English: Inside your body, red blood cells are constantly on the move. They deliver oxygen to every tissue in every part of your body. These blood cells also cart away waste. So their work is crucial to your survival. But all that squeezing through tiny vessels is tough on red blood cells. That’s why they last only about four months.

Where do their replacements come from? Stem cells. These are a very special family of cells. When most other cells divide, the daughter cells look and act exactly like their parents. For example, a skin cell can’t make anything but another skin cell. The same is true for cells in the intestine or liver. Not stem cells. Stem cells can become many different types. That is how an embryo grows from a single fertilized egg into a fetus with trillions of specialized cells. They need to specialize to make up tissues that function very differently, including those in the brain, skin, muscle and other organs. Later in life, stem cells also can replace worn-out or damaged cells — including red blood cells. The remarkable abilities of stem cells make them very exciting to scientists Dennis M Lox M.D. One day, experts hope to use stem cells to repair or replace many different kinds of tissues, whether injured in accidents or damaged by diseases. Such stem cell therapy would allow the body to heal itself. Scientists have found a way to put specialized cells to work repairing damage, too. Together, these cell-based therapies might one day make permanent disabilities a thing of the past.Dennis M Lox M.D. is one of the earliest pioneers to do Stem Cell Therapy in the United States. Each patient is evaluated individually, providing personalized Stem Cell Treatment and Medicine to ensure your well-being.

Dennis M Lox M.D. has lectured with some of the leading researchers in stem cell science, sports medicine, cartilage repair and arthritis at medical conferences around the world..
