life. Using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), our therapies focus on repairing brain damage, enhancing neurological recovery, and promoting overall health after a stroke.
Understanding Stroke and Its Challenges
Stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, leading to brain cell damage and impaired functionality. Depending on the severity and location of the stroke, patients may experience:
- Motor Dysfunction: Weakness or paralysis, often on one side of the body.
- Cognitive Deficits: Memory loss, difficulty speaking, or impaired problem-solving skills.
- Emotional Changes: Depression, anxiety, or mood swings.
- Loss of Independence: Difficulty performing daily activities.
Traditional treatments often include physical therapy, medication, and speech therapy, which aim to manage symptoms rather than address the root cause—brain cell damage. This is where stem cells for stroke treatment offer a revolutionary approach.
How Stem Cells Aid Stroke Recovery
Stem cell therapy for stroke involves using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which have unique regenerative properties. These cells target damaged brain tissue, promoting repair and recovery through:
- Neuroregeneration: MSCs can differentiate into neural cells, potentially restoring damaged neurons and neural pathways.
- Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Stem cells reduce inflammation in the brain, minimizing further damage.
- Angiogenesis: Stem cells stimulate the growth of new blood vessels, improving blood flow and oxygen delivery to the affected areas.
- Neuroprotection: MSCs release growth factors that protect existing neurons from further damage.
By addressing these critical areas, stem cells for stroke recovery not only improve neurological function but also enhance overall rehabilitation outcomes.
Our Approach to Stem Cell Therapy for Stroke
At Immunotherapy Regenerative Medicine, we take a personalized approach to stem cell therapy for stroke patients, ensuring treatments are tailored to each individual’s needs. Our process includes:
1. Comprehensive Evaluation
Every patient undergoes a detailed assessment, including:
- Medical history review
- Neurological evaluations
- Diagnostic imaging (e.g., MRI) to pinpoint areas of damage
This ensures we design a treatment plan optimized for the patient’s specific condition.
2. Administration of Mesenchymal Stem Cells
We use mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), known for their safety and efficacy in regenerative medicine. These cells are administered through:
- Intravenous Infusion: To circulate cells throughout the body and promote systemic healing.
- Intrathecal Injection: To deliver stem cells directly into the cerebrospinal fluid, targeting the brain for maximum impact.
3. Supporting Therapies
In addition to stem cell therapy, we incorporate complementary treatments like plasma exchange, ozone therapy, and intravenous nutrient therapy to enhance recovery.

What are Stromal Precursors?
Stromal Precursors are cells with fibroblastoid or spindle-shaped morphology, possessing multipotential characteristics and the ability for asymmetric self-renewal. These cells, approximately 5-20 microns in size, must express proteins on their surface such as CD73, CD90, and CD105, and must not express any hematopoietic protein such as CD34 or leukocytic protein like CD45, CD14.
What makes Stromal Precursors useful in a clinical setting?
Stromal Precursors are clinically useful due to their multipotential capacity. In the presence of a suitable microenvironment, rich in specific growth factors, these cells can differentiate into specialized cells of various tissues, including bone, tendons, heart, liver, lung, brain, muscle, and blood vessels.
Are Stromal Precursors safe?
Yes, research conducted between 2000 and 2010 has shown that the transplantation of human stromal precursors is not tumorigenic, meaning they do not generate tumors or cancer. Since the inception of human transplants, it has never been reported worldwide that these cells cause cancer.
Is there any possibility that my body will reject Stromal Precursors?
No, Stromal Precursors are minimally immunogenic, which means the risk of rejection is very low or non-existent. This is because they secrete numerous proteins that modulate the recipient’s immune responses through various cellular mechanisms, including the presentation of major histocompatibility complexes (MHC).
Do Stromal Precursors get trapped in the lungs? (Pulmonary first-pass effect)
Although systemically transplanted cells pass through the lungs first, they do not remain permanently trapped there. Thanks to a process known as chemotaxis, Stromal Precursors migrate to areas with a higher gradient of specific receptors or ligands, generally associated with damaged tissues.
How can I determine if Stromal Precursors can help me?
Stromal Precursors can be beneficial in a wide range of conditions. However, to maximize the benefits, it is crucial to personalize treatment protocols and consult with specialized medical personnel.
Can Stromal Precursors help prevent aging?
Yes, Stromal Precursors can delay aging by secreting proteins that are no longer produced in sufficient quantity by the body’s aging cells. This strengthens and revitalizes the cells, contributing to greater longevity and health.
Are there ethical issues related to this form of therapy with Stromal Precursors?
No, therapy with Stromal Precursors does not raise significant ethical issues since adult cells obtained from non-controversial tissues are used, and it does not involve the destruction of human embryos.
Do you provide educational material?
We can easily provide internationally published scientific material related to any specific condition that has been documented.
Can Stromal Precursors cause graft-versus-host disease?
No. Research has shown that Stromal Precursors significantly reduce the incidence of graft-versus-host disease. This is because the cells causing this disease are donor immune cells, which can be present in small amounts in hematopoietic cell concentrates. In vitro cultures of Stromal Precursors do not include non-adherent or suspended cells, where immune cells are typically found.
Where do Stromal Precursors come from?
Stromal Precursors are obtained from healthy tissues such as the umbilical cord, dental pulp, apical papilla, and endometrial tissue. Primary cultures of these cells are meticulously analyzed to detect the presence of viruses such as cytomegalovirus (CMV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis A, B, and C, and mycoplasma, ensuring their safety for clinical use.
Types of Stem Cells
There are various types of stem cells, but those authorized by COFEPRIS for transplantation in humans are hematopoietic stem cells and stromal precursors. The latter are classified into embryonic and adult stem cells, with adult stromal precursors being primarily isolated from neonatal tissues such as the placenta, adipose tissue, bone marrow, and dental pulp.
