Spinal Muscular Atrophy Treatment in Beike Biotechnology
About the clinic
Stem cell therapy for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) at Shenzhen Beike Biotechnology in Shenzhen, China, provides a regenerative approach using umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells. The clinic holds international accreditations from AABB and the College of American Pathologists (CAP), ensuring high standards for cell processing and safety. Data from the clinic’s patient registry shows that 94% of patients with SMA saw improvements in limb muscle strength following treatment.
Stem cell therapy protocol
The clinic uses a proprietary protocol involving 120–400 million stem cells derived from umbilical cord blood and tissue. Patients receive between 4 and 8 minimally invasive injections during their stay. These cells are delivered through intravenous (IV) and intrathecal injections, which target the spinal fluid. The treatment lasts between 15 and 23 days to allow for proper administration and monitoring.
Rehabilitation and supportive care
Treatment includes daily physical therapy to help the body integrate the new cells. The medical team uses several supportive methods to improve outcomes for patients with SMA:
- Daily physiotherapy. Exercises focus on maintaining mobility and improving muscle function.
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy. This method uses increased oxygen levels to support cellular repair.
- Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). A non-invasive procedure that stimulates nerve cells in the brain.
- Aquatherapy. Water-based exercises reduce strain on the joints during physical activity.
- Acupuncture and occupational therapy. These therapies help patients manage daily tasks and improve nerve health.
Clinic expertise and safety
Shenzhen Beike Biotechnology has treated 33,000+ patients from over 60 countries. The facility operates 20+ laboratories built to GMP standards. A traceability system with 900+ quality checkpoints tracks every cell sample from donation to injection. Their research is documented in 50+ peer-reviewed papers, including publications in the journal Nature. Outcomes from an 18-patient registry indicate that 95% of patients reported an improved quality of life after finishing the program.

Beike Biotechnology: more details about the clinic
Founded in 2005, **Shenzhen Beike Biotechnology** is a specialized research organization in Shenzhen, China. The center focuses on adult stem cell research and clinical translation. It manages the entire therapeutic process—from donor selection and cell processing to delivery for clinical use.
National and International Recognitions
The company holds several international quality management certifications:
- ISO 9001 and ISO 17025 certificates
- ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 certificates
- Accreditation from the College of American Pathologists (CAP)
- FDA Drug Master File recognition
Its cell bank meets GMP and AABB standards. In 2011, the Jiangsu Beike inspection center received CNAS accreditation. This made it the first adult stem cell processing laboratory in China to earn this status. Beike is also a member of the **International Society for Cell Therapy (ISCT)**.
Patient Statistics and Research Achievements
The center has treated over 33,500 patients from more than 60 countries. As a research-driven institution, it has published nearly 50 peer-reviewed papers in journals like **Nature**. The company participates in over 60 government projects, including six at the state level. This research directly shapes their stem cell processing and treatment protocols.
Specialized Stem Cell Programs
Beike develops specialized protocols for neurological, neuromuscular, and degenerative conditions. Each treatment cycle combines stem cell transplantation with supportive therapies. The medical team includes specialists such as Dr. Ice, who oversees individualized treatment planning.
Cerebral Palsy Care
The center treats cerebral palsy using a structured two-week protocol. This program pairs stem cell therapy with intensive daily rehabilitation. According to follow-up data from 253 patients:
- 88% reported physical improvement
- 90% reported improved quality of life
- 87% expressed satisfaction with the treatment outcome
Neuromuscular Disorders
The clinic provides specialized care for Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy. Specialists use **mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)** through various administration routes. Registry data shows 85% of these patients reported quality of life improvements. For Spinal Muscular Atrophy, 94% reported improved limb muscle strength.
Integrated Rehabilitation
Every stem cell treatment cycle includes daily multi-modal rehabilitation. These sessions create the right environment for transplanted cells to function. The center offers several supportive therapies:
- Physiotherapy and aquatherapy
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy
- Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)
- Occupational therapy and acupuncture
Acupuncture helps transmit signals to the brain and spinal cord. This supports pain management and improves nervous system response during recovery.
Verification and Safety Protocols
The center uses a proprietary traceability system for every cell package. This system includes over **900 quality checkpoints**. Lab technicians perform quality checks twice, with one round from an independent laboratory. If a dose fails any checkpoint, it is not released for clinical use.
Every product label features a unique traceability code. Patients and doctors can enter this code into an online verification system. They can then view batch information, quality testing results, and release status in real time. This transparent workflow confirms the safety and origin of every dose.
Services for International Patients
Beike offers coordinated support for patients traveling from outside China. Representatives guide international visitors through each stage of the medical assessment. The center arranges private transportation and provides private room accommodations. Meals are delivered directly to the patient's room during their stay.
Care continues after patients return home through a one-year follow-up program. The medical team sends regular forms via email to track progress. Patients also receive a customized home program to continue supporting the transplanted stem cells.
