Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, a progressive neurological disorder that affects memory, thinking, and behavior. It occurs when abnormal protein deposits, inflammation, and cell damage disrupt communication between brain cells, eventually leading to widespread brain cell loss.
Common symptoms of Alzheimer’s include:
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive condition, meaning symptoms worsen over time. Current treatments focus on managing symptoms, but there is no cure.
Regenerative medicine is a promising field that seeks to harness the body’s natural ability to repair and restore itself. Stem cells and exosomes are being researched for their potential role in supporting brain health and slowing the progression of neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s.
Stem cells are unique because they can develop into many types of specialized cells. In Alzheimer’s research, they are being studied for their ability to:
Exosomes are tiny particles naturally secreted by cells that act as messengers, carrying proteins, growth factors, and genetic material to support cell repair and communication. In Alzheimer’s, exosomes are being investigated for their ability to:
Together, stem cells and exosomes may offer a complementary approach to support cognitive health.
While results can vary from patient to patient, regenerative therapies are being explored for their potential to:
It is important to understand that these therapies are not a cure for Alzheimer’s and are considered innovative and investigational.
At our clinic, we take a holistic approach to supporting patients with Alzheimer’s disease. We carefully evaluate your medical history, stage of condition, and health goals to determine if regenerative therapies may be appropriate. Our focus is on improving quality of life while complementing ongoing medical care.
