MSCs and Muse Cells
Modern regenerative medicine is making major strides thanks to stem cell research and two cell types are at the center of it all: Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) and Muse Cells.
Let’s explore what these remarkable cells are, how they work, and why they hold so much promise for healing and recovery.
Stem cell therapies are evolving.
Instead of relying on standard MSCs alone, treatments are now being engineered to be enriched with Muse cells, increasing the concentration of these powerful regenerative cells to over 70%.
What Are Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs)?
Often considered the foundation of regenerative cell therapy, Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) are adult stem cells capable of self-renewal and differentiation into multiple cell types—including bone, cartilage, and fat. This makes them a powerful tool for repairing and regenerating tissue.
But their benefits go beyond regeneration. MSCs also have strong anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. In conditions involving chronic pain or autoimmune activity, MSCs can help regulate immune responses and reduce inflammation at the site of damage².
At PRMEDICA, we use umbilical cord-derived stem cells—a safe, ethical, and highly effective source for regenerative therapies. Collected after healthy births with full consent, these cells pose no risk or harm to the mother or baby. What would normally be discarded becomes a powerful resource for healing.
What Are Muse Cells?
Multilineage-differentiating stress-enduring (Muse) cells are a rare and highly specialized type of stem cell first identified in 2010 by Dr. Mari Dezawa and her team at Tohoku University in Japan³.
At PRMEDICA, our Muse cells are harvested from adipose tissue—an abundant and accessible source that provides high-quality regenerative cells. Although naturally present in small numbers (just 1–2% of MSCs), they offer several key advantages over traditional MSCs.
What Makes Muse Cells Unique?
- Pluripotency: Muse cells can transform into cells from all three germ layers (endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm), giving them the potential to become nearly any cell type in the body².
- Stress Resistance: Unlike standard MSCs, Muse cells can survive in harsh or inflamed environments—like injured tissues—thanks to their resistance to cellular stress.
- Targeted Homing: Muse cells naturally detect signals from damaged tissue and migrate directly to the injury site, where they integrate into the tissue and contribute to repair¹.
- Immunomodulatory & Anti-Scarring Effects: They release important molecules like HGF, VEGF, and MMPs, which promote tissue healing, reduce scarring, and support new blood vessel formation.
- True Regenerative Potential: While MSCs are multipotent (limited to a few cell types), Muse cells are pluripotent, meaning they can regenerate a much broader range of tissue types².
Muse-Enriched Therapies: A New Era in Regeneration
At PRMEDICA, stem cell therapies are evolving. Instead of relying on standard MSCs alone, treatments are now being engineered to be enriched with Muse cells—increasing the concentration of these powerful regenerative cells from less than 2% to over 70%.
This enrichment results in:
- Greater survival rates after injection
- More efficient targeting of injured tissue
- Higher chances of therapeutic success
In fact, studies show that 15% of injected Muse cells home to damaged tissue, compared to fewer than 1% of standard MSCs².
The Key for Neurological Treatments
Muse cells are especially effective in neurological treatments thanks to their size and ability to home in on damaged neural tissue and regenerate neurons—offering real potential in conditions like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and stroke recovery.
At PRMEDICA, we combine Muse cells with peptide therapy for targeted neurological support. Click here to learn more.
Ready to Begin Your Regenerative Journey?
If you or a loved one are facing a chronic condition, injury, or age-related decline, our expert team at PRMEDICA is here to help.
Our advanced regenerative therapies, powered by MSCs and Muse cells, are personalized to your needs—designed to help your body heal from within and restore optimal function.
We work in collaboration with leading experts in regenerative medicine, including Dr. Adeel Khan, to ensure the highest standards of safety and efficacy. All of our treatments are based on real Muse cells, not imitations. If you have questions about sourcing, quality, or safety, we’re happy to provide full transparency—just reach out.
While our clinic is based in Mexico, we operate under strict medical regulations and work with an international team of licensed professionals. All our stem cell therapies follow approved safety and quality standards. Many of our patients visit us from the U.S. and abroad to access advanced regenerative treatments that may not yet be widely available in their home countries.
Results vary depending on the condition and severity, but many patients begin noticing improvements within weeks of treatment. During your consultation, we’ll help set realistic expectations and a personalized recovery timeline.
