Mesenchymal stem cell therapy in EmCell Cell Therapy Center
About the clinic
Fetal stem cell therapy at EmCell Cell Therapy Center in Kyiv, Ukraine, is a regenerative treatment used for conditions like autism, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders. The clinic is the world's first facility dedicated to fetal stem cell therapy and holds a license from the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. Patients benefit from a patented method that uses progenitor cells to help repair damaged tissues and regulate the immune system.
Advanced Stem Cell Protocols
EmCell uses fetal stem cells and progenitor cells, such as neuronal progenitor cells, which have high potential for growth. These cells do not carry the risk of uncontrolled growth or cancer. The treatment program typically lasts 2 to 3 days. Doctors administer the cells through intravenous or subcutaneous injections, or intrathecal injections for advanced cases. Before the procedure, patients undergo a full checkup including ultrasound, ECG, and lab tests to tailor the treatment to their needs.
Expert Medical Team
The clinic was founded by Professor O. Smikodub, who performed the first registered fetal stem cell treatment in 1991. Today, the medical team includes specialists like Dr. Mariia Klunnyk, Dr. Andriy Sinelnyk, and Dr. Iryna Matiyaschuk. These experts have co-authored numerous peer-reviewed studies on regenerative medicine. Their work focuses on applying fetal stem cell protocols to treat complex diseases such as multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, and aplastic anemia.
Safety and Quality Standards
The facility operates a biotechnological laboratory that complies with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards. It also features an ISO 15189-accredited clinical-diagnostic laboratory. The clinic maintains a cryobank with 20,000+ live fetal stem cell samples. Every sample undergoes PCR testing to check for viral and bacterial pathogens. These safety measures help ensure that the stem cell products meet high quality requirements before use.
Patient Support and Recovery
Regenerative effects from the therapy develop slowly over several weeks or months. Each treatment course includes a physiotherapy session to support the healing process. After the procedure, a follow-up manager and the treating physician monitor the patient's progress through online consultations. To help with travel, the clinic provides free transfers from Warsaw or Chisinau to Kyiv, along with daily hotel-clinic shuttles and interpreter support.
