What is stem cell?
A stem cell is a cell that can divide for indefinite periods, throughout the life of the organism. Under the right conditions or having received the right signals stem cells have the potential to develop into mature cells that have characteristic shapes and specialized functions, such as heart cells, skin cells, or nerve cells.
Why are stem cells so important?
Our cells can be damaged or killed in the result of injury or illness. When it happens, stem cells are activated to repair damaged tissue. They are also involved in the replacement of other cells when they die naturally. Thus, stem cells keep us healthy and prevent our premature aging acting.
What is the therapeutic effect of stem cells?
The therapeutic effect of stem cells is achieved due to their ability to differentiate and transdifferentiate into tissue-specific cells, to fuse with the resident cells, to secrete a wide array of paracrine factors to stimulate the survival and functional recovery of the resident cells or to regulate the local microenvironment or immune response.

We have check-up programs for men and women
Check-up (health screening) can assist to identify problems with health in their beginning time or even before they begin. Early diagnosis may grow the chances for better treatment and healthier life.
A check-up is a 1-day screening method that shows your health status. Based on it you receive recommendations for further treatment if needed.
