Stem Cell Therapy for Multiple Sclerosis Treatment in India
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is caused by an immune mediated attack targeting components of the myelin sheath. The myelin sheath is known to act as an “insulator” for neurons so that they can communicate properly with each other.
The adult stem cells used to treat MS at the Stem Cell Institute come from human umbilical cord tissue.
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), have immune regulatory properties which may stop the immune system from attacking the myelin sheath. Mesenchymal stem cells may also potentially help remyelination of the affected neurons.
