THE WORLD'S LARGEST CLINICAL EXPERIENCE IN FETAL STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION FOR VARIOUS DISEASES AND CONDITIONS

Welcome to Cell Therapy Clinic EmCell
Who we are?
EmCell clinic is a medical center founded in 1994. In all these years, we treated thousands of patients from different countries and performed more than 6,000 transplantations of fetal stem cells. The treatment methods developed and used in the clinic helped to save and prolong our patients' lives, restore different organs and tissues and achieve positive results in treating diseases and conditions that were considered incurable.

EmCell professionals perform fetal stem cell treatment (in vivo), work out indications and contraindications for the treatment of severe acquired and genetic diseases caused by or resulting in cell count reduction. Moreover, our clinic performs treatment for a wide range of conditions, such as aging, climax, infertility, functional disorders of the internal organs and chronic fatigue syndrome.

All the methods of fetal stem cell treatment used at our clinic are its property and protected by the patents of Ukraine, Russia, the USA and other countries. At present, a number of patents on fetal stem cell application for different diseases and conditions treatment are pending in the patent offices of many countries.

BBC documentary called EmCell clinic the "Last Hope Clinic" because we treated and followed-up the most complicated clinical cases from all over the world.

During the years of intensive work, EmCell team won international acclaim in the field of research and clinical application of fetal stem cells. Our achievements were awarded a number of certificates of the international medical congresses and conferences. But the best award for EmCell clinic is successful treatment and recovery of our patients and their words of gratitude.

What Emcell Offers?
Our clinic offers advanced patented methods of stem cell treatment for different diseases and conditions. The fetal stem cells we use are nonspecialized cells able to differentiate (turn) into any other cell types forming different tissues and organs. Fetal stem cells have huge potential for differentiation and proliferation and are not rejected by the recipient's body.

Stem cell therapy has proven to be effective for organs and tissues restoration, and for fight against the incurable and obstinate diseases. We treat patients with various diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, cancer, blood diseases and many others, including rare genetic and hereditary diseases. Among our patients there are also people willing to undergo anti-aging treatment. Stem cell treatment allows for achieving effects that are far beyond the capacity of any other modern method.

For over 17 years, we have performed more than 6,000 transplantations of fetal stem cells to people from many countries, such as the USA, Italy, Germany, Denmark, UAE, Egypt, Russian Federation, Greece and Cyprus, etc. Our stem cell treatments helped to prolong life and improve life quality to thousands of patients including those suffering from the incurable diseases who lost any hope for recovery.

Biotechnology of stem cell isolation and storage
EmCell clinic professionals use modern methods of fetal stem cell isolation and storage. They make fetal cell suspensions, test them and use for clinical and scientific purposes. Creation of cell suspensions and their transplantation at the same facility is a perfect combination as it guarantees the high quality of the cell transplants and allows achieving the best effects.

Biotechnological stages of work with fetal cell suspensions include:

• Timely, safe, and ethically approved collection of high quality fetal material in gynecological departments.
• Preparation of fetal cell cultures and putting them into sterile containers.
• Safety and viability testing of fetal cell suspensions.
• Programmed cryopreservation of cell transplants.
• Safety and viability testing of defrosted fetal cell suspensions before their use.
• Long-term storage of fetal cell suspensions in cryobanks.

Our clinic offers advanced patented methods of stem cell treatment for different diseases and conditions. At present, EmCell Clinic successfully applies its own method of fetal stem cell treatment in:

• diabetes;
• neurological disorders, such as multiple sclerosis;
• amyotrophic lateral sclerosis;
• Alzheimer's and Parkinson’s diseases;
• stroke sequelae;
• spinal cord and traumatic brain injury;
• muscular dystrophies;
• physical and mental delay;
• hematologic and ophthalmologic diseases;
• myocardial and other cardiovascular problems;
• bowel and liver diseases;
• cancer;
• AIDS/HIV;
• joint and connective tissue diseases;
• sexual disorders, etc.

The above is only a short list of diseases and conditions successfully treated with fetal stem cells.
In addition to effective treatment for severe and chronic disorders, EmCell Clinic also offers anti-aging programs. Our research and many years of clinical experience prove high efficacy of fetal stem cell treatment. Its effects are far beyond the capacity of any other modern method.

The fetal stem cells we use are nonspecialized cells able to differentiate (turn) into any other cell types forming different tissues and organs. At the same time, the cells we use are not rejected by the patient’s body. Instead, they engraft well and can function for months and even years without immune suppression. In some cases, administered stem cells function for a patient's lifetime.

