A NEW HOPE IN PATIENT TREATMENT: STEM CELL
Despite the extraordinary progress made in the treatment of many diseases in parallel with technological developments today, unfortunately, especially cancer. To date, no radical solution has been provided in the treatment of some chronic infections and autoimmune diseases such as AIDS.
In the search for this treatment, the treatment called "Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy" has been increasingly used in the last 8-10 years. Its application seems quite hopeful.
I would like to inform you, my esteemed readers, about this treatment, which expands the field of treatment day by day and is applied successfully in our country.
WHAT IS STEM CELL? ?
Stem Cells are functionally undifferentiated main cells that form all tissues and organs in the human body and can transform into all kinds of body cells. These undifferentiated cells, due to their unlimited division and self-renewal properties, They have the ability to transform into organs and tissues. With this feature, wherever there is an injury and repair need, they go there and transform into the required cell type and repair the damage. For example, in those who have a heart attack, they turn to the heart, and in the same way, in those who have liver failure and damage. They go to the liver and make the necessary repairs. In other words, they transform into whatever type of cell and tissue is needed.
While our body has the most stem cells in the womb and in infancy, their number gradually decreases with advancing age.

Stem Cells, by taking advantage of these properties, have been used in recent years to treat all kinds of Central Nervous System diseases, especially Cancer (MS, Parkinson, Dementia and Alzheimer etc.) and all Autoimmune Diseases. Diabetes, Chronic Urticaria, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriasis, Behcet's Disease, Autoimmune Hepatitis, Ulcerative Colitis etc. ) It has found a treatment area for Chronic Hepatitis, Chronic Renal Failure and many similar chronic diseases, and increasingly positive results have begun to be obtained day by day.
The place where Stem Cells are most concentrated in the adult human body is the bone marrow. and Mesenchymal tissue, which is the fatty tissue collected mostly in the abdominal and gluteal regions. For Stem Cell Treatment Since it is easier to replace bone marrow, up to 200cc of fat tissue is removed from the patient's abdominal or gluteal region fat tissue by aspiration method. 80-150 million stem cells are produced from this tissue in the laboratory environment, depending on the need, and these cells are returned to the patient intravenously. Usually 2 days later. With this method, which is applied 2-3 times a month in total, these cells, which are returned to the patient in multiplied form, transform into tissue or organ cells in whatever tissue or organ is damaged and repair the damage in that place. In this way, the diseased area is repaired and therefore the patient is healed.
Although it seems correct in theory, in practice, while full recovery is achieved in most of the patients, for some reasons we do not yet know, the same rate of recovery cannot be achieved in some diseases. Despite this, This success makes this treatment method testable in many diseases that are still not fully treatable.
