Joy Kong, MD explains three stages of healing after stem cell therapy: (1) a rapid anti-inflammatory effect that can produce very quick clinical improvements (illustrated by an Alzheimer’s patient who regained the ability to feed herself the day after treatment), (2) a tissue-rebuilding phase in which cells signal local tissues to divide or differentiate, occurring over weeks to months, and (3) a longer-term genetic modification phase where transplanted cells release microRNAs that can enter nuclei and induce durable changes. The piece is an educational monologue focused on clinical effects and expected timelines.