Why Health Tourism in the Ukraine?
It is a fairly new phenomenon. These days, people go for exotic vacation destinations not only to relax, but also to enjoy cheap but professional medical procedures like plastic surgery. The Ukraine is not very different from other great European countries as far as medical standards are concerned, so you need not worry about putting your health at risk by undergoing medical treatment in the Ukraine. However, the economics of the country allow more competitive prices than those of many other developed countries. Finally, it is a great vacation spot with lots of fun activities, historical locations and relaxation destinations to enjoy.

Cell suspension bank
EmCell clinic owns modern cell suspension bank equipped with the high-technology equipment: modern Dewar flasks and large cryogenic banks (tanks) containing tens of thousands of fetal cell suspensions.

Patents
Patenting has always been regarded as one of EmCell priorities. We were the first in the world to describe post-transplantation period after fetal stem cell treatment of such diseases as AIDS, HIV-infection, type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus, aplastic anemia, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, degenerative diseases of nervous system, inflammatory and cancer bowel diseases, etc. In 1993, International Patent Application Examination Board in the Hague awarded them level "A", or absolutely pioneer works.

In our patents we mentioned the possibility of treatment of the large number of diseases and conditions caused by or resulting in cell count reduction. Most of all, we take pride in our US and Dutch patents.

We were the first in the world to offer fetal stem cell-based medicinal preparations and mentioned this in our US, Dutch, Russian and Ukrainian patents. We believe that sales of fetal stem cell-based medicinal preparations in specialized pharmacies for domiciliary or hospital treatment will become possible in this century.

This will create the grounds for the development of the new ideology of practical medicine when medical professional will issue prescription for cell composite consisting of HLA-free stem cells. It is they that will help to cope with illness- or age-related cell deficiency.

EmCell clinic welcomes cooperation for the development of this idea.

Scientific activities
We work in the field of the modern branch of science called cell therapy. And we gave our definition of this branch of science. Cell therapy is science about stem cells and their clinical use.

It was in the 1990’s that we realized that this was the science of the method. If disease or condition is caused by or results in cell count reduction, cell therapy can be applied.

Almost all severe acquired and genetic diseases cause destruction of actively functioning cells. Stem cells capable of proliferation (multiplication), differentiation (specialization) and morphogenesis (tissue formation) are effective for tissue and organ function and cell count restoration. Stem cells of fetal origin are the most effective in achieving of the above-mentioned effects as they have the highest proliferative potential.

Since 1991, 7 MMS theses were written by post-graduate students and staff of the Therapy Chair of the National Medical University of Ukraine for whom Prof. A.I. Smikodub was a scientific advisor.

The scope of our scientific interests was wide: it included clinical trials and development of treatment methods for type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus, AIDS, HIV-infection, leukosis, aplastic anemia, primary and secondary thrombocytopenia, cytostatic myelodepression, cancer diseases, degenerative diseases of central nervous system, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, muscular dystrophies, such conditions as climax, infertility, aging, as well as functional disturbances of internal organs, chronic fatigue syndrome, application of fetal stem cells in surgical practice, etc.

We regularly attend international and national scientific events where we present our posters, reports and lectures. So far, our professionals took part in a number of international and national conferences and congresses.

EmCell professionals are authors of more than 300 scientific works published in the national as well as international magazines and congress proceedings.

Our clinic owns the trademark EmCell registered in the USA, Russia and Ukraine.

Safety Issues
We are concerned about the safety of the suspensions we use and want our patients feel safe about the treatments offered. We guarantee the safety, the system of screening has been developed, that includes the following:

Donor is screened for viruses prior to the procedure.
When collected, stem cells are screened for viruses by our laboratory. Defective and non-viable cells are discarded at once.
After this, suspensions are taken to the certified state laboratory that performs final screening and issues safety certificates for each suspension.

Very often people are worried about cancer issues. Unlike embryonic stem cells of early development stage (1-2 weeks old, in vitro) characterized by uncontrolled growth and capable of causing teratomas and other complications, stem cells we use have already passed the first stage of specialization, lost the capacity for uncontrolled growth and "know" what cells or tissues to differentiate into. This means that there is no risk of cancer. In 17 years, there were no post-treatment cancer cases reported by any patient.

Treatments & Prices

EmCell Clinic offers fetal stem cell treatment programs developed by its founder Doctor A. Smikodub and his colleagues. Treatment envisages administration of suspensions containing fetal stem cells responsible for formation of different tissues and organs.

