Biohelenika is one of the largest stem cell banks in Europe

"There are already clinical confirmations that stem cells may help in the treatment of attack (to form new blood vessels), Alzheimer's disease, cancer, cerebral palsy, even in autism, arthritis and osteoarthritis, problems in aesthetic and plastic surgery, and opleshevyavane. "

This was announced at a press conference in BTA Prof. G. Koliakos, president of Bank of tissue stem cells Biohelenika - Greece. He added that in blood diseases their use is standard practice.

Biohelenika is one of the largest banks in Europe and it can be kept not only stem cells from newborns, but also stem cells taken from each "grown up" man. In cases of the disease, people who have preserved their own stem cells symbolic sums paid for the procedure. Furthermore, the Bank actively participates in clinical studies related to the use of stem cells.

"Every birth is the right decision to keep the newborn stem cells because they carry the original DNA. After 5-10 years genomics will develop to a level that everyone is good to have their stem cells, which if necessary to restore a damaged body, "- said Dr. Strahil Efremov, medical director of Biohelenika Bulgaria.

Our stem cells, considered a panacea for all evil, also age, recent research evidence. That is taken from a man of 30, 50 or 70 years, not so efficient and powerful action as if they were "young" - taken from the umbilical cord of a newborn or a child's milk tooth.

A new hypothesis is that older people because their older stem cells.
