Stem cell therapy for Autism.
Autism is a spectrum of disorders characterized by marked abnormalities in communication and social interactions. Two common, consistent findings in children with this disorder are diminished oxygenation in specific areas of the brain and a chronic, immunologically mediated inflammatory condition in the gut.
Currently, Autism treatments are available at our Panama center.
The scientific rationale behind using stem cells to treat Autism.
The specially selected adult stem cells used to treat autism at the Riordan Centers for Cellular Medicine come from human umbilical cord tissue (allogeneic mesenchymal). We call them Golden Cells™. Umbilical cords are donated by mothers after normal, healthy births. Before they are approved for treatment, all umbilical cord-derived stem cells are screened for viruses and bacteria to International Blood Bank Standards.
Umbilical cord-derived stem cells are ideal for the treatment of autism because they allow our physicians to administer uniform doses and they do not require any stem cell collection from the patient, which, for autistic children and their parents, can be an arduous process. Because they are collected right after (normal) birth, umbilical cord-derived cells are much more potent than their “older” counterparts, like bone marrow-derived cells, for instance. Cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells pose no rejection risk because they present very low immunogenicity.

What are the advantages of treating autism with allogeneic umbilical cord tissue-derived stem cells?
No need to collect stem cells from the patient’s hip bone or fat under anesthesia, which, especially for small children and their parents, can be an unpleasant ordeal.
No need to administer chemotherapy drugs like granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF or GCSF) to stimulate the bone marrow to produce granulocytes and stem cells, and release them into the bloodstream.
The stem cells with the best anti-inflammatory activity, immune-modulating capacity, and ability to stimulate regeneration can be screened and selected.
Umbilical cord tissue provides an abundant supply of mesenchymal stem cells.
There is a growing body of evidence showing that umbilical cord tissue-derived (HUCT) mesenchymal stem cells are more robust than mesenchymal stem cells from other sources.
Since HUCT mesenchymal stem cells are immune system-privileged, cell rejection is not an issue, and Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) matching is not necessary.
Allogeneic stem cells can be administered multiple times over the course of days in uniform dosages that contain high cell counts.
We use Golden Cells™. Years-long retrospective analysis of patient outcomes has enabled us to identify and select the best cells for use in our patients.
Treatment Protocols
One of our staff physicians will assign a stem cell treatment protocol after you have submitted all the requested medical information and received approval. Your child’s recommended protocol may differ from the example given below:
New: Intranasal Mesenchymal Trophic Factors (MTF) Therapy
Note: Includes Hilton hotel room with breakfast, WIFI, transportation from and to the airport with VIP airport gate service and expedited customs clearance upon arrival.
Treatment length: 6 nights
Day 1 Physical examination and blood testing
Day 2-5 4 intravenous infusions of specially selected human umbilical cord tissue-derived allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells (Golden Cells™):
