Stem cell therapy for COPD: where are we? Chronic Obstr Pulm Dis. Any decision to participate in our patient funded experimental protocols is completely voluntary.Running Head: Journal Club: Stem Cell TherapyĪbbreviations: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD embryonic stem cells, ESCs induced pleuripotent stem cells, iPSs mesenchymal stem cells, MSCs human lung stem cells, hLSCs adipocyte mesenchymal cells, AD-MSCs bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, BM-MSCs Wharton’s jelly mesenchymal stem cells, WJ-MSCsĬitation: Balkissoon R. It is important for potential patients to do their own research based on the options that we present so that one can make an informed decision. We do not claim that these treatments work for any listed nor unlisted condition, intended or implied. The Hawaii Stem Cell Treatment Center does not claim that any applications or potential applications using these autologous stem cell treatments are approved by the FDA or are even effective. The Hawaii Stem Cell Treatment Center is offering patient funded research to treat individual patients with their own autologous stem cells and is not involved in the use or manufacture of any investigational drugs.

Plastic Surgery and medicine are not an exact science and can be unpredictable based on patient health and anatomy. We in no way imply or indicate that you will have a similar outcome.

If you are interested in possibly enrolling in such trials or learning more contact us to see if you are a candidate. Our worldwide network of physicians many with interest and ongoing research involving cellular therapy for these conditions. The Hawaii Stem Cell Treatment Center is interested in cardio and pulmonary diseases and the current research ongoing for cellular therapies to treat the above diseases. There are over 300,000 million individuals under treatment world wide. The airways become obstructed and breathing becomes difficulty requiring at times emergency room visits and even death. This inflammatory condition can be in the very young and the old. This is a common lung disorder involving the airways. These treatments look promising with further research and clinical trials. There is much work being done both clinically and in the lab to solve this problem. This can lead to more heart attacks and chronic chest pain. Heart attacks are common and the damage to the heart muscle can be severe. The cause can be many origins from blocked arteries to infection. Upward of 60,000 lose their life to this disease yearly with no curative treatment short of a heart transplant. The heart muscle becomes weak sometimes the heart becomes enlarged and there is deterioration of cardiac function. The former is herald with a chronic cough, mucous production and the latter with destruction of lung tissue. Such forms as Chronic Bronchitis and Emphysema. This is myriad of lung diseases which make it difficult to breath. A list of the diseases under study are :Ĭhronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) Our use of your own bodies cells and concentrating them into SVF is considered minimal manipulation so this does not require FDA approval.The technique of harvesting the cells is a simple liposuction type procedure performed in about a 1 hour procedure as an outpatient. We use the mesochymal stem cells for this process, we do not use embryonic stem cells. Our process involves a specialist in cardiac disease who will be measuring the results and collecting such data. Many of the studies underway have shown very promising results. Already much scientific work has been done and more is certainly needed. We at Hawaii Stem Cell Treatment Center believe many of these diseases will be treatable by advances in stem cell or cellular medicine in the near future.
These chronic diseases are debilitating and many times untreatable or if treatable with only marginal results. This has led to many modern diseases such as COPD and congestive heart failure, cardiac myopathy and other cardiopulmonary diseases. Disease of the respiratory and cardiac systems have plagued modern man due to smoking and high cholesterol diets of processed food.
