Quick answer

The fact about stem cells is that they are undifferentiated cells capable of self-renewal and migrating to damaged areas via the Homing Effect to repair the body. Using autologous cells cultured under GMP standards minimizes immune rejection and ensures maximum safety.

Key takeaways

  • Stem cells possess multipotential capabilities to differentiate into various tissues, such as cartilage and muscle.
  • Utilizing autologous cells from one's own body reduces the likelihood of immune rejection.
  • EHL BIO's technology can yield cell products up to 1,000 times higher than competitors.
  • GMP standards and Class 100 cleanrooms are central to ensuring safety in cell production.

What are Stem Cells and How Do They Work?

Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have not yet specialized, giving them the unique ability to increase their numbers (Self-Renewal) and transform into various tissue cells such as brain, skin, cartilage, and muscle (Multipotential).

One of the most critical mechanisms is the 'Homing Effect,' the ability to identify and migrate to damaged parts of the body for repair. EHL BIO utilizes these properties in regenerative medicine, focusing on overcoming degenerative diseases and promoting 'Aging Well' for people worldwide.

Facts About Adipose and Urine-derived Stem Cells

There is a misconception that stem cells must come from embryos. However, 'Adult Stem Cells' found in adipose tissue and urine have high therapeutic potential. Adipose-derived stem cells are particularly advantageous as they are easy to isolate in large quantities and maintain stable growth rates.

Furthermore, EHL BIO is a leader in researching KDSTEM, a urine-derived stem cell for chronic kidney disease. Collecting samples from urine is non-invasive, and these cells secrete the Klotho protein, which helps combat oxidation and reduce kidney fibrosis. This innovation is currently under medical development in clinical trial stages.

EHL BIO's goal is to overcome aging and difficult-to-treat diseases through safe, world-standard stem cell innovations.

International Safety Standards and GMP Technology

Safety is the most crucial factor in regenerative medicine. EHL BIO operates under South Korea's Advanced Regenerative Bio Act and was the first in Korea to be certified as a 'Human Cell Management Business' by the MFDS. We operate GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) facilities equipped with Class 100 cleanrooms and HEPA filtration systems.

With a research team of over 85 members, we can cultivate cells with yields up to 1,000 times higher than standard methods while maintaining excellent cell viability. Additionally, cells are preserved in liquid nitrogen tanks at -196°C to effectively maintain their quality for future use.

Exosome Innovation and Conditioned Media for Beauty

Beyond cell therapy, cell-derived products known as Conditioned Media and Exosomes represent the facts of modern beauty innovation. Exosomes are nano-sized vesicles that facilitate communication between cells and promote tissue regeneration.

EHL BIO products, such as Cellon Skin and klosome, are safety-certified by the MFDS. They have been found effective in inhibiting melanin production for brighter skin and stimulating collagen production to reduce wrinkles. These growth factor studies have been safety-verified by leading Korean research institutes, ensuring premium quality.

Frequently asked questions

Is stem cell therapy safe?

It is highly safe when using autologous cells from your own body and performed in facilities licensed for human cell management under Korean law, an accreditation EHL BIO was the first to receive.

What diseases can stem cells treat?

It is in the medical development stage for restoring conditions like osteoarthritis, Alzheimer's, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and atopic dermatitis. Treatment plans depend on evaluation by the EHL medical team.

How is cell cultivation at EHL BIO different from others?

We possess proprietary technology that yields 1,000 times more cells than standard methods, conducted under GMP standards and Class 100 cleanliness control.
