Key Takeaways Biologic therapies help many people with Crohn’s disease, but some patients stop responding over time or cannot tolerate them. Mesenchymal stem cells are the main type of stem cell treatments studied for Crohn’s, particularly for complex perianal fistulas. The only stem cell product ever approved for Crohn’s fistulas
Key Takeaways Traumatic brain injury (TBI) often causes lasting neurological deficits, since the brain has limited ability to repair itself after trauma. Stem cell therapy is being studied as a supportive treatment option that may calm inflammation and support the brain’s own repair signals. A Phase 2 controlled trial found
Key Takeaways The liver can repair itself to a point, but chronic liver diseases like cirrhosis eventually overwhelm that natural ability. Mesenchymal stem cell therapy is being studied as a supportive option, working mainly through anti inflammatory and immune-calming effects. One randomized trial found a real survival benefit in patients
Key Takeaways Mesenchymal stem cells MSCs are the main type of stem cell studied for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pulmonary fibrosis. The largest controlled trial found stem cell infusions safe and effective to receive, but did not show clear improving lung function results overall. A smaller trial using
Key Takeaways Knee osteoarthritis wears down articular cartilage, causing pain and stiffness that worsens over time. A 2025 systematic review and meta-analysis of 502 patients found stem cell injections significantly improved pain and function scores versus controls. Cell source mattered in that analysis. Adipose-derived cells showed clearer benefit than bone
Key Takeaways Exosome stem cell therapy uses cell-free vesicles instead of whole cells to support repair and calm inflammation. Exosomes carry proteins, lipids, and signaling molecules that support cell communication between damaged and healthy tissue. Research shows exosomes can help reduce inflammation and modulate immune response in chronic and autoimmune
Key Takeaways Anti aging stem cell treatment uses adult stem cells to support the body’s own healing process, not to reverse aging on its own. Good candidates are generally adults in stable overall health who want to support the body’s natural repair process before major decline sets in. Most specialists
