| Adult stem cells |
|
Your body, especially your skin,
contains cells whose future form has not yet been determined; these
cells can be programmed by surrounding tissue to become just about
any kind of cell. These cells are called adult stem cells.

Adult stem cells rejuvenate or repair the body by replacing
defective cells. For example, when an injury occurs, adult stem cells
ensure that wounds heal and that the organ or cell cluster can reassume
its original function.
Embryonic stem cells, or pluripotent cells, which, starting in the
embryonic stage, develop into differentiated cells and organs in the
growing individual, are no longer found in the adult human organism.
In our skin, each of us possesses a warehouse of replacement parts,
in the form of adult stem cells, which the body can rely on to overcome
defects.
TICEBA will obtain a sample of your skin, determine the proportion
of stem cells in the sample using a patented medical procedure, as
well as the handle and store the stem cells. This form of preventive
health care takes full advantage of the future possibilities of regenerative
medicine. |
