The application of mesenchymal stem cells with our therapies can regenerate new cells, repopulate the damaged areas impacted by muscular dystrophy, and help the body recover faster.
Innovative Muscular Dystrophy Treatment Using Stem Cells
If you or someone you know is living with Muscular Dystrophy, it’s better not to delay and seek medical attention to manage the symptoms before the condition progresses further. Muscular dystrophy can severely impact your quality of life by causing a decline in muscle mass and degeneration of skeletal muscles. The damage to the muscle protein and tissues causes weakness and loss of balance and mobility. Stem cell therapy for muscular dystrophy offers hope to the patients as mesenchymal stem cells, particularly collected from human umbilical cord tissue (Wharton’s Jelly), have regenerative capabilities that aid in transforming and restoring damaged muscle fiber cells and tissues.

Know More About Muscular dystrophy
Get to learn in detail about muscular dystrophy, its symptoms, causes, treatment, benefits, and cost of stem cell treatment at our institute in Mexico.
Muscular dystrophy is a group of inherited genetic disorders that leads to loss of muscle mass, weakening its strength and impacting mobility in patients. In this condition, the muscles progressively weaken and damage muscle fiber tissues and cells due to the lack of a muscle protein called dystrophin.
Muscular dystrophy has been classified into 9 types by the doctors.
Duchenne
Myotonic
Limb-girdle
Facioscapulohumeral
Becker
Oculopharyngeal
Congenital
Emery-Dreifuss
Distal
Initially, a specific part of the body weakens or wastes away as due to muscular dystrophy, the body stops making muscle protein which is responsible for building muscles and keeping them strong. This is an irreversible genetic disorder that is usually noticeable in affected children in the first few years of life. Gradually, over the years, the children become weaker and lose the ability to walk, and carry objects. The disease also starts affecting the muscles of the heart and lungs causing serious cardiac and respiratory problems.
Genetic abnormalities lead to muscular dystrophy in children and one of the most prominent symptoms is muscle weakness. The main signs that indicate that your child is suffering from muscular dystrophy are –
Difficulty in walking and standing
Difficulty while sitting or rising from a lying position
Trouble in breathing
Weakness in hip, legs, and pelvis muscles
Clumsiness or physical weakness
Muscle stiffness and cramps
Heart palpitations
Sleeplessness or excessive sleeping
Slurred Speech
Difficulty eating and swallowing
Behavioral problems
Droopy eyelids
Cognitive impairment
There are several factors responsible for the development of muscular dystrophy (MD) condition in children. These include –
Recessive inheritance – Inheriting muscular dystrophy is possible when a child inherits mutated genes of both of the parents that cause MD.
Dominant inheritance – In this case, the affected child inherits a mutated gene from either of the parents and develops MD.
Sex-linked inheritance or X-linked inheritance – Genetically males, with one X and one Y chromosome, risk X-linked conditions from mutations on their single X chromosome, while genetically females, with two X chromosomes, may have milder symptoms.
Lifestyle risk factors – Protein deficiency, underweight, and poor lung function can also lead to muscular dystrophy in children.
Doctors suggest various diagnostic tests to confirm a child is suffering from muscular dystrophy. An enzyme test is conducted where Creatine phosphokinase (CPK) levels are evaluated to understand whether there have been any traumatic injuries. Genetic testing is done to confirm gene mutation. Also, in some cases, heart and lung functions are monitored and a muscle biopsy is performed to see whether MD or any other muscle condition impacts the patient.
Stem cell therapy using umbilical cord tissue-derived mesenchymal cells has shown promising results because this treatment leads to the progressive channeling of muscle proteins to the intended place.
The major advantages of stem cell treatment for muscular dystrophy are –
Cell therapy boosts or promotes the organic regeneration of fresh cells.
Umbilical cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells have anti-inflammatory action because of their secretory or paracrine function.
Stem cells are a minimally invasive treatment compared to surgical procedures.
These cells are myogenic progenitor cells that repair muscle protein.
The cells strengthen the neuromuscular junction.
The cells promote Angiogenesis or the growth of blood vessels from existing vasculature.
The procedure is 100% safe and the benefits are long-lasting.
The recovery time is also much faster than other treatment alternatives.
When any patient arrives at Life Altering Stem Cell Therapy Institute for muscular dystrophy, our physicians may do a thorough physical examination and review the medical history. These are done to understand the patient’s current physical condition before proceeding with the stem cell therapy procedure.
In general, our institute has world-class stem cell experts who follow the two most common methods to execute muscle dystrophy treatment using human umbilical cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HUCT-MSCs).
Intravenous administration – HUCT-MSCs are injected into the veins of the patient.
Intramuscular administration – HUCT-MSCs are injected directly into the muscles.
In both processes, effectiveness is equally high as the stem cells are directly introduced into the body so that they move to the targeted muscles and aid in repairing the damaged fibers and regenerating new cells to restore their function.
Positive outcomes or improvements have been observed in patients receiving stem cell therapy for muscular dystrophy. Some of the major observations are –
Improvement in muscle strength
Improvement in mobility and gait
Improved body balance or stability
Enhanced motor function and capabilities like handwriting
Reduced muscle stiffness
Increased range of motion or movement
Increase in muscle mass
Reduction in tremor occurrence
Low levels of creatine kinase
Improved respiratory and cardiovascular function

Below are the answers to some of the common questions raised by our patients regarding stem cell therapy for muscular dystrophy in Mexico.
How does muscular dystrophy (MD) impact one’s life?
Individuals suffering from MD may eventually lose their ability to walk when left untreated for a prolonged period. Patients are seen to be affected by heart and respiratory problems, gastrointestinal issues, etc. However, it is crucial to note that MD is neither a contagious disease nor is caused by muscle injury. It is an inherited genetic disorder causing the degeneration of muscles.
Can stem cell therapy be effective in treating muscular dystrophy?
Yes, stem cell interventions, particularly human umbilical cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells, are highly effective in alleviating the symptoms of muscular dystrophy. It increases muscle mass and strength as the therapy aids in the regeneration of new muscle cells and repairs damaged cells.
Can stem cells regenerate muscle tissue?
When there is any muscle cell injury, biochemical signals are dispatched through your endocrine system. In response to these signals, stem cells swiftly mobilize to the injured area and release muscle proteins that nourish and stimulate your cells, initiating the process of regeneration.
How many stem cell injections are needed to be administered to treat muscular dystrophy?
The number of stem cell administration totally depends on the treatment plan decided by our stem cell specialists and muscular dystrophy experts. They, after reviewing your medical history and physical condition, determine your eligibility for the treatment and the number of stem cell dosages required.
