Muscular Dystrophy Treatment
Stem Cell Therapy for Dystrophies & Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Muscular dystrophy is a group of disorders, characterized by progressive degeneration of skeletal muscles and muscle weakness. There are nine different types of dystrophies and all of them are associated with the faulty gene dystrophin that creates a defect in muscle protein, leading to progressive damage of muscle cells and tissue. Most of these muscular dystrophies are multi-system disorders with manifestations in different systems of the body, such as the cardiovascular system, gastrointestinal system, nervous system, endocrine system, etc.
Thus, children with muscular dystrophy typically succumb to paralysis and eventually death in their early twenties due to respiratory failure and cardiac complications. In the majority of the cases, the symptoms are apparent in early childhood by the age of 3-5 years, when the child has difficulty in walking and controlling body movements.
Although conventional treatment options are limited, due to recent successful therapeutic benefits of stem cell therapy for muscular dystrophy, proven in pre-clinical analysis; a keen interest has been developed in using stem cells for muscular dystrophies, with the hope that they are effective in regenerating muscular damage.
Stem Cell Therapy for Muscular Dystrophy Treatment: Advancells Protocol
At Advancells, we have identified the unlimited potential of stem cells isolated from different Adult Autologous sources of human bodies, including Bone Marrow, Adipose Tissue, etc. With our advanced Technical Support, Scientific Excellence and Competent Quality Management System, we are focused to provide a comprehensive, personalized muscle weakness treatment solution that is best suited for individual requirements of people undergoing muscular dystrophy stem cell treatment.
With extensive research these challenges are now comprehensible to therapeutic ventures resulting in stem cell therapy for muscular dystrophy using autologous treatment/allogenic transplant for adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells treatment and bone marrow stromal cells treatment.
This new insight on the treatment of muscular dystrophy has helped in identifying the potential to overcome muscular dystrophy with stem cells, primarily using autologous stem cell transplant in form of hematopoietic stem cell transplant or mesenchymal stromal cells treatment.

Recent Testimonials for Muscular Dystrophy
With pioneering experiments and outcomes in the preclinical investigations, almost 70-80% of the patients, treated at Advancells using Mesenchymal Stem Cells, have indicated restoration of a considerable proportion of muscle fibers. Although the degree of improvement is quite variable, based on reported claims, we can successfully report positive improvement in areas, such as:
- Reduced episodes of muscular weakness, twitching, and stiffness
- Significant improvement in the volume of muscle fibers
- Improved mobility
- Improved functional restoration
- Better cognitive and motor skills
FAQs
MD's are a group of disorders characterized by hereditary defects in muscle protein, the death of muscle cells and muscular weakness. Mutations in genes, involved in muscular membrane structure and function can also welcome the deformity. Theoretically, if stem cells are injected into the body, they can produce normal muscle cells which are non-functional due to faulty genes. Some kind of stimulation can also be helpful to multiply the residential stem cells and differentiate on their own to muscle cells.
Undifferentiated adult autologous stem cells are mutable and can Metamorph into countless numbers of cells as per the requirement. This remarkable property of stem cells can be exploited for treating a variety of diseases. These cells can be isolated from the most potent sources of our own body known as Adipose Tissue and Bone Marrow. Upon implanting back into the body, these cells can rapidly multiply with greater speed to promote regeneration of muscular cells, to help control over your mood swings, to improve the physical fitness and overall mobility. Additionally, a stimulation therapy can also be applied, wherein the organ is stimulated to multiply the resident stem cells and secrete growth factors to create microenvironment. This treatment will act as a booster to promote regeneration.
The conventional treatment approach is highly invasive and associated with many side effects. Although stem cells can naturally heal the body from damage and regenerate lost tissue-specific cells to improve impaired functions. Additionally, since the body's own cells are used for repairing, the entire treatment is minimally invasive without any side effects.
Stem cells transplantation is of different types ranging from allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells, umbilical cord blood-derived stem cells, autologous bone marrow and fat-derived stem cells, etc. However, out of these, autologous mode of stem cell transplantation is known to be the most useful as body's own cells are used they don't impose any threat of rejection of infection.
