Hello.

I am searching for research\study\information about stem cell injections to the blood (circulatory system).
I need to know what happens then. Will they creat tumors? will the just escape? will they go to a body stem cells?

The stem cells that injected need to be from the same organism.Different types of cells (Multipotent, Pluripotent, maybe Totipotent also)
I tried to search for information for a while, hope for help here.

Big thanks!

Adding foreign cells into the bloodstream will illicit an immune response against the foreign object, no?

not foreign cells, like I wrote "The stem cells that injected need to be from the same organism"

If we injected stem cells into the bloodstream, I think they'd end up clotting the bloodstream.

I really want to find article or research. Cause I read about using steam cells to bring molecules (drugs) to some regions in a body, and I think it was through the bloodstream.
Furthermore there are much bigger cells in bloodstream, I dont see a reason to clotting..

thx.

This is what you need.

There is a lot of misinformation in this thread.

I don't think stem cells are the proper vehicle to bringing drugs to places that are difficult to reach, such as the brain. In fact, I don't think it's proper procedure to inject whole cells into one's bloodstream, since it could lead to potential infections.

It's just blood cells...


Maybe you're right, but I hope to find some articles that prove this.

Ignore this post, it's spam.

I have attached a protocol on how stem cells are used.
