This is a YouTube video titled "Can STEM CELLS help autoimmunity? 🤔 #shorts #" created on October 25, 2022, discussing the potential benefits of stem cells in treating autoimmune diseases by modulating the immune response and reducing inflammation.
Stem cells help autoimmunity. So autoimmune disease is one of the most prevalent diseases in the world right now. There are 122 autoimmune diseases in the world. And stem cells have been researched in a lot of these conditions and showing pretty solid results. The reason it can help with autoimmunity is it has the capability to modulate the immune response, especially the mesenchymal stem cells that we're all talking about right now. That has the ability to balance your immune system so your body will know by int dealing with environmental or internal stimulation and not reacting to itself and or overreacting to the environment. And also it's very anti inflammatory. So the combination of calming down inflammation and changing the way the immune system acts, that's how it can really, really calm down the immune system and promote this more regenerative condition rather than overreactive and fight and flight condition.
