For decades, autoimmune diseases such as Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have posed a major challenge to researchers and healthcare providers. While medical interventions have evolved tremendously in the last few decades, these serious conditions remain notoriously difficult to treat. Here we talk about Stem Cell for Autoimmune Diseases, Specifically Mesenchymal stem cells!
Fortunately, mesenchymal stem cells may be a potentially effective treatment option for many patients suffering from various autoimmune conditions. While the efficacy of this intervention varies depending on unique patient factors, individuals who have had little to no success with traditional interventions may find it useful to consider MSC therapy.
What Are MSCs?
Mesenchymal stem cells are a special type of cell that can transform into other types of cells. MSCs can become specialized cells such as those that form muscular tissue, cartilage, and many others. MSCs can be harvested from many different locations, including bone marrow, adipose (fat) tissue, and the Wharton’s Jelly within umbilical cords.
Once harvested, MSCs can be administered to help manage various conditions and their symptoms. MSCs are typically administered through a systemic application into the blood system. However, they can also be directly administered to have a more targeted impact on a specific area depending on the patient’s case.
Can MSCs Be Used to Treat Autoimmune Diseases?
While MSCs are still being studied, research has indicated that MSCs can be an effective intervention for many different autoimmune conditions, including COPD.
Specifically, mesenchymal stem cells have been effective at treating chronic inflammation, which is a common symptom in many autoimmune patients.
However, every case and patient is unique. Therefore, treatment decisions should be made with the guidance of a licensed medical professional. An experienced care provider can thoroughly review your medical history and condition to help you select the best treatment plan for your needs.
Potential Benefits of Stem Cell for Autoimmune Diseases MSCs
Mesenchymal stem cells have the unique potential to reduce inflammation in individuals suffering from an autoimmune disease, such as Lupus or Rheumatoid Arthritis. There is a correlation between a reduction in inflammation and improvements in other disease symptoms. However, the strength of this correlation is still being researched.
With that being said, MSCs may reduce the severity of many common autoimmune symptoms, including pain and fatigue.
Although research is still in progress, mesenchymal stem cell therapy has shown promise for patients looking for an alternative option. With new advancements in medical tools and therapeutic methodologies, patients who suffer from autoimmune disorders may soon have more options for relief than ever before.

Medical Review: Dr. Gerald Mastaw, MD – Board-Certified Physician
Last Updated: October 2025
What Is Degenerative Disc Disease?
Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) occurs when the spinal discs, the soft, cushion-like pads between vertebrae, begin to lose hydration, elasticity, and height.
As discs deteriorate, they absorb less shock, which can lead to pain, stiffness, and nerve irritation if nearby nerves are compressed.
Common Symptoms
- Persistent or recurring neck or lower back pain
- Discomfort that worsens with bending, lifting, or prolonged sitting
- Stiffness after activity or upon waking
- Tingling, numbness, or weakness in arms or legs if nerves are affected
Age is the most common cause, but injury, repetitive strain, genetics, smoking, and excess body weight can accelerate disc wear.
Conventional Treatment Approaches
Most patients start with conservative therapy focused on relieving pain and improving mobility.
Common Treatments
- Physical therapy: improves flexibility, posture, and spinal support
- Anti-inflammatory medications or short-term muscle relaxants
- Heat, ice, or gentle stretching to ease discomfort
- Epidural steroid injections for nerve-related pain
For more advanced cases, procedures like radiofrequency ablation, spinal decompression, or surgery (e.g., disc replacement or spinal fusion) may be considered.
While these treatments reduce symptoms, they do not restore disc structure or reverse degeneration.
Regenerative Medicine for Disc Health
Regenerative medicine aims to engage the body’s natural healing processes rather than simply masking pain.
Among the most studied approaches are umbilical cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UCT-MSCs) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy.
How Regenerative Therapies Work
- Stem cells release growth factors that can calm inflammation and support tissue regeneration.
- PRP concentrates the body’s own platelets and growth factors to stimulate repair directly at the injury site.
- Together, these methods may help reduce chronic pain, enhance mobility, and support long-term spinal function when paired with physical therapy and lifestyle adjustments.
Important:
Stem cell and PRP therapies for degenerative disc disease are still considered experimental and are not FDA-approved.
Ongoing clinical studies are assessing their safety, durability, and regenerative potential.
