Abu Dhabi; 03 May 2020 (UMM): A patent has been granted by UAE’s Ministry of Economy for an innovative and promising treatment for Covid-19 using stem cells.
According to Khaleej Times, the treatment was developed by a team of doctors and researchers at the Abu Dhabi Stem Cell Center, ADSCC, and involves extracting stem cells from the patient's own blood and reintroducing them after activating them.
Process involves regenerating lung cells and modulating the immune response to keep it from overreacting to the COVID-19 infection. The treatment requires inhaling the treatment into their lungs after it has been nebulized into a fine mist.
The treatment has successfully undergone the initial phase of clinical trials. The treatment was tested on 73 Covid-19 coronavirus patients who have all been successfully recovered. None of the patients who have received the treatment reported immediate adverse effects and there have been no interactions.
