Stem Cell Treatment For Treating Cerebral Palsy

Stem cells are known as “multifunctional cells” by medical circles for its capacity of constant proliferation and differentiation. In certain condition, they can differentiate into specialized cells with different functions and form various tissues and organs. That is why they are used in treating diseases.
Clinically used stem cells need to go through a professional process, which includes stem cell collection, separation and purification, before they are cultured into specialized cells demanded in the treatment. After that, they were transfused to the patient through intravenous injection or intervention. Due to the self-duplication and differentiation capacity of stem cells, they can form massive new cells to replace the injured cells. Stem cell transplantation is a biological cell therapy, which does not cause side effect to patients.
Treatment principle of stem cell transplantation in treating cerebral palsy: neurons differentiated by transplanted neural stem cells can replace and make up the injured neurons and promote the differentiation of neural stem cells in the patient’s brain tissues, so as to recover the normal growth and development of brain nerve, repair the brain function and improve patient’s life quality.
Why the Earlier the Better for Treating Cerebral Palsy?

The ideal time for cerebral palsy treatment is before half a year old, and the earlier the better. That is because children’s brains have better self-protection function, which has higher tolerance to oxygen. The younger the patient is, the more plastic the brain is. Therefore, active and effective treatment should be done while it is still early, so as to help the brain recover as soon as possible.