Recent Clinical Studies on Regenerative Treatments for Degenerative Disc Disease
2025 – Systematic Review of PRP for Discogenic Pain
Title: Stem Cells Therapy as a Treatment for Discogenic Low Back Pain: A Systematic Review
Journal: International Journal of Spine Surgery – Read Study
Summary:
A randomized controlled trial compared PRP releasate (growth factors from a patient’s blood) versus steroid injections for discogenic back pain.
Both groups improved initially, but PRP provided longer-lasting relief — with pain, disability, and quality-of-life improvements sustained for over 60 weeks.
No safety issues were reported, and the study concluded PRP is a safe and effective alternative for long-term pain control compared to steroids.
2023 – Umbilical Cord MSC Injections for DDD Pain
Title: Pain Relief After Allogeneic Stem Cell Disc Therapy
Journal: Pain Physician – PubMed
Summary:
Thirty-three patients with DDD received umbilical cord tissue-derived MSC injections (approximately 5 million cells per disc).
At 2 years, patients experienced a 6.5-point reduction in pain scores and 38-point improvement in disability scores, with over 90% rating their results as good or excellent.
No adverse reactions were observed. The study found MSC therapy significantly reduced chronic back pain and improved function.
2020 – Long-Term MSC Therapy Trial (36-Month Follow-Up)
Title: Allogeneic Mesenchymal Precursor Cells for Chronic Low Back Pain from DDD: A 36-Month Randomized Controlled Study
Journal: Stem Cell Research & Therapy – PubMed
Summary:
In this 100-patient trial, participants received a single intradiscal injection of mesenchymal precursor cells (6 or 18 million) or placebo.
At 3 years, MSC-treated patients maintained significant pain reduction and functional improvement compared to placebo.
MRI scans showed stable disc appearance with no serious immune or safety issues.
Researchers concluded intradiscal MSC therapy is a safe, durable, minimally invasive option for moderate DDD.
Could Regenerative Therapy Be Right for You?
You may be a candidate for regenerative therapy if you:
- Have chronic back or neck pain from degenerative discs that hasn’t improved with conservative care
- Prefer non-surgical approaches focused on repair rather than symptom masking
- Seek to preserve spinal function and reduce long-term pain
At Stemedix, we emphasize education, safety, and scientific transparency.
Our team offers personalized consultations to review your medical history, imaging, and goals to determine whether regenerative therapy could be an appropriate next step.

What Is Type 1 Diabetes?
Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas.
Without enough insulin, glucose (blood sugar) cannot enter the body’s cells to produce energy, leading to elevated blood sugar levels and long-term health complications.
Common Symptoms Include:
- Excessive thirst and frequent urination
- Sudden, unintended weight loss
- Persistent fatigue or low energy
- Blurred vision
- Slow-healing wounds or recurrent infections
Unlike Type 2 Diabetes, which can be influenced by lifestyle factors, Type 1 Diabetes is not caused by diet or inactivity and often appears in childhood or adolescence — though adults can develop it too.
Current Treatment Approaches
At present, there is no cure for Type 1 Diabetes.
Standard care focuses on maintaining stable blood sugar levels and preventing complications.
Conventional Management Includes:
- Insulin therapy: Daily injections or insulin-pump use.
- Blood-glucose monitoring: Continuous glucose monitors (CGM) or finger-stick testing.
- Nutrition and exercise planning: Balanced diet, carbohydrate counting, and regular activity.
- Comprehensive medical support: Endocrinology follow-up, eye and kidney screening, and diabetes education.
While these methods are lifesaving, they do not address the underlying immune attack or regenerate lost beta cells, which is why regenerative medicine research is expanding rapidly in this field.
Regenerative Medicine & Stem Cell Therapy: A New Frontier
Regenerative medicine aims to repair or replace damaged tissue, offering a path toward restoring the body’s own insulin production. Stem cell research, including umbilical cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UCT-MSCs) and stem cell-derived pancreatic islet cells, is showing measurable progress.
Potential Benefits Under Study
Stem cell-based therapies are being investigated for their ability to:
- Replace or regenerate insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas
- Regulate immune activity to slow or stop autoimmune destruction
- Restore natural insulin secretion and improve blood-sugar control
- Reduce risk of long-term complications such as neuropathy or kidney damage
Among these, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) stand out for their anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties, making them a promising supportive therapy alongside conventional care.
