EDUCATION IS THE KEY TO UNDERSTANDING THE POWER IN THIS BIO-TECHNOLOGY

Regenerative tissue is different from other cells for two important reasons. First, it is an un-specialized cell that can renew itself. It is a cell waiting to become something. Second, it is a cell that can be changed into a variety of different types of cells.  This serves as an internal repair system. However, as we age so does our regenerative tissue. The consequence is a decreased ability to do the repair that we demand. Therefore, the cartilage in our joints lose their compressive resistance and start to fissure and fail. The exciting news is that we can now add regenerative tissue back into the system which will stimulate the new growth.

As we age we produce less and fewer regenerative tissue (through normal wear and tear, injury, or disease) making it extremely hard to find enough healthy regenerative tissue in our aging bodies that can help us repair our bodies. Often toxins around us, medications, stress, etc. just compromise what few regenerative tissue we have making them ineffective in healing our bodies. When regenerative tissue is introduced into our bodies they stimulate the growth of our own regenerative tissue to start to repair our body. The regenerative tissue also produce growth factors and other messenger chemicals.

The human body contains hundreds of different types of cells that are important for our daily health. These cells are responsible for keeping our bodies running each day such as making our hearts beat, brains think, kidneys clean our blood, replace our skin cells as they shed off, and so on. The unique job of regenerative tissue is to make all these other types of cells. Regenerative tissue is the suppliers of new cells. When regenerative tissue divide they can make more of themselves, or more of other types of cells. For example, regenerative tissue in skin can make more skin stem cells or they can make differentiated cells of the skin that have specific jobs of their own such as making the melanin pigment.

How are regenerative tissue helpful in healing?

Regenerative tissue address a wide variety of conditions and promote continued wellness. They can:

  • Speed up the length of time it takes injuries and wounds to heal

  • Repair osteoarthritis joints

  • Reduce pain and lessen the need for medications

  • Increase joint function

  • Improve sleep quality

  • Reduce muscle compensations and thus the risk of future injury

  • Decrease nerve damage and repair nerves

  • Increase collagen production

  • Generate new heart and blood vessel tissue

Regenerative tissue therapy can also provide an overall improvement in your well-being by decreasing inflammation and deter the development of conditions such as heart disease and dementia.

What areas can regenerative tissue therapy treat?

Regenerative tissue can be effective in treating pain or injury to:

  • Muscles

  • Tendons

  • Ligaments

  • Bone

  • Cartilage

For example, regenerative tissue can be used to heal hip pain, knee injuries, and other joint problems. In addition, the cells have an immune-modulatory effect, so they can fight chronic autoimmune conditions, such as Lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.

Regenerative tissue also have aesthetic applications. They can help revitalize hair growth and boost skin health and appearance. The hair restoration programs are very effective.

Where does Regenerative Tissue Come From?

 Embryonic – Embryonic regenerative tissue is obtained from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst, a mainly hollow ball of cells that, in the human, forms three to five days after an egg cell is fertilized by a sperm.  Human embryonic regenerative tissue is generated mainly from blastocysts that are the result of in vitro (the lab) fertilization for assisted reproduction but are not needed for implantation into the mother

Bone Marrow – This is has been the most well-known source of regenerative tissue. Blood is aspirated from the pelvis bone marrow which is a rich source for regenerative tissue. This is an invasive procedure that requires a minor surgical procedure. Once the blood is collected it is placed in a centrifuge to isolate the regenerative tissue. These are then injected into the patient. The efficacy or quality, of the regenerative tissue, is dependent on the age of the patient. Unfortunately, the efficacy of the regenerative tissue decreases with the donor’s age.

Adipose – Unlike bone marrow-derived mesenchymal regenerative tissue, adipose regenerative tissue can be obtained from the abundant adipose tissue by a minimally invasive procedure, which results in a high number of cells. This too is an invasive procedure but less painful than Bone Marrow aspirate. Again, the efficacy of the regenerative tissue is they are dependent on the age of the patient.

