Crohn’s Disease

Crohn’s disease is a chronic disorder of the digestive system that causes inflammation and damage in any part of the gastrointestinal tract, from the mouth to the anus. This can lead to symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, weight loss, and fatigue. The exact cause of Crohn’s disease is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve an abnormal immune response.

Stem cell therapy can help in Crohn’s disease by contributing to the repair of damaged intestinal mucosa, modulating the excessive immune response. Stem cells can differentiate into specialized cells that regenerate intestinal tissues, helping to heal lesions and reduce inflammation. They can also regulate the immune system, decreasing the autoimmune response characteristic of Crohn’s disease. This can lead to a reduction in symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and an improvement in the quality of life of patients.
