Huntington's disease treatment with stem cell therapy

Huntington's disease treatment with stem cell therapy is believed to be one of the most promising methods that help prevent neuron death and replace lost cells. Stem cells can become any kind of cell inside the human organism, so they can effectively replace dead neurons and help renew many cognitive and movement functions. However, confirming the diagnosis and evaluating the patient's condition is essential before starting treatment sessions. This therapy method requires stem cells, which can be obtained in a few ways. Still, using inappropriate material might result in an immune response and cause additional issues. The easiest way to get stem cells is by performing so-called adipose stem cell collection. First, a doctor collects fat with small liposuction, extracts stem cells from the fat, and then increases their number in the lab. After that, stem cells deliver back to the patient's organism. Also, in most cases, a specific stimulation therapy might be conducted to increase the number of adipose stem cells that medical practitioners will obtain after the procedure. The patient must revisit the hospital for some time after the treatment to evaluate the therapy results and get the necessary care and attention.