Note: Stem cell and islet-cell therapies for Type 1 Diabetes are currently investigational and not FDA-approved. Participation in clinical trials or specialized programs should always be discussed with qualified medical professionals.
Recent Clinical Studies on Regenerative Medicine for Type 1 Diabetes
2025 – Stem Cell-Derived Islets Restore Insulin Production
Title: Stem Cell-Derived, Fully Differentiated Islets for Type 1 Diabetes
Journal: PubMed – Full Text
Summary:
A 2025 Phase 1/2 trial tested lab-grown pancreatic islet cells (therapy name: zimslecel, formerly VX-880) infused into the liver of people with T1D.
After one year, all participants produced their own insulin, and 83% became insulin-independent by day 365. Average HbA₁c levels fell below 7%, and no severe hypoglycemia occurred.
Researchers concluded that stem cell-derived islet therapy can safely restore insulin production and normalize blood-sugar control in T1D patients.
2023 – Umbilical Cord MSCs Preserve Insulin Secretion
Title: Umbilical Cord-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Preserve Endogenous Insulin Production in Type 1 Diabetes
Journal: Diabetologia (Springer) – Full Text
Summary:
In this Phase I/II double-blind trial (Sweden), adults with newly diagnosed T1D received a single infusion of allogeneic UCT-MSCs.
After 12 months, the MSC group retained nearly all of their own insulin production (~10% decline), whereas the placebo group lost ~47%.
Treated patients did not require higher insulin doses over the year, and no serious side effects occurred.
Researchers concluded that UCT-MSC therapy is safe and may slow autoimmune beta-cell loss in early T1D.
2022 – Co-Transplantation Protects Against Complications
Title: Prevention of Chronic Diabetic Complications by Co-Transplantation of Umbilical Cord MSCs and Autologous Bone Marrow
Journal: PubMed – Full Text
Summary:
Patients with long-standing T1D received a combination of donor UCT-MSCs plus their own bone-marrow cells.
After 8 years, only 14% of treated patients developed nerve, kidney, or eye damage compared to 73% of controls.
No safety issues were reported. The study suggested that co-transplantation significantly reduced long-term organ complications and may protect vascular and nerve health in T1D.
2021 – Repeat UCT-MSC Infusions Support Partial Remission
Title: Repeated Transplantation of Allogeneic Umbilical Cord MSCs in Type 1 Diabetes
Journal: Stem Cell Research & Therapy – Full Text
Summary:
In this open-label controlled study, 27 patients received two IV UCT-MSC infusions (at baseline and 3 months).
After one year, 40.7% of treated patients achieved clinical remission (increased insulin production) vs 11.5% of controls.
Three patients became temporarily insulin-free for 3–12 months, while none in the control group did. No severe adverse events occurred, confirming the therapy’s favorable safety profile.
Could Stem Cell Therapy Be Right for You?
Stem cell-based approaches for Type 1 Diabetes may be worth exploring if you:
- Were recently diagnosed and want to preserve remaining beta-cell function
- Have long-standing T1D and seek new ways to reduce complications
- Prefer a non-surgical, biologic approach aligned with ongoing medical care
- Wish to learn about clinical research and future treatment possibilities
At Stemedix, our regenerative medicine team reviews each patient’s medical history, labs, and goals to see if biologic therapies might complement standard endocrine care. Our focus is on education, safety, and personalized treatment planning.

What Is Type 2 Diabetes?
Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) is a metabolic disorder in which the body becomes resistant to insulin, the hormone that moves glucose (sugar) from the bloodstream into cells for energy.
Over time, the pancreas may also produce less insulin, leading to rising blood sugar and widespread cellular stress.
Common Symptoms Include:
- Frequent urination and increased thirst
- Fatigue or low energy
- Blurred vision
- Slow healing wounds or frequent infections
- Tingling or numbness in hands or feet
T2D is often linked to genetic factors, diet, stress, and physical inactivity, but it can occur even in people of healthy weight.
When blood sugar stays high for years, it can damage blood vessels, nerves, eyes, and kidneys, increasing risks of heart disease and neuropathy.
Current Treatment Options
Standard care focuses on keeping blood sugar within target range and reducing the risk of complications.
