Do Stem Cells Need to Be Matched? Dr. Joy Kong Explains

Episode Overview

  • Adult stem cells require matching due to developed surface markers.
  • Younger stem cells from umbilical cords do not need matching.
  • Umbilical cord-derived stem cells are more potent and have higher differentiation potential.
  • Younger stem cells are less likely to trigger an immune response.
  • Stem cell therapy can promote health and longevity.
Younger stem cells don't need matching because they haven't developed the surface markers that older cells have
Stem cell therapy can be a confusing topic, especially when it comes to the question of whether stem cells need to be matched to your body. In this episode of The Dr. Joy Kong Podcast, Dr. Joy Kong, a triple board-certified physician, tackles this very question. She explains that while adult stem cells do need to be matched due to their more developed nature, younger cells, such as those derived from umbilical cords, do not require matching.
These younger cells are less likely to trigger an immune response because they haven't developed the surface markers that older cells have. Dr. Kong shares her preference for using umbilical cord-derived stem cells, which are younger, more potent, and have a higher differentiation potential. They also live longer and are more anti-inflammatory and protective. Through engaging and informative discussion, Dr. Kong demystifies the complexities of stem cell therapy and provides clarity on the subject.
If you're curious about the science behind stem cell therapy and want to understand whether matching is necessary, this episode is a must-listen. Dr. Kong's expertise and clear explanations make the topic accessible and interesting. Tune in to learn more about the fascinating world of stem cells and how they can be used to promote health and longevity.
