R3 Stem Cell St. Paul MN: Treatment & Therapy Clinics

Stem Cell Research in Minnesota

Their Stem Cell Institute is helping to combat diseases and disorders with regenerative medicine as well as train stem cell scientists for the future. They offer Masters and Ph.D. programs in stem cell science. The Institute was recently awarded a major grant in order to study how stem cells can be used in muscle regeneration. Check out their Seminars and Events page to see what public events they are holding – every Wednesday, they conduct a weekly seminar.

Types Of Stem Cells

Stem cells are specialized cells that are found in different body tissues during different times of growth and development. When these cells divide, they create what is known as progenitor cells – these can become specialized cells. For example, human embryonic stem cells will eventually develop into the cells of various organs, bones or blood cells. Cells from amniotic fluid and mesenchymal  (adult) stem cells can be used in therapeutic applications.

What is Stem Cell Therapy Used For?

Bone marrow transplants are probably the most well-known procedure for stem cell therapy. These have been in use for well over 30 years. The FDA has approved a number of stem cell techniques for blood cancers. In theory, stem cells could be used to ease other conditions, especially issues caused by cell degeneration. Stem cell therapy is used to help arthritis and joint disease, as well. Research has shown its use in aiding in the repair of fractures, creating healthy joint cartilage and replacing discs between the vertebrae. Research is ongoing, and more applications for stem cells are likely to develop in the future.

Growth Factor Therapy

Growth factors have been found to have several therapeutic uses. Some well-researched types of growth factors include:

• Epidermal growth factor (EGF): these compounds are made by platelets and macrophages and stimulate the production of collagen. EGFs may improve the healing of wounds.
• Keratinocyte growth factors (KGF): these promote the production of keratin, a substance found in your hair and nails for structural support.
• Transforming growth factors (TGFs): these stimulate tissue recovery in part by aiding in new blood vessels being created to the site of the issue.

MicroRNAs And Their Uses

Many people believe that their body contains only one form of genetic information in your cells, but there are many forms of this macromolecule. There are also many types of RNA, a type of single-stranded nucleic acid that can be used to transmit and modify the information being sent within and between cells. In microRNA therapy, we inject microRNAs to alter gene expression so that damaged tissue becomes inactivated by your body’s own mechanisms. During your free consultation with one of our St. Paul area providers, we can discuss if this therapy is a good option for you.

Our injections direct vital compounds and information to the parts of your body needing rejuvenation. That is only the first step, however. Like medical treatments, regenerative therapy requires patients to consider long-term lifestyle changes. R3 Stem Cell can provide you with the following:

• Continuing education: webinars, seminars and other ways to stay abreast of information pertinent to your therapy
• Post-procedure products: nutritional supplements, topical options and more to promote the work of your therapy
