Histostem
Histostem is a stem cell provider, specializing in the MLPCs (Multi-Lineage Progenitor Cells) research, the treatment of disease and injury, and the banking of stem cells. Stem cells are the body’s “master” cells because they give rise to all other tissues, organs, and systems in the body. The stemcells’ ability to differentiate, or change, into other types of cells in the body, is a fairly new discovery that holds tremendous promise for treating and curing some of the most common diseases such as heart diseases, cancers, stroke, paralysis, liver cirrhosis, Buerger’s and Alzheimer’s diseases.What’s more, this treatment is not years away. Histostem is already using hematopoietic stemcells taken from UCB to treat blood diseases such as various kinds of leukemia, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, etc. Histostem also succeeded in extracting non-hematopoietic multipotent stem cells from UCB in their most pure state and perfected in multiplying and cultivating those stemcells. Histostem is the world’s first runner in applying our stem cell therapy to human patients, and currently using our stem cells to treat with great success such illnesses as Buerger’s disease, Type II diabetes, liver cirrhosis, paralysis after spinal cord injury, osteoporosis, chronic renal failure, and Alzheimer’s disease, to name a few. Finally, in order to achieve the most effective donor matching of cord blood to patient, our research technicians are busy typing the human leukocyte antigens (HLA) in our biogenetics laboratory.
