Every day, more and more countries around the world are utilizing innovative stem cell therapies, and research and applications in this field are growing globally; as a result, the Stem Cells Transplant Institute offers high-quality regenerative medicine to the United States, Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean.
For several years now, Costa Rica has been using stem cells to treat various diseases, with very promising results in osteoarthritis, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, joint injuries, and other conditions.
The Stem Cells Transplant Institute aims to expand its services to patients in Tijuana who are seeking high-quality regenerative medicine.
Why hold it in Costa Rica and not in Tijuana?
Costa Rica offers many advantages in terms of cost, high-quality services, safety, the use of cutting-edge technology, and, above all, an exceptional healthcare system that has consistently ranked it above many industrialized countries, including Canada and the United States.
In addition, Costa Rica is a country with numerous tourist attractions and a peaceful, safe natural environment that is ideal for excellent recovery and rest following treatment.
The Stem Cells Transplant Institute, located in San José, Costa Rica, is led by Dr. Leslie Mesén, a pioneer in the use of stem cell-based therapies in Costa Rica and Central America. The Stem Cells Transplant Institute is a reliable, safe, and reputable institution that offers high-quality medical services. Dr. Mesén is certified by the American Academy of Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine and serves as the director of the ISSCA (International Society for Stem Cell Application) for Central America and the Caribbean.
At our clinic, we offer high-quality stem cell therapies, excellent care, and a highly trained and compassionate staff.
What is regenerative medicine?
The human body’s ability to heal itself is known as regeneration. Regenerative medicine is an innovative, interdisciplinary field that aims to use stem cells and human growth factors to repair and regenerate cells in tissues or organs that have suffered structural or functional damage.
How do stem cells work?
Cells can divide through two mechanisms:
How are stem cells obtained and processed?
Stem cells are obtained from a donor sample—whether adipose tissue, bone marrow, or umbilical cord—and undergo a washing and filtration process in the laboratory to remove unwanted cells and tissue debris using specialized devices and reagents in accordance with internationally validated protocols.¹
In addition, stem cells can be isolated in vitro from a small tissue sample taken from a donor and stimulated to differentiate into the specific cell type needed, after which they can be transplanted back into the same person from whom they were obtained or into another individual.¹
Among the most innovative techniques is the isolation of stem cells from Wharton’s jelly (a component of the human umbilical cord), which can also be cultured and expanded to obtain high concentrations of stem cells for the treatment of various diseases.
Given this, it is very important that patients ensure they undergo procedures at facilities that are accredited, certified, and have experience in regenerative therapy.
How are cells transplanted?
Stem cells can be administered or transplanted into the body in various ways: intravenously, intrathecally, intralesionally, subcutaneously, or via nebulization.
