We’re here to help. What makes Stem Cell Institute different from other stem cell clinics?Our approach to stem cell therapy is distinguished by four key factors:1. Experience: With 20 years of experience and more than 55,000 procedures delivered to patients, we are proud to be the world’s leading stem cell therapy and research center.2. Innovative Technology: Our Research team and Doctors have spent years developing our own proprietary technology. This includes our unique , which are identified and expanded using advanced screening techniques to provide the best opportunities for optimal outcomes. Golden Cells™ are proprietary to Stem Cell Institute Panama. You won’t find them at any other stem cell clinic in the world!3. On-site Research and Processing: All stem cells are processed at Medistem Panama, an 11,000 sq. ft, ISO 9001 certified, and GMP-compliant research and production lab with over 75 team members, 15 of whom are specialists dedicated solely to quality control. Also founded by , Medistem Panama allows us to control the entire process of producing safe, high-quality stem cells before administering them to our patients.4. Quality over Quantity: We place a strong emphasis on the quality and viability of the stem cells we use, not just the quantity. While some clinics may focus on offering large numbers of cells, what truly matters is the therapeutic potential of each cell. Our rigorous selection and processing ensures that only potent, high-quality Golden Cells™ are administered to Stem Cell Institute patients. What are Golden Cells™, and why are they important? are the exclusive mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) used in all treatments at Stem Cell Institute Panama. Developed through years of research and a retrospective analysis of our highly successful cases, these cells are identified and selected using proprietary technology that evaluates their molecular signature to ensure only highly effective cells are chosen. “This is the first time in history that anyone has been able to retrospectively analyze which MSCs have more benefit. I like to say that an MSC is not an MSC… Some perform better than others. That’s why we’ve been working to select the best cells for use in patients with chronic disease. Now we can retrospectively analyze existing data on outcomes. We are the only stem cell company with the data to do that.”– , Stem Cell Therapy: A Rising Tide: How Stem Cells Are Disrupting Medicine and Transforming LivesAmong many other things, our Golden Cells™ are known to help:Reduce inflammationModulate the immune systemSecrete factors that may help various tissues throughout the body to regenerate Watch this video to learn more about Golden Cells™ from our founder, Dr. Neil Riordan. Are stem cells safe?Stem cell treatments at the Stem Cell Institute are designed to meet the highest safety standards. We use specially-selected mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) known as , which have been extensively studied and are considered safe for therapeutic use. Our process is overseen by a team of 100+ professionals with 20 years of experience performing 55,000+ procedures safely. There have been no serious adverse effects of stem cell therapy reported by the 15,000+ patients we have treated. How are stem cells sourced for treatment?The stem cells we use are specially-selected mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from umbilical cord donations of healthy, full-term births. The process of collecting and preparing these cells is meticulous:Cord donations are sourced exclusively from healthy women after normal, c-section births in Panama who willingly participate in our donation program.We only accept donations from families who have undergone thorough medical screening to ensure the absence of infections and other risks. Our donors sign a consent form, fill out a detailed questionnaire, and give a blood sample. The mothers’ blood undergoes extensive testing for a variety of infectious diseases in accordance with international blood bank guidelines.Umbilical cords are collected in a sterile environment immediately after delivery, posing no risk to the mother or baby. Once collected, the cords are immediately transported to Medistem Panama, Dr. Riordan’s local state-of-the-art stem cell laboratory, where the cells are isolated, tested, and prepared for use. How are stem cells administered?At Stem Cell Institute, our Golden Cells™ are administered in different ways depending on the patient’s condition and specific needs. Typically, patients receive at least three rounds of stem cell treatments as part of their overall care plan. These treatments can be administered through:Intravenous (IV) – Stem cells are infused directly into the bloodstream.Intramuscular – Stem cells are injected into the muscle tissue.Intrathecal – Stem cells are injected into the spinal fluid to target the central nervous system.Perilymphatic – Stem cells are injected around the lymph nodes.Intra-articular – Stem cells are injected into joints using image guidance. Below is an example of a stem cell treatment protocol:Treatment length: 4 treatment days / 5 hotel nightsPhysical examination and blood testing: Day 13 intravenous infusions of : Days 2-4Intramuscular and Intra-articular injections (as needed) How do I apply to become a patient?To start your free evaluation, please complete our online .
