Suitability depends on the condition, cell type, plans permitted under Korean law, and an individual assessment. The EHL team reviews your health information and explains the available options before confirming a care plan.

EHL BIO publishes its main programmes on its research pages: ADSTEM Inj. for moderate to severe atopic dermatitis, which the hospital's affiliated research centre states completed Phase 1 in 2017, completed Phase 2 in 2023 and had a Phase 3 IND submitted in 2024; KDSTEM Inj. for chronic kidney disease, using autologous urine-derived stem cells, with IND approval and Phase 1 initiation stated for 2023; RASTEM Inj. for rheumatoid arthritis, where the hospital's affiliated research centre states non-clinical work is being completed and a clinical trial is in preparation; and PDSTEM Inj. for Parkinson's disease, stated to be at non-clinical stage. The institution also describes Keycell-IM immune cell work and adipose-derived exosome research listing indications under study such as neuropathic pain, cartilage regeneration, wound healing, hypertension, retinopathy and diabetes. Readers should keep one distinction clear: research status is not approval to treat. Phase 1 targets safety, Phase 2 assesses dose and signals of effect, and only Phase 3 with large numbers can support efficacy conclusions. Korean regulatory status also does not mean Thailand permits the same treatment.