Our fetal stem cell suspensions make the core of our treatment. All the cells undergo triple screening for safety confirmed by the independent state laboratory certificate.

Cell suspensions are prepared in our own laboratory and stored in our own cell bank, which is the most reliable and safest way of working. Treatment procedures fully meet ethical and scientific standards.
 
Combination of different stem cell suspensions targeting specific diseases allows for achieving the best results. Body regulatory systems controlling the administered cells define their specialization pursuant to body needs, which ensures the desired effect.

Clinical effects of stem cell therapy can last for months and even years. Early clinical effects develop within 2-4 weeks after the treatment and are followed by long-term effects lasting from 6-8 months up to 2-3 years. In some cases, administered stem cells function for a patient's lifetime.

What is crucial, we have treated the thousands of patients and none of them had any side effects as a result of transplantation.

The List of Diseases Treated
The major indication for fetal stem cell treatment is reduction of the cells number due to a disease or other factors (radiation, stress, aging etc.), which means that our method of treatment is effective for a wide range of diseases and conditions such as:

• diseases of nervous system: neurodystrophy, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Pick's disease, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, condition after meningoencephalitis, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, condition after neurosurgery, Duchenne's and other muscular dystrophies etc.
• hematological diseases: different types of anemia (primary and secondary), sickle cell disease, leucopenia, agranulocytosis, thrombocytopenia, acute and chronic leucosis, lymphoma, lymphosarcoma etc.
• malignancy and cancer (effective treatment allowing for radical treatment in cases of complications, better endurance of aggressive chemo- and radiotherapy and anti-tumor immunity formation, life expectancy prolongation, higher survival rate)
• diabetes mellitus types 1 and 2
• intestinal diseases: ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, colitis of other etiology
• autoimmune diseases: systemic lupus erythematosa, rheumatoid arthritis, collagenosis etc.
• liver diseases: chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis
• diseases of joints: deforming arthrosis, oligo-, mono- and polyarthritis
• vascular diseases
• genetic diseases
• immune system diseases: AIDS/HIV, immune deficiency of different etiology
• ophthalmological diseases: retinitis pigmentosa, macular dystrophy, retinopathy, both primary and secondary etc.
• chronic infections, sepsis
• sexual diseases
• sexual dysfunction: impotence, fading potency, male and female sterility, pyospermia, acute and chronic infections
• aging and age-related problems: deterioration of internal organs, general health, fatigue, premature aging, skin problems etc.
• climax (female and male)
• stress-related problems: chronic fatigue syndrome, anxiety etc.

The list of diseases above is long, but not exhaustive. None of such lists would cover the whole variety of particular curative effects of the treatment.

The Effects of Stem Cell Treatment
Curative effects of fetal stem cell treatment exceed those achieved by any other modern technology. They encompass all levels of functioning of human body. Among them are:

• Rapid and substantial improvement of volitional, mental and physical activity, stabilization and improvement of mood, positive
• psychophysiological changes, particularly related to attention, memory, and thinking.
• Restoration of suppressed hematopoiesis, normalization of erythrocyte, leukocyte, lymphocyte, and platelet counts.
• Immune competence restoration (quality and quantity aspects) pursuant to body needs - disease- and disease stage-specific:
  . recovery of immune competence in cases of suppressed immunity;
  . temporary suppression of immune activity in acute autoimmune processes;
  . elimination of autoagrression in autoimmune conflicts.
• Stimulation of tissues and organs trophism, tissue quality improvement, anti-aging and a very vivid "functional rejuvenation" effect.
• Normalization of homeostasis, i.e. lipid, carbohydrate, protein, mineral and water metabolism, and hormonal balance.
• Restoration of impaired functions, such as vision, movement, coordination and balance; improvement in kidney, liver, gastrointestinal, pelvic, heart functioning, and normalization of weight, appetite, libido, appearance, self-confidence and mood.

Not all the effects, mentioned above, would evolve in each case. Certain effects will depend on suffering organs and tissues and the type of fetal stem cells used for treatment.

Fetal stem cell treatment is the most effective in case of new-onset diabetes mellitus in children (type 1). It is the only known modern method that can stop autoimmune aggression and prevent development of diabetes mellitus according to a regular scenario.

In cases of aplastic anemia and deep anemia after chemotherapy in cancer and leukemia, in HIV/AIDS etc., fetal stem cell treatment not only saves lives but makes the patients forget about weekly blood transfusions. After one or two courses of the fetal stem cell treatment hematopoiesis recovers allowing for normal life.

