BENEFITS OF
STEM CELLS
Discover the remarkable therapeutic potential of stem cells and understand why they represent the foundation of regenerative medicine.
Understanding Stem Cells: The Foundation of Regenerative Medicine
Stem cells function as the body's master cells, possessing remarkable abilities to self-renew and differentiate into specialized cell types including nerve, bone, cartilage, and muscle tissue. While embryonic stem cells offer pluripotency, they raise significant ethical concerns and tumor formation risks.
Adult stem cells, while safer, demonstrate limited differentiation capacity. Perinatal stem cells, particularly Umbilical Cord Tissue Mesenchymal Stem Cells (UCT-MSCs), represent the optimal balance of potency, safety, and ethical sourcing.
Reduce Systemic Inflammation
MSCs secrete anti-inflammatory cytokines that modulate inflammatory cascades across multiple organ systems.
Promote Tissue Regeneration
MSCs stimulate localized repair processes through paracrine signaling and direct differentiation into needed cell types.
Modulate Immune Response
MSCs regulate T-cell function, preventing autoimmune damage while preserving necessary immune surveillance.
Benefits of Stem Cell Therapy
Our stem cell products are being used in groundbreaking research across multiple therapeutic areas.
Tissue Regeneration
Stem cells regenerate damaged tissues, providing solutions for injuries, degenerative diseases, and organ damage.
Anti-Inflammatory Effects
Particularly MSCs, can reduce inflammation in conditions like arthritis, autoimmune diseases, and inflammatory bowel disease.
Reduced Scar Formation
By encouraging healthy tissue formation, stem cells minimize fibrosis and scarring, which benefits wound healing and aesthetic applications.
Lower Risk of Rejection
Since MSCs are "immune privileged," they can be used in allogeneic (donor-derived) settings without triggering an immune response.
Non-Invasive Collection
Perinatal-derived MSCs are collected from tissues that do not require invasive procedures, making them accessible and ethically sound.
Versatility in Applications
Stem cells can be applied across multiple medical disciplines, from orthopedics to neurology and dermatology, making them adaptable to a wide range of therapeutic needs.
Why Akira Biotech's Stem Cells Outperform the Competition
Our proprietary glucose-based cryopreservation methodology eliminates DMSO, achieving remarkable post-thaw viability rates of up to 95-98%. Every batch undergoes rigorous flow cytometry verification to confirm mesenchymal markers (CD90+, CD73+, CD105+) while ensuring absence of hematopoietic markers (CD34-, CD45-, HLA-DR-).
| Source | Limitations | Akira Biotech's Solution |
|---|---|---|
Bone Marrow MSCs | Invasive collection, aged cells, reduced differentiation potential | Young, potent UCT-MSCs with superior expansion capacity |
Adipose MSCs | Lower purity, risk of contamination, variable quality | Highly pure, consistently manufactured cell populations |
Cord Blood | Limited MSC yield, higher immunogenicity | Abundant MSCs with enhanced immune privilege properties |
iPSCs | Risk of genetic mutation and tumor formation | Natural cells with stable genome and safety profile |
Key Components in Perinatal Tissue and Their Therapeutic Benefits
Beyond MSCs, perinatal tissues (umbilical cord, amniotic fluid, placenta) contain other bioactive components that contribute to therapeutic effects.
