Overview of Autologous Stem Cell and Non-Stem Cell Based Therapies
Autologous Stem Cell and Non-Stem Cell Based Therapies
What are autologous stem cell and
non-stem cell based therapies? Autologous stem cell transplants use healthy
blood stem cells from a patient's own body to replace diseased or damaged bone
marrow. This method is particularly helpful in patients with limited or
non-existent bone marrow cells. In contrast, non-stem cell-based therapies use
cells from a donor's bone marrow.
The quality of stem cells is also
important. Older patients have less bone marrow stem cell production than
younger patients. Therefore, it is important to source the best possible
quality stem cells from the patient's bone marrow. Moreover, many older
patients are considered unsuitable candidates for stem cell therapy, since
their bone marrow has less capacity than that of younger patients.

Autologous stem cell and non-stem
cell based therapies are a relatively new concept. However, there are a number
of potential benefits. For example, a stem cell transplant can regenerate new
neurons and restore nerve connections, which can improve sensory and motor
functions.
Although a few trials have shown
some benefits, there are also some safety concerns. One of the primary safety
concerns is the risk of arrhythmias, which have been seen in some stem cell
trials. This risk is not universal, but it may depend on the cell type.
Undifferentiated MSC or a poor cell-cell coupling may be at higher risk of
causing an arrhythmia. While stem cell transplantation is a viable therapy for
some solid tumors and hematologic malignancies, some patients still experience
fatal GVHD. Many patients who have autologous SCT are not cured due to disease
recurrence. This may be due to incomplete tumor elimination or contaminated
stem cell components. However, advances in stem cell therapy techniques are
continuing to attract interest.
The anti-inflammatory properties
of stem cells are important in osteoarthritis. These cells may delay the onset
of osteoarthritis and may improve joint function in arthritic patients.
Moreover, they may act on numerous joint tissues, including the cartilage and
synovium.
