1. Embryonic tissues center EmCell is a private limited liability company (LLC) established in 1994. EmCell group has been working for fifteen years and won multinational acknowledgement among the most outstanding clinical specialists in the field of investigations and clinical application of embryonic stems cells (ESC) in vivo.
2. Today, this highly competent and ingenious team is made of like-minded experts guided by Prof. Alexander Ivanovich Smikodub who utilize ESC in vivo, work out indications and contraindications for the treatment of serious acquired and genetic diseases induced by or resulting in cell count lessening.
3. Cure with the help of stem cells
September 9, 1994 is foundation day of Cell Therapy Clinic of the National Medical University of Ukraine and Embryonic Tissues Centre EmCell. It has been working for fifteen years despite all alterations in legislation and other occurrences in the state. The clinic made about 4 000 transplantations of ESC and embryonic tissues and has treated a great diversity of patients during these years. The methods of our hospital aided thousands of persons to save and prolong their dwelling, restore lots of organs and tissues and present that lots of incurable sicknesses may be treated with the help of stem cell.
There was also aired a transmission on November 17, 2005 that was called the Last Hope Clinic by BBC, because for 15 years we aided people in the most complex cases. Apart from this, clinic offers effective prevention and anti-aging methods.
4. Biotechnology of stem cell isolation and storage
The technologies of stem cell isolation and storing are practiced by EmCell and medical professionals. Such methods are well-known worldwide and were patented in many developed countries such as UK and Belgium. There's a practice of embryonic cell suspension, after which it is utilized for experiments and clinical purposes. All the professionals include working in abacterial box with medical practice. We're of the conviction that transplantation of the material made at the centre to the person is the best option.
Biotechnological steps of cell therapy by means of embryonic material:
1. High quality embryonic material that is taken in gynecological departments and which is safe, appropriate and ethically approved;
2. The next step is preparations of cell cultures and putting them into abacterial boxes;
3. Safety and viability examination of embryonic cell suspensions;
4. Low temperature embryonic material cryopreservation;
5. Examination of embryonic cell materials after unfreeze process;
6. Long-period storage of embryonic cell suspensions in cryobanks.
5. Cell suspension bank
The bank includes different types of cell materials and is very important for EmCell. There're more than 10 000 embryonic, fetal, cord blood cell materials in up-to-date tanks and dewars that are of human and animal experimental origin. Regular examinations for infections and fungi are made for all those boxes and media.
