WHICH DISEASES ARE STEM CELLS USED TO TREAT?

What Diseases Are Hematopoietic Stem Cells Used to Treat?

Hematopoietic stem cell therapy can be used to treat many blood disorders, such as childhood leukemias, bone marrow diseases, and
hereditary blood disorders, by transplanting hematopoietic stem cells obtained from the patient themselves or from a compatible/semi-compatible donor into the patient. Stem cell therapy is often used in the treatment process of the following diseases, in accordance with the guidelines of the Ministry of Health.

• 1) Bone Marrow Cancers
• 2) Lymphoma
• 3) Hodgkin Lymphoma
• 4) Leukemia
• 5) Anemia
• 6) Mediterranean Anemia
• 7) Plasma Cell Disorders
• 8) Bone Marrow Failure
• 9) Multiple Myeloma
• 10) Inherited and Congenital Blood Disorders
• 11) Diseases Associated with Immunodeficiency
• 12) Inherited Metabolic Disorders

What Diseases Are Mesenchymal Stem Cells Used to Treat?

In light of new developments in the field of stem cells every day, mesenchymal stem cell therapy can be used to treat many diseases. It has become a method that can be used in the treatment of many patients of appropriate age and physical characteristics, especially in the fields of orthopedics, neurology, ophthalmology, and traumatology.
Scientific research has shown that mesenchymal stem cells can be used to treat diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, type 1–2 diabetes, ALS, MS, spinal cord injuries, and cerebral vascular occlusion.

Scientific research has shown significant advances in the use of stem cells for the treatment of many neurological diseases, such as progressive diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, type 1–2 diabetes, ALS, and MS, as well as stroke caused by spinal cord injuries and cerebral vascular occlusion. Thanks to the many newly discovered properties of mesenchymal stem cells, stem cell treatments are expected to be applied to these diseases in the near future.
In addition, the use of mesenchymal stem cells is now widely practiced following the development of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) seen after tissue and organ transplants.
In light of the rapidly advancing scientific and technological research, the content of the answers to the questions “What is stem cell therapy?” and “In which diseases is stem cell therapy effective?” is increasing day by day.
