What is Stem Cell?
Stem cell; Functionally, they are the main cells that form all organs and tissues in our body that have not yet been transformed in our body. Our stem cells do the whole process until we reach our final shape in our life journey, which we start with a fertilized egg.
These untransformed mother cells are capable of dividing, renewing themselves, transforming into organs or tissues, and multiplying an unlimited number of times. Wherever there is an injury, injury or need for repair in the body, it goes to the required cell type and begins to repair the damage. When our arm is broken, it goes and repairs the fracture, and if we experience brain damage, it will come to the area where the damage is and turn into a brain cell. Stem cells take the leading role in the development of our organs and tissues. As we go to infancy, childhood, youth and old age, the need for stem cells decreases and the stem cells decrease in our body. The recovery process of elderly people who have had an accident or become ill is slower than the younger ones.
Since stem cells carry our genetic codes, it is the most natural treatment method together with PRP. Treatments with these special cells are called stem cell treatments.
Characteristics of Stem Cells?
They can move on their own and settle in a suitable place.
When necessary, they can divide and create more stem cells that can multiply.
They transform into other cell types and ensure the continuity there.
Stem cells can renew themselves.
When we have a problem such as injury to the body, they can go there and start repairing.
How is Stem Cell Obtained?
Stem cells can be obtained from various tissues and organs in the adult human body. The first option to obtain stem cells is from the bone marrow; The procedure takes about 30 minutes and 60-70 cc bone marrow is taken from the patient under hospital conditions. The second option is the liposuction method, by taking some fat from an oily part of the patient’s body, it goes through special processes, and the fat and cells are separated and made ready for use. Stem cells are used in two different ways; Autologous, that is, the use of one’s own cell for himself. These cells can be stored for many years. Allogeneic stem cells are cells taken from someone else, they cannot be stored for a long time and are given to the patient immediately. Most of the stem cell treatments have been like this recently. It is also possible to obtain stem cells from skin, muscle and brain, but it is not preferred much because it is more troublesome, risky and expensive than bone marrow and fat cells.
How do stem cells act in treatment?
After it is injected into the injured or damaged area, it divides for repair and healing, which is its natural duty, and transforms into whatever type of cell is needed (bone, cartilage, hair, tissue, etc.) and stimulates the body for repair. The body repairs itself under the leadership of these cells. If it is injected into the knee area, it will repair the entire knee, not just the cartilage. Its most important role in treatment is to trigger the healing process.

Frequently Asked Questions About Stem Cells
Can a human stem cell be transplanted into another human?
C- Stem cells from suitable donors can be transplanted to compatible people. These are usually between siblings and in the form of mother-to-child transmission. Sibling compatibility is 25%.
2. How long should the stem cells be used after they are taken?
C- Autologous, that is, one’s own cells can be stored for years; but allogeneic, that is, stem cells obtained from someone else, should be given to the patient immediately.
3. Is stem cell removal a long procedure?
C- It takes 30 minutes to get stem cells from the patient’s bone marrow and about 1 hour from fat.
4. What is the difference between stem cells and PRP?
C-PRP process is an easy process to prepare and apply, but the amount of blood taken and separated in PRP is about 10 times less than that of stem cells, and their common point is that there is about 1% stem cells in PRP.
