After mesenchymal stromal cells are delivered into the body, they circulate in the blood until they become attracted to proteins found around inflamed or damaged tissue. The stem cells then rush to that injured area and start producing various growth factors:
- chemokines that help cells migrate,
- adhesion molecules that regulate cell interactions at the molecular level.
Cytokines and growth factors are special molecules that help cells communicate with each other. They work by sending signals to other cells to help them heal and recover from damage. This process is called paracrine regulation. These molecules can also help stop inflammation in diseases, including autoimmune disorders.
One key aspect of these signal molecules is that their levels can change depending on how much damage there is to the tissue and the stage of healing. By using cell products based on stromal stem cells, we can boost the production of cytokines to improve the function of damaged tissue.

5-Year-Old Patient with Autism from Israel
A patient from Israel returned to Swiss Medica for a second treatment, accompanied by his father. Following their first visit in August 2023, they were highly satisfied with the results, the clinic’s welcoming atmosphere, and the friendly staff.
After the treatment
The father noticed mild improvements in their son’s behavior within a week after the treatment. These included better understanding of speech, following instructions, dressing himself, and being more relaxed. The progress was slow but consistent. The parents hope to see further improvements in his use of words, sleep patterns, and temperament.
Patient with Ankylosing Spondylitis from Switzerland
The patient had been suffering from this progressive disorder since the age of 13. The problem started with a sacroiliac joint, affecting the sacroiliac region, the hip, and the spine. This resulted in a hunchback while walking, difficulty walking long distances, and stiffness during sleep, causing the need to wake up several times during the night and walk. He received his first treatment in October 2023 and was pleased with the results.
After the treatment
After the treatment, he noticed immediate changes that continued gradually over six months. His night patterns improved significantly, allowing him to sleep continuously for 6–7 hours. His joints became less rigid, and the junction wear was resolved. The patient returned for the second treatment, which also includes physiotherapy, in hope for even better results.
