Cell therapies and what you need to know about them

/0 comments/in , , /from

Cell therapy is a revolutionary medical technique that aims to treat disease or injury at the cellular level. This approach has the potential to eclipse traditional therapies that focus primarily on symptom relief.

Advantages of cell therapy:

Targeted Treatment: Unlike traditional therapies, which often affect the entire body, cell therapy can directly target the affected tissue or organ, which can minimize side effects.
Potential for permanent cure: Rather than just treating symptoms, cell therapy aims to address the cause of the disease. This means it has the potential to provide permanent or long-lasting cures.
Use of the body's own cells: In many cases, the patient's cells are used, which reduces the risk of rejection or incompatibilities.
