Aging ?- How we age
Breakdown in the
cellular safety nets
Functional decline of
molecular, cellular
activities to multiple organ
level
Decrease in the vitality of the
body to adopt various
diseases
Decrease in the reproductivity
Death is the Final event

How to Delay or Reverse
The Aging?
Antiaging
Remove the damage or Inactive molecules
and cells
Restore function to several molecules by
repair & Replacement
Modify the Genetic Program to prevent the
aging process from continuing
How are we going to do Above changes...???

MSC are magic cells as they release plethora of

24. THE ADVANTAGES Of Stem Cell Anti-Aging
Treatment
www.stemrx.in
Stem Cells from your own body are used
No chemicals or drugs are needed
Better breathing and sleeping pattern.
Energy levels restored
Age spots fade
Complexion brightens and skin softens
No more expensive supplements or creams required
Hormones are re-balanced
Sugar levels controlled
Heightened sexual drive
Increased metabolism and surprisingly an average 4-7 kg
weight loss.
Hair color darkening and volume increasing.
There is also a better control of blood pressure and improved
vision
Emotional and cognitive improvement occurs, memory

improves, concentration ability increases and your ability to

VSEL
VSEL : Very Small Embryonic/
Epiblast-like stem cells
26
Potentially represent the most
regenerative adult stem cells having
embryonic characterization.
Proposed as a viable alternative to
human embryonic stem cells.
They home to site of injuries, upregulate
angiogenesis,
down
27. www.stemrx.in
First reported in mouse bone marrow in 2006 by Kucia M et.al
characterized by CXCR4(+)SSEA-1(+)Oct-4+ markers.
Later identified in human blood and bone marrow as well. In 2011
Sovalat H et.al supported the evidence of presence of VSEL in human
bone marrow.
These relevant cells might be issued from very small embryonic-like
stem cells deposited in the BM during ontogenesis and reside lifelong
in the adult BM, and that they could be mobilized into peripheral
blood by granulocyte colony-stimulating factor.
very small embryonic-like stem cells constitute a "mobile" pool of
primitive/pluripotent stem cells that could be released from the BM into
the peripheral blood under the influence of various physiological or
pathological stimuli like injuries, hypoxia, physical exercises etc.

1.
Studies have shown that VSEL’s are
deposited in adult tissues as backup
population for TCSC
2. An increase in chronic caloric uptake may
prematurely deplete VSELs from adult
tissues, thus contributing to aging. By
contrast, caloric restriction has an opposing
beneficial effect on the tissue-residing pool of
VSELs and longevity.
