Interview with Dr. Alberto Morales, expert in regenerative medicine.
At present, stem cells are the absolute protagonists in the areas of new clinical research since, through a series of processes, it is possible to convert these cells into medicines to heal pathologies by regenerating the patient’s cells and tissues.
Hence comes the concept of Regenerative Medicine and especially the one we like to apply to us Cellular Regeneration. In the field of orthopedics, advances have been significant in recent years.
Through a series of processes we can convert stem cells into medicines to heal diseases by regenerating cells and tissues, in the field of orthopedics, we already have a significant experience.
Dear doctor, in which fields can this medicine be used?
A significant amount of research work and clinical trials are focused on cell therapy, as well as research into various types of tumors and leukemias.
In the case of orthopedics, there are already advances that allow us, as in osteoarthritis for example, very significant solutions and improvement of quality of life to acceptable levels.
Does the human body have the ability to heal itself?
Yes, although with age this capacity is lost and that is why with regenerative medicine we are regenerating damaged tissues that otherwise we would not be able to.
The osteoarthritis, why can we with regenerative medicine improve this disease?
It is a disease like others that we suffer with age, degenerative.
We can find it in different places, knee, elbow, wrist, hip … the new therapies of regenerative medicine are very effective and safe because it implants in the case of osteoarthritis, a biological material, own stem cells or from a biobank that allow to stop the degeneration.
They are very simple treatments that do not require surgery or hospitalization, are performed on an outpatient basis and the patient will require at most 24 or 48 hours of rest, recovery is much faster than with more conventional treatments.
With America Cell Bank we are achieving excellent results under a combined technique of mesenchymal stem cells, exosomes and growth factors that allow us to offer an improvement in the quality of life of our patients and an effective remission of their disease.
How long does it take to notice this improvement?
That is a big question.
Depending on the patient’s condition and the progress of the disease, three to six months are required, and one or two applications of stem cells combined with exosomes and growth factors.
We have to understand, and we say it from the very beginning, that it is not a miraculous treatment that makes us run away after the application of stem cells, we must give time for the cells to do their therapeutic work.
What is certain is that the improvement at various levels is being demonstrated by clinical trials and scientific literature.