The most pronounced, versatile and systemic effects of the fetal stem cell treatment develop in elderly people, while healthy young persons would feel no effect of treatment at all. In the senior's body, fetal stem cells would find and inhabit all the weakened places and repair faded tissues and impaired functions by themselves.

Treatment
Treatment at EmCell clinic is a complex therapy combining fetal stem cell treatment and conventional therapy. These methods are the latest achievements in modern medicine.

 

Fetal stem cell treatment presupposes transplantation of progenitor cells capable to form pools of cells responsible for certain systems and functions of the body: nervous, immune, and muscular systems, hematopoiesis, blood circulation, etc. Fetal stem cell transplantation is minimally invasive procedure presupposing minor intervention into the patient’s body, as it is conducted intravenously drip-feed or subcutaneously.

For our treatment, we use different types of stem cells harvested from various germ layers of the legally aborted embryos of 5–8 weeks of gestation, as these cells are characterized by specific therapeutic effects. Significant results in treatment have been achieved due to combination of different types of stem cells considering the disease process.

Curative Effects of Fetal Stem Cell Treatment
After administration into the patient’s body, fetal stem cells migrate to the site of damage, engraft, multiplicate, undergo specialization regulated by the new host (recipient), substitute lost or damaged cells, and restore the cell mass and impaired body functions. Moreover, stem cells we use produce necessary biologically active substances (e.g. hematopoietic growth factors, interleukins, nerve growth factor, tumour necrosis factor, angiogenic and neurotrophic factors etc.). Unlike adult stem cells, fetal cells we use are not rejected by the recipient due to the late expression of histocompatibility antigen.

Main effects observed in patients after fetal stem cell transplantation encompass all levels of organization and functioning of human body, and are arranged in a systemic way. We distinguished the following major curative effects of fetal stem cell transplantation:

   1. Rapid and substantial improvement of volitional, mental and physical activities of patients, stabilization and improvement of mood, positive psychophysiological changes, particularly in such areas as attention, memory, and thinking.
   2. Restoration of suppressed hematopoiesis (normalization of erythrocyte, leukocyte, lymphocyte, and thrombocyte counts).
   3. Restoration of the immune system competence depending on what is beneficial for the patient in his/her current condition, or stage of the disease.
   4. Stimulation of trophic functions in tissues and organs, improvement in cases of deteriorated tissues, impaired functions, processes of aging, and a very vivid effect of "functional rejuvenation".
   5. Normalization of homeostasis (maintenance of the constant internal environement, in particular glycemia, lipidemia, creatinemia, mineral and water metabolism, blood pressure, improvement of blood circulation, etc.).

Curative effects of fetal stem cell treatment are far beyond the possibilities of any other modern method.

However, we should understand that fetal stem cell treatment is not a magic stick and it cannot create a giant from a dwarf. But it helps achieving realistic tasks, such as lost functions restoration, disease progression inhibition and aging delay, compensates or substitutes the defects caused by different diseases, and greatly improves the quality of life.

List of contraindications for stem cell therapy is rather limited. No negative side effects were observed after the treatment. Sterility and safety of fetal stem cell suspensions are ensured by application of the universal testing methods and safety precautions applicable in the work with biological material.

EmCell clinic performs fetal stem cell treatment in accordance with ethic principles and scientific standards. We are proud to steer this steady course.

We have the most extensive experience of fetal stem cell treatment in the world. Our patients receive full range of diagnostics and clinical treatment as well as constant medical counselling after the treatment.

Testimonials

Stroke: Patient D. Ch.
The patient's D. (60 years old) primary problem was cognitive decline with history of psychosis, depression, anxiety and stroke. She reported short-term memory problems and language issues. She underwent medication therapy that resulted only in slight improvements.

Just after return home after the stem cell treatment we received the following letter:

Dear EmCell team,
We had a good flight back. We loved the way you people work. You all seem to care more about who you are helping and not about the money. You people also give 100% and all work like a family. The care was great.

My wife seems to talk a little more than before; she seems more alert to her surroundings. She is also more in peace with herself. Before she saw herself going backwards, but now she knows there is hope.

Thanks for all your help,
D. and D.Ch.
 
One week after the stem cell treatment D.'s husband wrote us:

Hi everyone,
My wife's short term memory is getting better. I said something's yesterday and she said something the day after about it. Also I asked her if she would clean our bathroom, and she did it without instruction. That's a big change. Things look better each day.

