How can GIOSTAR's Stem Cell Therapy help?

Stem cells are key to the recovery treatments we offer to our patients. Since stem cells can divide to become any cell, they can be lead to replenish the part of the body that needs new functional cells to repair tissues or blood vessels, make new cartilage, replace lost nerve cells with healthy ones, and also adapt to the properties of resident healthy cells to initiate the lost functions that have been compromised by the disease or injury.

Our stem cells go under a specially designed process by Dr. Anand Srivastava that makes it possible that once infused back in the body they can repopulate the damaged parts of the organ, through their strong paracrine effects and differentiate into lost or damaged alveolar epithelial cells of the air sacs. They can as well create new blood vessels to improve the supply of blood or help in production of supporting cells to improve the functioning of the vascular system.

Thus with our standardized, broad-based and holistic approach, it is now possible to obtain noticeable improvements in the patients with the COPD, in the symptoms as well as their functional abilities.