Umbilical Cord – This has been shown to be the best source of regenerative tissue. These cells are collected from the umbilical cord after healthy live births and are cryopreserved for later use. At this stage, there are no antigens so there is no rejection from donor to host. The cells are Day 0 in life and are the most potent that they can be.

Why The Umbilical Cord?

Cord tissue is a precious and unique resource retrieved after a child is born. This tissue contains regenerative tissue that have powerful healing capabilities used to help repair damaged tissues, restore impaired cartilage, or regenerate lost cells. A single regenerative tissue cell can be multiplied into many cells for a variety of medical therapies, and expands healthcare possibilities.

What is the Umbilical Cord?

  • Formed at day 26 of gestation, represents the link between mother and fetus during pregnancy.

  • Composed of a special embryonic mucous connective tissue, called Wharton’s jelly, lying between the covering amniotic epithelium and the umbilical vessels.

  • Functions:

  • Blood source for the neonate

  • Source of nutrients

  • Transfer waste products and deoxygenated blood away from the fetus to the maternal circulation

ABOUT PLURISOMES:

THE PLURIPOTENT MESSAGE-BIOLOGICAL RENEWAL SIGNALING

Tissue repair and regeneration depends on effective biological communication via autocrine and paracrine signaling. Plurisomes are secretory vesicles released by pluripotent stem cells, the active messengers of pluripotency. Pluripotent stem cells release reparative secretome in response to tissue or medium conditions.

Plurisomes are cultured in a clean laboratory setting, an ideal in-vitro medium that is devoid of the inflammatory and toxic millieu present in vivo. Given this nourishing environment, the Plurisomes contain highly specific messaging content coding for multi-tissue renewal and repair, including growth factors, peptides, messenger and micro RNA.

COMPREHENSIVE TISSUE REPAIR-WHOLE ORGANISM REJUVENATION

Pluripotency implies whole body reach. Pluripotent stem cells and their secreted exosomes are capable of repair and restoration of all 220+ tissue types in the human body. Their reach is comprehensive. Upon application, the therapeutic message of Plurisomes travels to all tissues of the body, signaling restoration and rejuvenation at any juncture of tissue biology.

The characterization of Plurisomes has revealed growth factors signaling metabolic rejuvenation, immunoregulation, tumor suppression and reversion, apoptosis, cell repair and growth. Clinical evidence indicates that Plurisome biodistribution is multi-tissue comprehensive.

THE PLURIPOTENT DISRUPTION-A NEW ERA IN BIOLOGICS

A thorough review of embryonic and pluripotent stem cell scientific research and clinical application supports the expected potency and safety profile of Plurisomes and of Pluripotent Stem Cells. The advancement of Pluripotency for therapeutic use is ushering a new era in biologics medicine.

Plurisomes act in concert with physiology and immune system to create an anti-tumorigenic, highly regenerative environment. Safety concerns have been attenuated. Plurisomes are grown in-laboratory, in-vitro, without further embryonic harvesting. Ethical concerns are pacified. The crucial place of Pluripotency in regenerative medicine is restored.

Availability of Stem Cells

Harvesting adult stem cells, like mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), requires expert staff and expensive technical equipment. Whether they come from the patient’s own tissues or from an umbilical cord source, their source availability and expansion are limited. The cord blood of one newborn, for example, contains an average of 1.8 million undifferentiated cells (MSC). These stem cells can be cultured and expanded 20 to 50 times until they lose their stem cell nature and differentiate into one of the eight types of somatic cells they can become. The risk of contamination for these cells is high also. For every 200 million MSC, a new source must be found and evaluated for pathogens before culture. All these steps and inconsistencies in the success of isolation add to the cost of these MSC.  This is probably why patients sometimes have to pay up to $10,000 for a single treatment. In contrast, a single line of pluripotent stem cells is harvested once, and can be expanded millions of times over many years, treating thousands of patients with only one original blastocyst.