Thanks for everything,
D. & D.

One month after the stem cell treatment we received the following message:

Dear Sirs,

My wife has changed a lot. She speaks better; she is more like her old self. Her memory has improved. Each day there are more changes.

Thanks,
D.Ch.

Two months after the stem cell treatment there were even more positive changes in D.'s condition:

Hello everyone,

My wife and I were in a bad motorcycle accident June 13. We both had a lot off road rash and bruises, but no broken bones. Diane's wounds have healed faster than mine. Here is a list of changes:

• D. can talk without looking for the next word.
• Her memory is sometimes better than mine.
• She cleans around house with no instructions.
• She does laundry.
• She can make her own lunches.

She also has been using the phone last week; she called me at work and talked to a co-worker we have known for 17 years.
People that have known us for some time can't believe the change.

Best regards,
D.Ch.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy: patient M.
Patient M., born in 1979, has a long history of muscular dystrophy. He underwent three courses of stem cell treatment in EmCell Clinic, and this treatment was very effective.

 

Two months after the third course of the stem cell therapy, patient M. reported the following:

"I am writing 2 months after the treatment to inform you that my health is getting better, and there are some signs that prove that I am recovering. I walk by myself for approximately 2 km, slowly, but without being helped by another person, I feel a bit more strength when I raise from the place I sit (I feel this strength without being visible for somebody else). I follow a daily recovery program based on walking, medical physical exercise and I had B1, B6, B12 injections last week. I hope the future news will be better so that you and I be glad together.

Best regards,
M."

Three months after the treatment, patient M. wrote:

"I have continued the recovery program. After the treatment, my health condition continued to have a positive progress, especially with regard to walking, where I sense more strength. When I get up, there are minor reactions based on a slight elasticity. I shall perform the neurological check-up at the end of the summer (approximately 6 months after the treatment).

Best regards,
M."

Five months after the treatment the patient wrote us the following:

"Hello!

5 months have passed since the treatment at your clinic and I present a brief report of my health in the present.

The first months after the treatment, I have noticed visible signs of increasing of the muscular force, these signs were most noticeable when I walked. I could also notice a better elasticity of the articulations during the movement. At the beginning of August I had a period of time when I felt the muscles as being tired, even a slight exhaustion (when I rise from the place I sit). The sensation lasted approximately one week and after that I have turned back to the previous status.

In the present the physical state is obviously much better than after the treatment. I noticed no positive changes when I climb the stairs.

I have continued my recovery program (exercises, walking) and as the autumn starts, I would like to help my body, if you agree, by taking a series of vitamins (injections). The vitamins are the following B1, B6, B12.

I would be glad if you tell me how you think I should administrate the following period of time.

Sincerely yours,
M."

Eight months after the stem cell therapy the patient wrote:

"Hello!
After almost 8 months from the treatment in your clinic, I have performed a neurological exam where the improvement of my health could be noticeable, especially regarding the elasticity of the movements. I mention that I have started a daily kineto-terapheutical program for a month and that my body reacts positively. At the end of November I will start the series of injectable vitamins, too (B1, B2, B6, B12).

Best regards,
M."

Embryonic Cell Suspensions in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Olexander I. Smikodub

 

Cell Therapy Clinic of National Medical University of Ukraine and Embryonic Tissues Center EmCell

Under observation were 78 DMD patients aged 3-18. Diagnosis was confirmed by the genetic analysis. Patients were administered mesenchymal, ectodermal, and endodermal stem cells isolated from germ layers of 4-8 weeks old cadaverous embryos’ systems and organs; amounts administered - 0,5-3 ml, cell count- 0,1-100x105/ml. In the course of the first two months after the treatment, strength of different muscle groups increased by 100-700% and was maintained for 8-15 months. Besides, reported was also ROM increase, within the limits of the patient’s stage: stage II patients reported improved gait quality, ability to step on the heel and walk the stairs, raise from the floor with more confidence, and endure bigger loads during the day. Observed were also decreased pseudohypertrophy and strain of forearms and calves, contractures of knee and ankle joints, subsidence of myocardiopathy manifestations and respiratory insufficiency, especially in stage IVa-IVb patients. DMD patients require continuous treatment (at least, once every 6-8 months) aimed at aversion of muscular atrophy progression. Termination of the treatment results in further progression of the disease and limitation of physical activity. Transplantation of embryonic stem cells terminates DMD progression, notwithstanding the stage of the process, and results in marked improvements.
