| Skin & Stem Cells |
|
Skin contains valuable adult
stem cells. Healthy, individually stored adult stem cells taken from
the skin are ideal sources for innovative, regenerative therapies
that will target a wide range of illnesses, heretofore untreatable.

According to the latest research findings, adult
stem cells taken from the skin will be used in a multitude of
stem cell transplants and in the production of tissues from adult
stem cells by means of Tissue
Engineering.
Stem cells can be obtained from the skin even in very advanced age
and can be stored for a lifetime for future medical applications.
Stem cells taken from skin tissue have several advantages over those
taken from bone marrow, umbilical cord blood, or peripheral blood,
the most frequent sources of transplanted stem cells to date:
|
| • |
The skin contains a large number of valuable
stem cells. |
| • |
The skin is easier to access than other bodily
organs. |
| • |
Sampling a small amount of skin
tissue is simple and risk-free. |
| • |
Sampling is unproblematic and can be undertaken
even in very advanced age. |
