Why store your stem cells?
We live in an era where our life span is longer than previous generations, but sicker. It's time for a change.
In today's world, where technology is at its best, we shouldn't wait until we feel unwell to find out what's happening inside our bodies.
Taking medications that aren't personalized for our needs should be a thing of the past.
About iPSC technology
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are a revolutionary advancement in regenerative medicine. Developed by Nobel laureate Shinya Yamanaka in 2006, iPSCs are adult cells reprogrammed to a pluripotent state, capable of becoming any cell type in the human body. This breakthrough bypasses the ethical concerns of embryonic stem cells and offers vast potential for personalized medicine. The iPSC protocol has been applied in several labs across the world and is today considered the cornerstone of stem cell science.
Importance of iPSCs Today
With iPSC technology, patient-specific cells can be developed into functional tissues, offering hope for millions suffering from end-stage organ failure. This transformative approach holds promise for addressing the organ transplantation crisis and improving healthcare outcomes worldwide.
Applications of iPSC Technology
iPSC technology is revolutionizing medical treatment, as demonstrated by the world's first iPSC-based corneal transplant in 2022. This pioneering procedure showcases the potential of iPSCs in regenerating damaged tissues and treating debilitating conditions.
Vertex Pharmaceuticals' new data on a cutting-edge, stem cell-derived beta cell therapy show remarkable strides in potentially curing type 1 diabetes. One notable achievement is a third patient achieving insulin independence in 2022, while all participants in the trial experienced significant improvements, including reduced reliance on insulin injections.
From personalized cell therapies to disease modeling, iPSCs offer a versatile platform for advancing regenerative medicine.
Considering that there are currently 35* FDA-approved cellular and gene therapy products (45% increase from 2023), with more expected, this is an area where more advancements are expected to take place.
Why Store your Stem Cells Now?
In an age where longevity is increasing but health challenges persist, iPSC technology heralds a new era of proactive healthcare.
Your own stem cells have the potential to regenerate damaged tissues from multiple organs.
