Transparency is integral to the patient journey at LMI. By openly sharing the "why" and "how" of our cutting-edge approaches, we foster trust and build a collaborative partnership with each individual. Our FAQ is not just a resource—it's a reflection of our dedication to ensuring that every patient feels supported, educated, and fully engaged in their transformative health journey. Stem Cells FAQs What Are Stem Cells and How Do They Support Regenerative Medicine? Stem cells are special, undifferentiated cells that have the unique ability to transform into various specialized cell types within the body. They play a vital role in growth, anti- inflammatory, immune regulation, tissue repair, and maintaining overall health, making them essential for regenerative medicine. Different types of stem cells are used for different medical purposes, so treatments are carefully tailored to meet specific needs - it's not a one-size-fits-all approach at LMI. What Types of Stem Cells are used in LMI Treatments? At Longevity Medical Institute (LMI), we use four (4) types of ethically sourced multi-potent stem cells, including: • Wharton's Jelly-derived Stem Cells (WJ-MSCs): Found in the umbilical cord, WJ- MSCs are highly versatile cells that can be used in treatments for immune disorders, neurological conditions, and overall regeneration. • Placenta-derived Stem Cells (P-MSCs): These cells are known for their powerful regenerative and immunomodulatory effects, ideal for tissue repair and anti- inflammatory treatments. • Endometrial Stem Cells (eMSCs): These endometrium- derived cells are particularly effective in reproductive health and gynecological applications but can also promote blood vessel growth in other tissue types. • Adipose-derived Stem Cells (adMSCs): These are derived from fat tissue and are highly effective for cosmetic and musculoskeletal applications due to their ability to regenerate soft tissue and reduce inflammation. Why Does Longevity Medical Institute use Different Types of Stem Cells for Treatment? We believe that each patient and condition is unique, which is why we use multiple types of stem cells tailored to the specific therapeutic needs. Stem cells are more effective when applied to their tissue of origin because they naturally respond to the local signals like growth factors and cytokines, promoting faster healing and regeneration. Their lineage preference makes them more likely to differentiate into the specific cell types needed for that tissue, ensuring more efficient integration and improved outcomes.
