Muscular Dystrophy refers to a number of diseases that are inherited and manifest themselves through gradual muscular deterioration, posing major difficulties for people. Stem cell therapy is a way of handling the symptoms and leading to a better quality of life. The reason muscular dystrophy patients can benefit from stem cells is that their muscles are degenerating while stem cells are self-renewable and can replace damaged vulnerable muscles keeping them healthy and active.

Stem cells to treat Muscular Dystrophy

Stem cells are pivotal to the MD treatment process, especially MSCs because of their roles in the regeneration of muscles, diminishing inflammation, and enhancing muscle functionality. When administrated these cells can proliferate and move towards the affected muscles in order to replace the damaged or missing muscle cells. The prospects of stem cell therapy for Muscular Dystrophy are to mitigate symptoms of the disease, stabilize or even reverse the MOCA progression, increase the strength of muscles, and improve the mobility of patients with MD.
