Examples of Diseases Successfully Treated With Stem Cells
While Célle menstrual stem cells have not to date been used in human clinical
therapies, the Célle menstrual stem cell demonstrates great promise
for potential future therapeutic applications based on preliminary research
and pre-clinical study. There are several similarities between the Célle
menstrual blood stem cells and other adult stem cells such as bone marrow mesenchymal
stem cells that do have a well-established history of success in clinical therapies
for a broad range of diseases.
Current clinical uses of umbilical, placental and other adult stem cells include
the successful treatment of the following diseases:
- Alzheimer's
- Autism
- Autoimmune diseases
- Anemias
- Blood and Liver Disease
- Bone and cartilage deformities
- Brain tumors
- Burns
- Cancer (brain, breast, ovarian, renal cell, melanoma, leukemia, and other
types)
- Cartilage and Bone Diseases
- Cerebral palsy
- Corneal scaring
- Crone's disease
- Diabetes
- Gene Therapy
- Heart disease
- Immunodeficiencies
- Repair of cardiac tissue after heart attack (please see separate section,

- Leukemias
- Lymphomas
- Melanoma
- Multiple sclerosis
- Multiple myelomas
- Muscular dystrophy
- Neural blastoma
- Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma
- Osteoarthritis
- Ovarian Cancer
- Paralysis
- Parkinson's Disease
- Renal Cell Carcinoma
- Retinoblastoma
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Scleroderma
- Scleromixadema
- Spinal chord damage
- Solid Tumors