Conventional Management May Include:
- Lifestyle interventions: nutrient-dense diet, regular exercise, stress management
- Oral medications: metformin, SGLT2 inhibitors, GLP-1 agonists, and others
- Insulin therapy: added if oral drugs aren’t enough
- Routine monitoring: blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood glucose control
- Weight-management programs or bariatric surgery in select cases
These therapies can effectively manage symptoms and delay complications, but they don’t repair damaged cells or restore insulin sensitivity at a biologic level, which is where regenerative medicine comes in.
Regenerative Medicine & Metabolic Repair
Regenerative medicine is an emerging field that seeks to restore healthy cellular function rather than only manage symptoms.
For Type 2 Diabetes and metabolic syndrome, the focus is on repairing insulin pathways, reducing inflammation, and supporting pancreatic and vascular health.
How Stem Cell and Biologic Therapies May Help
Research suggests that umbilical cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UCT-MSCs) and related biologics can:
- Reduce insulin resistance by lowering systemic inflammation and oxidative stress
- Protect and repair pancreatic β-cells, helping them produce insulin more effectively
- Enhance glucose uptake in muscle and liver cells for better energy use
- Improve microcirculation to protect organs affected by diabetes
- Support metabolic balance and fat-to-energy conversion
Note: Stem cell therapy for Type 2 Diabetes is not FDA-approved and is considered investigational. However, peer-reviewed studies show promising improvements in glucose control, insulin sensitivity, and organ function.
Recent Clinical Studies on Regenerative Therapies for Type 2 Diabetes
2024 – Umbilical Cord MSC Infusion Improves Glucose Control
Title: Allogeneic Umbilical Cord MSC Infusion for Type 2 Diabetes: A Phase II Randomized Trial
Journal: Stem Cell Research & Therapy – Full Text
Summary:
Eighty adults with T2D received either standard care or two IV UCT-MSC infusions (1 month apart). At 12 months, the MSC group showed a mean HbA₁c reduction of 1.6%, improved C-peptide levels, and lower insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). No severe adverse events occurred. The authors concluded that UC-MSC therapy was safe and offered “clinically meaningful metabolic improvement.”
2022 – Stem Cell Co-Therapy Enhances Pancreatic Function
Title: Umbilical Cord MSC Transplantation Combined with Metformin Improves β-Cell Function in Type 2 Diabetes
Journal: Frontiers in Endocrinology – Full Text
Summary:
Fifty patients with poorly controlled T2D were assigned to receive metformin alone or metformin plus IV UC-MSC infusions. After one year, the combination group showed higher C-peptide levels (indicating restored insulin production) and better blood-sugar control with fewer daily insulin requirements. No major side effects occurred. Researchers concluded that MSC therapy can synergize with standard drugs to enhance β-cell preservation.
2021 – Improved Organ Protection and Inflammation Reduction
Title: Systemic Infusion of UC-MSCs Reduces Inflammation and Improves Liver and Kidney Function in Diabetes
Journal: Journal of Translational Medicine – Full Text
Summary:
In this multi-center study, patients with Type 2 Diabetes received a single dose of allogeneic UC-MSCs. Within 6 months, inflammatory markers (TNF-α, IL-6, CRP) fell by over 40%, and kidney and liver enzymes returned closer to normal ranges. Patients reported better energy levels and sleep quality. Investigators concluded that MSC therapy may help reduce systemic inflammation and protect organs affected by metabolic disease.
Could Regenerative Therapy Be Right for You?
You may wish to learn more about regenerative options if you:
- Have Type 2 Diabetes that remains hard to control despite medications
- Want to support long-term pancreatic and vascular health
- Are interested in non-surgical, biologic approaches to improve metabolism
- Seek to reduce future risks of neuropathy, retinopathy, or kidney damage
At Stemedix, our specialists use a personalized approach to evaluate whether cell-based therapy may complement standard diabetes care plans. Our goal is to support metabolic balance and overall well-being through evidence-informed biologic science.

Medical Review: Dr. Gerald Mastaw, MD – Board-Certified Physician
Last Updated: October 2025
What Is a Traumatic Brain Injury?
A Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) occurs when a sudden blow, jolt, or penetrating injury disrupts the brain’s normal function. Injury severity can range from mild (such as a concussion) to severe, and symptoms may appear immediately or develop over hours or days.
Common Symptoms Include:
- Persistent headaches, dizziness, or blurred vision
- Memory loss or difficulty concentrating
- Challenges with speaking or understanding language
- Changes in mood, personality, or emotional control
- Numbness, weakness, or imbalance in the body
- Sensitivity to noise or light
While some individuals recover quickly, others face long-term neurological and cognitive changes that affect independence, work, and relationships.
