幹細胞療法的進化歷史

Organ cells are choice active cellular materials are harvested from various specially bred sheep early foetal tissues to activate repair and rejuvenation of the human body.

Early foetal cells are more effective because in an early foetus, organs such as the liver, spleen, kidney, pituitary and thymus glands are not fully formed yet.

The rationale is that young active cells will act as the catalyst to revitalize old cells.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC) was well known as a complementary biological treatment which was successfully adopted to alleviate symptoms of early ageing and certain degenerative diseases, and also applied to reduce overall inflammation in many illnesses.

However, MSCs are multi-potent adult stem cells and being multi-potent means that their ability to differentiate are limited to only a few cell types, hence, the limitation the restore and regenerate most cell types in body systems.

Embryonic Stem Cells (ESC) extremely young cellular materials procured from early live embryos (formed at the very beginning of life). ESCs are Pluripotent, that is, they are able to differentiate into all derivatives of the three primary germ layers: ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm-together they can restore most body systems in the adult body and reduce symptoms chronic degenerative diseases.

However, there are 2 major global concerns with regards to ESCs.

1, ESCs are prone to immunorejection by the body, and therefore are possibly less effective.

2. The ethical controversy (inhumane) of embryo destruction associated with ESC procurement*

Induced pluripotent stem cells (IPSC) has the ability of continuous cell renewal a.k.a. Regeneration.

With three primary stem cell layers – ectoderm, endoderm and mesoderm, they are able to differentiate and regenerate more than 220 cell types (all systems) in the body – the most efficient Regenerative Medicine.

iPSCs are pluripotent stem cell that are generated and transformed directly from procured adult sheep cells (no killing of embryos and foetuses). Pluripotent means they can propagate indefinitely, as well as give rise (differentiate) to every other cell type in the body such as neurons, heart, pancreatic, liver cells, etc. They represent a single source of cells that can replace those lost to damage or disease.
