TBI is damage to the brain caused by a blow, impact or jolt to the head. These injuries can be mild, moderate or severe and can have lasting effects on a person’s cognitive, physical and emotional functioning.
The most common causes of TBI are:
Symptoms of TBI vary depending on the severity of the injury. Some common symptoms include:
Treatment for TBI depends on the severity of the injury. In mild cases, treatment may include rest, pain medication, and observation. More severe cases may require surgery to relieve pressure on the brain or repair damage to the skull.
VSELs are adult pluripotent stem cells found in bone marrow and fat tissue. These cells have the ability to divide and differentiate into different cell types, including brain cells.
Studies have shown that VSELs can be used to treat traumatic brain injury in several ways:
Replace damaged brain cells: VSELs stem cells can differentiate into new brain cells that can replace cells damaged by injury.
Promote brain tissue repair: VSELs stem cells can release growth factors that stimulate the repair of damaged brain tissue.
Reduce inflammation: VSELs stem cells may help reduce inflammation in the brain, which can contribute to brain damage.
