Longevity Medical Institute FAQ's

cells. They are part of the body's natural immune response and help maintain overall health by detecting and eliminating threats before they can cause harm. How are NK Cells used in regenerative medicine at LMI? At LMI, NK Cells are used to enhance the body's immune response, particularly for patients with compromised immune systems or those recovering from illnesses. NK Cell therapy is designed to boost the body's ability to fight infections, target abnormal cells, and support overall wellness, making it a powerful complement to regenerative treatments. Why are Natural Killer (NK) cells sourced from cord blood? Cord blood is a highly valuable source for Natural Killer (NK) cells because it contains young, potent immune cells with robust cytotoxic activity. NK cells derived from cord blood are more effective due to their immaturity and greater capacity for expansion and activation. These cells are less likely to trigger adverse immune reactions, making them ideal for therapeutic applications. Are cord blood-derived NK cells safe and effective? Yes, NK cells sourced from cord blood are considered safe and effective. Their natural immunomodulatory and cytotoxic properties allow them to target infected or abnormal cells, such as cancerous cells, while leaving healthy tissues unaffected. The process of sourcing and preparing these cells is tightly controlled to ensure their safety, purity, and potency for therapeutic use. Why does LMI use cord blood-derived NK cells? At LMI, we prioritize cord blood-derived NK cells for their superior therapeutic benefits, including enhanced targeting of abnormal cells, higher activation potential, and a lower risk of adverse immune reactions. This ensures the most effective and safest treatment options for our patients, leveraging cutting-edge regenerative and immunotherapy techniques that go beyond what is typically available in traditional clinics. What conditions can NK Cell therapy help treat? NK Cell therapy has shown promise in treating various conditions, including cancer (especially in patients in remission), autoimmune disorders, chronic viral infections, and general immune system dysfunction. It is also used to support overall immune health, particularly in individuals recovering from illness or undergoing other therapies. Is NK Cell therapy safe? Yes, NK Cell therapy is considered safe when administered under medical supervision. Since NK Cells are naturally part of the body's immune system, the risk of adverse reactions is low. At LMI, we use rigorously tested protocols to ensure that NK Cell therapy is both safe and effective for our patients.
