Diabetes
Stem cells may help replace missing or damaged beta cells, special cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes involve problems with beta cells
Heart disease
Cardiac regeneration using stem cell therapy is being used to help patients who’ve had heart attacks, patients with heart failure, and even patients with large and small vessel disease. In each case, the goal of treatment is to allow the stem cells to repair and replace damaged tissue in the heart and the blood vessels.
Cancer
Stem cell transplants can be used to treat leukemia and lymphoma, replacing cells that have been damaged by the disease.
Arthritis
Arthritis is an inflammatory condition that affects our joints. Stem cell therapy can help by repairing damaged joint cartilage and by reducing inflammation that occurs in and around the joint.
Kidney disease
Because stem cells have the ability to transform into many other types of cells, including kidney tissue, they’re being used to treat both acute and chronic kidney injury and kidney disease. The goal is to replace damaged cells and cells that have already been lost due to tissue damage.
This list is not exhaustive. Depending on your medical history and your symptoms, Dr. O’Connell might recommend stem cell therapy for other medical conditions, as well.
