What diseases could your stem cells be used for?

Your stem cells (iPSCs) can be developed towards any organ of the human body, meaning that they could be used for virtually any disease.

The benefits of storing your stem cells can be applied to diseases such as Diabetes, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, and cancer.

Considering cancer as an example, the benefits would be as follows:

• Preventive: Storing your stem cells creates the opportunity for genetic screening which, when combined with other markers, helps detect any predisposition to diseases such as cancer before they develop. This can aid in preventing or reducing the severity of such diseases.

• Personalized Care: In the realm of cancer treatment, numerous medical options are available today, but often there is little insight into which treatment is most suitable for a patient until treatment begins. With our technology, we can conduct drug toxicity and functionality tests on your stored stem cells instead of directly on you, as is typically done. This method leads to the development of individualized treatments, potentially yielding more effective, targeted cancer therapies with fewer negative side effects.

• Future Medical Use: Your stored stem cells retain their youthful state from the day of storage, offering an incredible opportunity in the future to repair or regenerate tissues damaged by cancer or surgeries performed to remove tumors. This approach presents a hopeful prospect for restoration and healing.

This example illustrates the potential of stem cell storage and genetic screening in revolutionizing the approach to treating and managing various chronic and life-altering diseases.
