What is cellular therapy?
Cellular therapy, also known as cell-based therapy or regenerative medicine, involves administering living cells to promote tissue repair, regeneration, and functional restoration. These cells can be derived from various sources, including the patient's body (autologous cells), donated tissues (allogeneic cells), or laboratory-cultivated cells.
The core principle of cellular therapy lies in the remarkable regenerative potential of certain cells, such as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). These cells possess the ability to self-renew and differentiate into various cell types, making them invaluable in repairing damaged tissues, reducing inflammation, and modulating the immune response.
