2. StemCells21 is a Biotech company based in Bangkok, Thailand. The
company was established in 2008, founded by Mr. Paul Collier, with
the first Regenerative Medicine facility & lab opening its doors in
2011. StemCells21 offers:
• Premium Regenerative Medicine @ IntellliHealth+

STEMCELLS21: THE COMPANY
3. IntelliHealth+ centres were established to offer patients stem cell
based treatment programs, in 5* modern facilities. When patients
undergo a treatment program at IH+, an appropriate stem cell
source is selected and a supportive therapy program is designed.
Stem Cell Sources: Umbilical Cord, Peripheral Blood or Adipose.
Supportive Therapies: Peptides/Growth factors, Bio-photon laser
treatments, Oxygen therapies and Nutrition/Enzyme/Hormones.

6. STEMCELLS21: STEM CELLS
What Are Stem Cells?
Stem cells are biological cells that can an self renew to produce
more stem cells and differentiate into specialised cell types.
8. STEMCELLS21: STEM CELLS
How stem cells work
These cells are capable of performing three important functions with
unique abilities:
- Plasticity: Potential to change into other cell types like nerve cells
- Homing: To travel to the site of tissue damage or under stimulation
- Engraftment: To unite with other tissues

12. Mesenchymal & CD34+ Cells:
Fully characterised, early passage stem cells are
available ready for use in cryo-storage.
All products undergo extensive testing including
characterisation studies. This gives detailed
information on genetic stability, gene expression, and
differentiation potential.

13. Source: human umbilical cord-derived
▪Mesenchymal stem cells are multipotent stem cells
that can differentiate into a number of cell types
including osteoblasts, chondrocytes, myocytes,
adipocytes, neurons, etc.
▪These can have immense applications in
regenerative medicine.

STEMCELLS21: MSC
16. ▪Source: human umbilical cord blood-derived
▪CD34 cells are lymphohematopoietic stem and
progenitor cells, scaleable up to 10-folds in culture,
and capable of maintaining long-term
hematopoiesis.
▪They can be used for a variety of purposes
including reconstitution of myeloablated marrow,
neurological and angiogeneic applications.

21. How it Works:
Our technology process yields SVF which is a functionally
diverse population of cells that is believed to be synergistic
and able to communicate with other cells in their local
environment.
Ultrasonic Cavitation Separation process is:
• Clean/Safe – no animal products or
enzymes
• Efficient– complete time 30 - 40
minutes with cell counting
• High number of SVF
• Extra cellular matrix present which
aids in the regenerative process
• Can be applied to a variety of
diseases
STEMCELLS21: ADIPOSE SVF
22. STEMCELLS21: ADIPOSE SVF
Prior to our process, the cell membrane's are clearly defined
Contents of the Adipose cell begin to emulsify.
Emulsifications of the fats and water content to occur.
Homogenization of the Adipose tissue has occurred!
23. ▪Derived from Blood Vessels in adipose (fat) tissue
▪Capillaries are primary source (see inset below)
▪Same-day clinical procedure
▪Easy to harvest fat
▪High cell counts
Blood vessels
Adipose (fat) cells
Capillaries
The isolated SVF contains:
▪ Adult Stem Cells
▪ Endothelial Cells
▪ Fibroblast Cells
▪ Pericytes
▪ Red Blood Cells
▪ White Blood Cells
… and much more

26. Extracellular matrix (ECM)
• Basement membrane (type 4 reticular collagen)
• Interstitial matrix (Type 1 collagen)
ECM regulates cell function and is a reservoir of growth
factors. Triggering protease activity releases growth factors
ECM controls growth, wound healing and fibrosis; is able to
block the immune reaction of inflammation and scarring to
allow replacement tissue to grow in the absence of scarring.
