An Overview of Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Discover the great healing power of Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are one of the most researched types of cells in regenerative therapies. MSCs are adult stem cells that have self-renewal, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, signaling, and differentiation properties.
Mesenchymal Stem Cells have the regenerative effects and are widely used in treating a variety of conditions, including repairing the damaged tissues, reducing autoimmune and inflammation.
How do mesenchymal stem cells work in the body?
Due to their self-renewable, differentiation, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties, our Thailand Stem Cell Therapy is widely used in the treatment of various disseases, as well as in the rejuvenation and anti-aging medicine.
“MSCs mainly exert their regenerative effects through paracrine and endocrine modes of action, which include immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, mitogenic, anti-apoptotic, anti-oxidative stress, anti-fibrotic, and angiogenic influences.” (1)

Sources of Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Skin Biopsy
MSCs derived from Skin Biopsy can be obtained from the belly, they can be rapidly acquired in large numbers and with high cellular activity through a skin punch procedure.
It is widely accepted that MSCs from skin biopsy can be used for a variety of different conditions, such as arthritis, joint pain, musculoskeletal issues, erecitle dysfunction and as well as anti-aging field.
Umbilical Cord Tissue
MSCs derived from umbilical cord tissue can be sourced from a variety of areas including Wharton’s Jelly, placenta, and amnion membrane. As a commonly discarded tissue, the umbilical cord contains a rich source of mesenchymal stem cells.
Umbilical cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells have the ability to differentiate into different cell types.
Similar to the Mesenchymal stem cell from skin biopsy, MSCs from umbilical cord tissue are rich in growth factors, which can improve different cell repair mechanisms. These functions all assist the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties of MSCs.
Blood
Compared to the invasive bone marrow liposuction, the MSCs derived from blood also have the similar regenerative function yet much easier to obtain with minimal or no invasive procedure.
MSCs are expanded and cultured from the patient’s own blood, taking about 30 days. They are usually used in treating knee and joint issues due to their functions in reducing inflammation and modulating the immune system. In Novavida Integrative Medical Center, our Thailand Stem Cell Therapy provides the sources of stem cell culturing including Skin Biopsy, Umbilical cord tissue and blood.