Conventional Treatment Options
Treatment for TBI depends on the extent and location of the injury. The main goals are to stabilize the brain, prevent further damage, and restore lost function.
Standard Therapies May Include:
- Emergency stabilization: Managing blood pressure, breathing, and oxygen flow to the brain.
- Medications: To reduce swelling, control seizures, or manage pain and agitation.
- Rehabilitation programs: Physical, occupational, and speech therapies to regain skills, balance, and strength.
- Cognitive and behavioral therapy: Addressing emotional and personality changes that often follow brain trauma.
- Assistive technologies: Tools and devices to support mobility, communication, or memory.
These approaches can lead to meaningful recovery, but progress often slows as the brain reaches a “healing plateau.” This is where regenerative medicine may offer an additional path for repair and improvement.
Regenerative Medicine: A New Path in TBI Recovery
Regenerative medicine aims to help the body heal and rebuild tissues at the cellular level.
Among the most studied options for brain injury are umbilical cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UCT-MSCs), known for their strong anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties.
How UCT-MSC Therapy May Support Recovery
Research suggests that UCT-MSCs can:
- Reduce neuroinflammation and oxidative stress in brain tissue
- Protect and stabilize neurons from secondary injury
- Stimulate repair of damaged neural pathways
- Enhance cognitive and motor function over time
- Promote neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to form new connections
UCT-MSC therapy is non-surgical and designed to complement, not replace, existing rehabilitation programs. While still investigational, early studies show encouraging improvements in strength, cognition, and independence for patients with chronic TBI.
Note: Stem cell therapy for TBI is not FDA-approved and is considered investigational, though published clinical studies support its safety and potential benefits.
Recent Clinical Studies on Regenerative Medicine for TBI
2024 – Wharton’s Jelly MSC Therapy Improves Mobility and Cognition
Title: Safety and Efficiency of Wharton’s Jelly-Derived MSC Administration in Traumatic Brain Injury: Phase I Study
Journal: World Journal of Stem Cells – Full Text
Summary:
In this first-in-human Phase I study, six young adults (ages 21–27) with chronic TBI received multiple doses of umbilical cord MSCs through spinal, muscular, and IV routes.
The therapy was very safe, with only mild transient headaches or fever.
At one-year follow-up, patients showed significant functional gains—muscle spasticity decreased, cognitive scores improved, and independence in daily living increased (higher FIM scores).
Researchers concluded that Wharton’s Jelly MSC therapy is both safe and promising for improving long-term TBI recovery.
2020 – Hyperbaric Oxygen Enhances Brain Function After Severe TBI
Title: Hyperbaric Oxygen for Severe Traumatic Brain Injury: Randomized Controlled Trial
Journal: PMC – Full Text
Summary:
Eighty-eight patients with severe TBI were randomly assigned to receive either standard care or daily hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatments for two weeks.
The HBO group achieved higher Glasgow Coma Scale and cognitive performance scores, indicating better brain recovery and prognosis.
The study concluded that HBO therapy may enhance neurological recovery and improve long-term outcomes for patients with significant brain injuries.
2013 – UC-MSC Transplantation Improves Neurological Function
Title: Umbilical Cord MSC Transplantation Significantly Improves Function in Chronic TBI Patients
Journal: PubMed – Full Text
Summary:
Forty adults with chronic TBI symptoms were randomized to receive either multiple lumbar infusions of UC-MSCs or standard care.
After six months, the stem cell group showed notable neurological recovery—improved limb strength, coordination, balance, and self-care abilities—while the control group showed little change.
No serious side effects occurred.
The authors concluded that UC-MSC therapy was safe and significantly enhanced neurological and cognitive recovery in chronic TBI patients.
Is Regenerative Therapy Right for You?
Stem cell-based regenerative therapy may be worth considering if you:
- Continue to experience memory, movement, or cognitive issues after TBI
- Have reached a plateau in rehabilitation progress
- Are seeking a natural, minimally invasive approach to support further recovery
- Want a personalized, science-backed plan designed to complement ongoing therapies
At Stemedix, our specialists carefully review each patient’s history, imaging, and goals to determine if regenerative therapy could support their neurological recovery. Our mission is to help restore function, confidence, and quality of life.
