Stem Cell Overview
StemSave™ offers you and your family a unique stem cell recovery and cryopreservation service, in the event of future injury or disease.
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) recently discovered stem cells in teeth – the cells that naturally repair your body. Today, scientists are at the nexus of directing stem cells to grow into almost any type of human cells, including heart, brain, nerve, cartilage, bone and liver cells. Now you have an unprecedented and timely opportunity to secure and store your family’s own unique stem cells to treat future disease or injury.
Doctors recommend StemSave™ for banking stem cells from baby teeth, wisdom teeth or permanent teeth for those parents who missed the opportunity to save their children’s cord blood.The restorative properties of stem cells:
Stem cells are unique because they drive the natural healing process throughout your life. Stem cells are different from other cells in the body because they regenerate and produce specialized cell types. They heal and restore skin, bones, cartilage, muscles, nerves and other tissues when injured. There are two main types of stem cells: adult stem cells, such as those found in bone marrow and teeth (see Stem Cells in Teeth),and embryonic stem cells (see Other Stem Cells).
Today, medical researchers are learning how to control stem cells and direct their growth into specialized cells, including: blood, skin, bone, cartilage, teeth, muscle and nerves.
As a result, amazing new medical treatments are being developed to treat a range of diseases contemporary medicine currently deems difficult or impossible to treat. Among them are:
- Parkinson's Disease
- Brain Injuries
- Heart Disease
- Diabetes
- Arthritis
- Muscular dystrophy
- Leukemia
- Crohn's disease
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Neimann-Pick Type C
- Periodontal Disease
- Sports Injuries
- Cosmetic and Anti-aging Applications
