Joy Kong, MD breaks down a 2019 Korean study on stem cell therapy for wounds. Researchers tested three injection routes and found similar healing results across all of them, suggesting injected cells can migrate to injury sites regardless of where they're delivered.
A 2019 study coming out of Korea, and they were looking at what happens to wound healing when you inject the cells either through the intravenous route or through the intramuscular route or subcutaneously. So what happens to the wound healing? And they realized it doesn't matter which route you go. The healing happens to very similar degrees. So that just shows you that that when cells are put in the body, that they are going to find their way to where the healing needs to occur. So if you put the cell locally, yes. You can promote healing right there. Right. You get a high concentration of cells. But if you put cells in an intravenous route, depending on how much problem is going on elsewhere, if you have a lot of fires that the cells need to put out, then the cells are going to be dispersed, be divided. Right. An army is going to be divided to fight separate battles.
