Benefits of Amniotic Stem Cell Therapy

Stem cells are found in different body parts and play a significant role in the body’s natural healing process. However, each therapy differs based on where they are extracted from. Amniotic stem cell therapy involves using stem cells derived from amniotic fluid.

This therapy is considered a novel resource for cell transplantation therapy due to its high renewal capacity, the embryonic cell lineage markers, and the ability to differentiate in tissues derived from all three embryonic layers.

Amniotic stem cells are practical options for cell transplantation and cell replacement therapy due to their low antigenicity and inability to produce teratomas. 

All stem cell therapies aim to take advantage of the body’s ability to repair itself. For amniotic stem cell therapy, stem cells from amniotic tissues are injected into a patient to address several medical conditions. When administered, these stem cells provide anti-inflammatory properties and restore degenerated tissue. Amniotic stem cells have been found to linger in injured areas for as many as two years, consistently dividing into new cells and building new tissues.

Amniotic stem cells can divide into any type of cell or tissue found in the joint, from ligament to tendons, bones, muscles, and cartilage, the only exception being nerve tissues. This property makes amniotic stem cell therapy a practical treatment for several conditions, such as tissue injuries, musculoskeletal disorders, and degenerative diseases.
