Cell Therapy at WIH Hospital

At WIH International Hospital, we are committed to advancing patient care through innovative research and emerging medical approaches. One of the promising areas under exploration in modern medicine is cell therapy, which utilizes specialized cells with the potential to support healing and regeneration in various medical contexts.

Understanding Cell Therapy

Cell therapy focuses on the use of unique cells that can develop into a variety of specialized types. These cells, often referred to as the body’s internal repair system, have the ability to divide and either remain as they are or transform into more specialized cells, such as muscle, blood, or nerve cells.

Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Cells

Our approach to cell therapy includes the use of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal cells, which are isolated from Wharton’s jelly, a substance found within the umbilical cord. These cells are widely regarded in research for their potential in medical applications due to their unique properties and versatility.

Advantages of Umbilical Cord MSCs

  • Non-Invasive Collection
    Umbilical cord tissue collection is entirely non-invasive, posing no risk to either the mother or newborn, making it a safe and ethical source for study.
  • High Proliferative Capacity
    These cells demonstrate a strong ability to multiply, making them valuable for use in medical research and treatment development.
  • Minimal Risk of Contamination
    Compared to other sources, such as bone marrow, umbilical cord-derived cells are less likely to carry certain infections or diseases.

Applications of Cell Therapy

Cell therapy is being explored as a potential treatment in several areas of medicine, including:

Regenerative Medicine

  • Bone and Cartilage Support: Investigating options for osteoarthritis, cartilage injuries, and bone health.
  • Cardiac Recovery: Studying approaches to assist recovery following heart-related injuries.
  • Wound Healing: Supporting the body’s natural ability to heal chronic wounds and burns.

Neurological Conditions

  • Spinal Health: Research into applications for spinal cord injuries.
  • Neurodegenerative Support: Studies exploring potential treatments for conditions such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

Immune and Inflammatory Conditions

  • Autoimmune Disorders: Investigating the modulation of immune responses in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.
