In 2001, a new field of research in health science emerged when Patricia Zuk Ph.D., Marc Hedrick, M.D. and others published a paper in Tissue Engineering<\/em> discussing their discovery that adult stem cells (mesenchymal stem cells, MSCs) that repair diseased and damaged tissues and organs reside along with other regenerative cells in our fat (adipose tissue).[1]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Since that publication over 11,000 papers have been published on the subject of adipose-derived stem and regenerative cells (ADRCs). [2]<\/a> [3]<\/a> [4]<\/a><\/sup> An important aspect of that research has been the potential benefit in symptoms, function and quality of life that ADRCs can have for patients with Diabetes Mellitus (DM).<\/p>\n

Understanding Diabetes<\/h3>\n

The first recognizable reports of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus<\/strong>\u2014a condition presenting in children or young adults that can have life threatening consequences\u2014appeared towards the end of the 19th century.\u00a0Interestingly, it was not until the 1970s that T1DM was recognized as an autoimmune disease. Type 1 diabetes is a chronic health condition in which one\u2019s pancreas, a gland that lies in the abdomen behind the stomach, is deficient in producing enough of the hormone insulin. Insulin drives glucose (sugar) into the cells and modulates fat metabolism.<\/p>\n

The pancreas contains clusters of cells that produce hormones. Alpha cells make the hormone glucagon<\/em>, which raises the glucose level in the blood. Beta cells make the hormone insulin<\/em>, which lowers the glucose level. In Type 1 diabetes, the body\u2019s immune system mistakenly destroys the beta cells. This causes the pancreas to lose the ability to make<\/p>\n

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM)<\/strong> is a chronic condition in which one\u2019s body develops resistance to insulin, and blood sugar levels become very high as a result. T2DM is also now widely recognized to have an autoimmune component.[5]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

ADRCs and Diabetes<\/h3>\n

ADRCs are akin to having a highly personalized biologic \u201cfire, rescue and repair\u201d crew. They wait quietly for a sign of trouble\u2014inflammation\u2014and home to that site to do their jobs. The scientists researching the cell types contained in the ADRC population have demonstrated experimentally (in small and large animals) as well as in human clinical studies that these cells are safe and have been effective in improving the function of the beta cells in the pancreas responsible for insulin secretion. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have also been reported to rebalance the immune system (immune-modulation) after an abnormal immune response more effectively than stem cells from the bone[6]<\/a> [7]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Spiral of Degeneration<\/h3>\n

Inflammation in the pancreas can be triggered by hereditary factors, a trauma, infection, environmental toxins, lifestyle choices (e.g. alcohol abuse in adults), stress or a combination of those bad actors.[8]<\/a><\/sup> Initially, acute inflammation is essential for repairing the body, and is usually short-lived, disappearing once the healing process has taken place. There is another type of inflammatory response, sometimes called\u00a0chronic or systemic inflammation, which becomes problematic.[9]<\/a><\/sup> Systemic inflammation is a common factor in diseases of aging. This covers a broad spectrum of severe, debilitating and, sometimes, life-threatening conditions including diabetes.[10]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Chronic inflammation begins a vicious detrimental process. It recruits the immune system, which exists to fight infections and other disease processes as well as to guard the body and assist healing. When the immune system senses an enemy, troops of molecules called \u201ccytokines\u201d are sent out to fight it off.\u00a0 When this process goes out of control, it is called an inflammatory-immune response.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>An inflammatory-immune response is tantamount to having a backseat driver who is chronically overreacting while \u201chelping\u201d you drive your car. Although the specific metabolic pathways are different for T1DM and T2DM, they both end up promoting die-off of pancreatic beta cells.[11]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0We call this the Spiral of Degeneration.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Spiral is a useful framework for exploring the key factors at play in chronic diseases such as diabetes, though each step of degeneration in the Spiral may vary in terms of severity and sequence from person to person. Likewise, as the factors in the Spiral progressively worsen in diabetes sufferers, end organ damage can also vary. Diabetes is known to cause degeneration across many areas of the body from the brain and eyes to the heart, kidneys, skin, nerves and more.<\/p>\n

\"Organs<\/p>\n

Process of Repair<\/h3>\n

Through a mechanism of cell-to cell communication called paracrine signaling, ADRCs mobilize nearby cells to work more efficiently. To continue with the \u2018fire, rescue and repair crew\u2019 analogy, ADRCs recruit inactive stem cells in the region, getting them back on the job and doing their part.<\/p>\n

\"\"They first decrease inflammation and the overactive immune responses. Once the backseat driving diminishes, the stem and regenerative cells increase circulation with new blood vessel growth, prevent further accelerated cell death, decrease scar size and regenerate healthy tissue and nerves. This is how the body naturally heals itself\u2013 sometimes additional stem cells are needed as reinforcements. \u00a0We call this the Process of Repair.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>In T1DM, this process can lead to regeneration of islet cells as well as the repair of nerves that have been damaged leading to diabetic neuropathy.<\/p>\n

AMBROSE Cell Therapy for Diabetes<\/h3>\n

AMBROSE Cell Therapy represents a minimally invasive option to improve symptoms, function and quality of life for patients with diabetes.<\/p>\n

The AMBROSE treatment approach includes intravenous infusion of ADRCs to address the pancreas through the homing mechanism of the cells as well as the systemic inflammation and immune dysregulation that has been implicated in this condition.<\/p>\n

Through minimally invasive adult stem cell therapy, \u00a0the body\u2019s own natural healing capabilities are put to work for each patient.<\/p>

To understand what stem cells are capable of first requires an understanding of a concept known as The Cycle of Disease. Although not all chronic disease is created equal with the same components, many share common denominators such as early inflammation, immune response, loss of blood supply, premature cell\/tissue death and resultant scarring.<\/p>

The treatment protocols of Okyanos are based on a thorough understanding of the multiple factors involved in each of the disease processes we treat. Stem cells have the unique advantage that they are able to address multiple aspects of the Cycle of Disease in a single treatment. Adult stem cells could be thought of as small physicians in the way that they go to work healing and repairing the body on a daily basis. Stem cells exist throughout our bodies and are responsible for healing our bumps and bruises and helping us recover from every day wear-and-tear.<\/p>

Restorative adult stem cells can be separated from your fat tissue and delivered to specific areas of the body in need of special attention. Because they have the capacity to detect issues\u00a0in the body which are causing pain or dysfunction, stem cells are able to respond and provide the correct \u201ctools\u201d needed for healing.[\/vc_column_text][mk_divider style=\"shadow_line\" margin_top=\"30\" margin_bottom=\"70\"][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1\/6\"][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=\"1\/6\"][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\"2\/3\"][mk_fancy_title color=\"#353535\" size=\"28\" force_font_size=\"true\" size_tablet=\"20\" size_phone=\"26\" font_weight=\"400\" txt_transform=\"capitalize\" letter_spacing=\"1\" font_family=\"none\" align=\"center\"]What sets Ambrose apart from other cell therapies?[\/mk_fancy_title][vc_column_text align=\"center\" css=\".vc_custom_1541185650115{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}\"]<\/p>

Our state-of-the-art facility is located in a government-regulated environment with routine oversight from regulators to ensure safety, and includes a Class C operating theater and Philips bi-plane cath lab for treating patients with cardiovascular disease and issues.
