Myasthenia gravis treatment with stem cell therapy

Stem cell therapy treats various autoimmune diseases, especially those related to neurodegenerative processes. Doctors use autologous stem cell therapy to decrease the severity of symptoms for refractory cases of myasthenia gravis (they include patients who didn’t respond to any other treatment method). Stem cells have a unique ability to replace damaged cells, including nerve tissues. This helps to regain damage caused by myasthenia and its circulating antibodies. Before starting the stem cell therapy, the patient must undergo a specific set of preparations. At first, medical practitioners provide a set of procedures helping to increase the overall number of stem cells inside the patient’s body. Next, they conduct liposuction and obtain the patient’s native stem cells from the fat. After that, medical practitioners place these stem cells in favorable conditions and artificially increase their number. Finally, they deliver all created stem cells back to the body. When ending up in the body, stem cells reach organs that require additional repair or need to be rebuilt and help the organism to finish this process effectively.
