Patients with multiple diseases and disorders

Stem cells differentiate into the corresponding cells of the diseased organ and thus replace the injured or dead native cells.

People from around the world trust Us

They directly transfer to local cells, which are in the process of aging and death, intracellular organelles (such as mitochondria, which are the
cell’s source of energy production). Revitalizing the diseased native cells and restore the biological balance.

Our team is full of Experience

Once they reach the diseased organ, stem cells can release hundreds of molecules that have the biological activity necessary to correct the damage (for example, inflammation, oxidation, or cell death). Through direct cell–to–cell communication,
stem cells make other cells to modify their harmful behavior.

Area of Practice

Stem cells are distributed throughout all body
tissues and accompany us throughout life.
Although they lose vitality as we age or become ill,
they hold unique characteristics that give them
immense therapeutic potential. First, stem cells
can multiply indefinitely, preserving their
stemness. Second, under adequate stimuli, they
can differentiate into mature cells of different
organs (for example, into brain, heart, and liver
cells). Third, stem cells can distribute themselves
throughout the body in a targeted manner, in
response to biochemical signals from diseased
tissues.

OSTEOARTICULAR
DISEASES AND PAIN

Osteoarticular disorders, such as osteoarthritis, tendon injuries, herniated discs, and osteoarticular degenerations of the spine, are among the most studied disorders in regenerative medicine.

CARDIOVASCULAR
DISEASES

Ischemic heart disease (angina, infarction) and cardiomyopathy (heart failure) are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Regenerative actions of stem cells, have encouraged preclinical and clinical studies evaluating the role
of these cells in several cardiovascular diseases.

PULMONARY
DISEASES

From the moment it was demonstrated in
human lung tissue cultures that stem cells inhibit the formation of fibrous tissue and stimulate repair, numerous studies have been conducted in a variety of animal models of obstructive, restrictive and inflammatory lung diseases.

LIVER DISEASES

There is sufficient evidence in preclinical studies regarding the ability of stem cells to differentiate into liver cells, attesting to their anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic and immunoregulatory properties
and of their therapeutic effect on acute liver failure.

INFLAMATORY BOWEL DISEASE

The benefit of stem cell treatment has been confirmed in numerous clinical trials and meta-analyses, including severe forms of CD, with fistula formation. Reports show that stem cell-based regenerative medicine is associated with reduction of autoimmune inflammation activity and stimulation of the intestinal mucosa repair process, increasing the duration of remissions and reducing the frequency of
hospitalizations and surgeries.

METABOLIC SYNDROME AND TYPE 1 AND 2 DIABETES MELLITUS

Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a set of cardiovascular risk factors, which include abdominal obesity, high triglycerides with or without high cholesterol, low HDL, high blood pressure, hyperglycemia, and nonalcoholic fatty
liver. There is an accumulation of preclinical and clinical
evidence that stem cells can control several of the
aforementioned components of MS.

CHRONIC RENAL FAILURE

Considering the anti-inflammatory and
anti-fibrotic activity of stem cells, studies
performed in animal models confirmed that these cells attenuate kidney damage, improving function and protecting the glomerular and tubular structure.

GRAFT – VERSUS – HOST
DISEASE

Since stem cells have strong anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activity, the usefulness of mesenchymal stem cell transplantation (for example, from Wharton’s jelly) to treat GVHD has been studied.

AUTOIMMUNE AND ALLERGIC DISEASES

Once the immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory activity of stem cells had been demonstrated in in vitro and preclinical studies, the exploration of the effect of these cells on an increasing series of autoimmune diseases in humans started. However, it should be noted that the therapeutic effect in these cases is not curative and effectiveness decreases over time.

NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASES

In recent years, great interest in
determining the role of stem cell therapies in several neurodegenerative diseases has arisen.
Multiple in vitro and animal model studies have confirmed the following properties of different types of stem cells: formation of new myelin, prolongation of neuronal vitality, reduction of oxidative stress, immunomodulation, and formation of new blood vessels, which translate into neuroprotection.

PERINATAL NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS

Stem cells in the central nervous system can sense the microenvironment in the damaged area and secrete paracrine factors with reparative functions, which control phenomena such as inflammation, oxidative stress, cell death, and fibrosis.

AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS

Due to anti-inflammatory, neuromodulatory, and neuroregenerative properties of stem cells, a growing number of individual research and meta-analysis have investigated the effect of these cells on patients with ASD.

STROKE

Safety and functional improvement associated
with angiogenesis, neurogenesis and inflammation control in animal models of ischemic stroke has already been confirmed.

CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM TRAUMAS

Due to their biological properties (regenerative, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, antifibrotic, neuroprotective and analgesic), stem cells have been clinically assessed and have emerged as a therapeutic option for spinal trauma.

FEMALE INFERTILITY

Stem cells have been beneficial in restoring fertility among
women with infertility due to several causes.

AGING AND FRAILTY

Since stem cells have biological properties that could be useful to control or reverse many of the signs and symptoms of frailty.

SKIN DISORDERS AND ALOPECIA

The therapeutic potential of stem cells and growth factors has been widely studied in a variety of skin diseases and injuries caused by chronic inflammation, infection, trauma, burns, surgery, neuropathies, and vascular insufficiency.

EXTRACELULAR VESICLES

The emerging role of EVs allows us to envision them as a new generation of regenerative therapy, making them an attractive and novel option.

Our skilled Team

Iuvenis Clinic has a team of highly skilled professionals who offer a wide range of treatments and therapies to improve the overall health and well-being of their patients.
