Embryonic Stem Cell Therapy and Modern Clinical Investigations
1. Embryonic tissues institution EmCell is an individual limited liability company (LLC) established in 1994. EmCell team has been working for 15 years and got international acknowledgement among the most distinguished clinical professionals in the sphere of investigations and clinical usage of embryonic stems cells (ESC) in vivo.
2. Today, this highly efficient crew of like-minded persons is led by Prof. Alexander Ivanovich Smikodub, who use ESC in vivo. They work out indications and contraindications for the treatment of severe, acquired and genetic sicknesses caused by cell count decrease.
September 9, 1994 is birthday of Cell Therapy Clinic of the National Medical University of Ukraine and Embryonic Tissues Centre EmCell. It has been acting for 15 years in spite of all changes in legislation and other events in the country. In all these years, we cured thousands of people from diverse countries of the world and presented more than 3 000 transplantations of ESC and embryonic tissues. Thousands of lives were saved and prolonged with the help of our methods. We recovered many organs and tissues and showed that people with incurable diseases can be treated with the assistance of stem cells.
You can also find that on November 17, 2005 BBC started program that is named the Last Hope Clinic. It was named so, because for fifteen years we helped people in the most difficult occasions, who had no other hope for cure. Apart from this, hospital offers effective prevention and anti-aging systems.
4. The techniques of stem cell isolation and storage
EmCell and clinic experts utilize modern means of stem cell seclusion and storing. These means were patented in diverse countries of the world, including United Kingdom and Holland. They make embryonic cell suspensions, test them and use them for clinical purposes, therefore every expert includes acting in sterile containers with clinical practice. Our opinion is that transplantation of materials that are made at the center to the person is the best option.
Various biotechnological stages of operating with the material of stem cells:
1. Great quality embryonic material that is taken in gynecological departments and which is secure, timely and ethically endorsed;
2. Preparation of embryonic cell materials and inserting them into abacterial boxes;
3. Examination of embryonic cell materials in secure and vital atmosphere;
4. Low temperature embryonic tissues cryopreservation;
5. Testing of embryonic cell suspensions after defrosting;
6. The last stage is long-period storing of embryonic cell materials in cryobank.
5. Cell matter bank
This bank is a significant issue for EmCell. Modern boxes contain more than 10 000 embryonic, fetal and cord blood cell suspensions of man and testing animal tissues. Periodic examinations for bacteria and fungi are made for all those containers and media.
