Advanced Cell Therapy Product
Mesenchymal stem cells
Allogeneic stem cells ethically sourced from umbilical cord tissue, a rich source of primitive adult mesenchymal stem cells that retain high proliferative potential.
GMP-compliant manufacturing
GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) guidelines provide a quality assurance framework for manufacturing cell therapy products intended for clinical use. Adherence to GMP standards ensures the identity, purity, potency, and overall quality of the cell product.
Cultivation protocol
We use preconditioning strategies to enhance the therapeutic function of MSCs. Low passage numbers are maintained to preserve optimal potency and reduce the associated risk of cancer. Our stem cell products are cultured in xeno-free media.
Safety control
Sterility testing is a crucial step in releasing MSC-based cell therapy products. We conduct safety checks at every stage of production, including microbial testing, endotoxin detection, and viral screening using PCR.
Quality control
Each batch undergoes a quality check that includes morphology control, phenotype analysis, proliferative potential, cell viability, differentiation control, and extracellular vesicle (exosome) secretion, all of which indicate the stability of our cell lines.
Final control before clinical use
Before therapy, we perform final viability and quantity checks on our preparations to ensure their quality. These assessments confirm the health, integrity, and functionality of the cells. Our viability.
No risk of rejection
HUCT mesenchymal stem cells are naturally compatible with the body, so there is no risk of rejection and no need for HLA matching.
Ready-to-use
No invasive procedures are required, no stimulation or depletion of the patient’s own body, and no risk of unsuccessful preparation (cultivation). In contrast, our highly effective mesenchymal stem cells are always available in convenient, ready-to-use dosages designed for safe and effective results.
Secretome
Our bodies are regulated by tiny messengers called secretomes — such as exosomes, cytokines, growth factors, and other active molecules. HUCT mesenchymal stem cells are one of the richest sources of these secretomes, naturally supporting growth, repair, and regeneration.
Mechanism of Mesenchymal Stem Cell Action
The therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for treating various diseases is significant. The
main mechanisms of their function have been widely studied and include the following:
MSCs release growth factors and signaling molecules that reduce inflammation, support healing, and protect cells.
MSCs attract the body’s own stem cells to sites of injury, enhancing tissue repair.
They can differentiate into bone, cartilage, or fat cells to replace damaged tissues.
MSCs can deliver healthy mitochondria to damaged cells, restoring energy and function in neurodegenerative and cardiovascular therapies.
MSCs help balance the immune system, preventing excessive inflammation and tissue damage.
They promote new blood vessel formation to improve oxygen and nutrient delivery.
They provide a scaffold and secrete factors that aid the survival and function of surrounding cells.
MSCs naturally migrate to areas of inflammation or injury, targeting therapy where it is needed.
Stem Cell Products Delivery Methods
Doctors at EmCell Stem Cell Center use various delivery methods to maximize the effectiveness of stem cells in treating different health conditions. The choice of delivery system depends on the condition, the type of stem cell products, and each patient’s individual needs. In this way, we ensure both the efficacy and safety of stem cell therapy.
Stem cell intravenous infusion delivers stem cells directly into the bloodstream, allowing fast absorption and controlled dosing. The cells then circulate and naturally migrate to the areas where repair or healing is needed.
Delivers stem cells into the spinal canal, allowing direct access to the cerebrospinal fluid and central nervous system.
Places stem cells under the skin for slow absorption and gradual release into the body.
Injects stem cells into muscle tissue, supporting local repair and regeneration.
Delivers stem cells directly into joints to reduce inflammation and repair cartilage.
Administers stem cells near the spine to target nerve roots and surrounding tissues.
Introduces stem cells through the respiratory system, reaching the lungs and entering circulation.
Applies stem cells topically to support wound healing, tissue repair, and skin rejuvenation.
Provides a non-invasive route, allowing stem cells to bypass the blood–brain barrier and reach the brain.
Frequently Asked Questions
View some of the most common questions about our treatments, stem cells and clinic.
What are the contraindications for stem cell treatment? Can anyone become a patient?
Are there any side effects?
Multiple peer-reviewed studies have shown that mesenchymal stem cells are a safe cell product. At EmCell Stem Cell Center, we have never had any patients report harmful effects from their infusion or a worsening of their condition.
Common short-term side effects immediately following the cell infusion may include fatigue, headache, and nausea. Patients are under direct medical supervision for the entire treatment and a recovery period of 1–2 hours. We have not observed any side effects.
Can stem cells administered via IV cause clots or embolism?
There is no risk of clot or embolism from intravenous stem cell infusion when proper clinical protocols are followed. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are generally within an optimal size range (≈17–19 µm), allowing them to pass safely through the pulmonary circulation without blocking blood flow. During production and prior to administration, the cells are processed, washed, and filtered to prevent aggregation, while viability and sterility tests ensure safety. Infusions are administered slowly under strict medical supervision to minimize hemodynamic stress. Serious complications such as embolism are virtually impossible when treatments adhere to established clinical standards.
Can MSCs cause graft-versus-host disease?
No. Unlike other types of stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) do not trigger graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). In fact, MSCs are known for their ability to calm the immune system and reduce the risk of immune-related complications. Many studies report benefits of MSCs in both acute and chronic GVHD. This makes them a safe option even when cells come from a donor.
Do stem cells settle in the lungs?
After IV infusion, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) may temporarily pass through the lungs — this is called the “pulmonary first-pass effect.” However, due to their optimal size and strong homing ability, MSCs are not permanently trapped. Instead, they continue on to sites of inflammation or injury in the body while also releasing beneficial molecules in the lungs that support immune balance and healing.
