About Cell Therapy

Autologous Bone Marrow Mononuclear Cell Therapy represents an evolving scientific approach that aims to support neurological repair and functional improvement. At Bahamas NeuroGen, this therapy is delivered with responsibility, clinical expertise, and a shared vision of helping children move toward greater independence.

What is autologous bone marrow mononuclear cell therapy?

Cell therapy is an evolving field of regenerative medicine that uses healthy, specialized cells to repair, regenerate, and replace damaged cells in the body.

It aims to support natural healing and improve overall function at a cellular level.

In cell therapy, we use autologous bone marrow mononuclear cells, which are collected from the patient, processed, and reintroduced into the body.

These cells are administered intrathecally (in to spinal fluid), allowing direct delivery into the central nervous system.

Since the cells come from the same individual, the risk of rejection or immune reaction is avoided, making it a safe and personalized approach.

1. BONE MARROW Aspiration

The bone marrow is a soft sponge like material found inside bones and forms blood cells. It is also a rich source of bone marrow-derived cells for Autologous Bone Marrow Mononuclear Cells Grafting. The hip bone is the easiest source for extraction of bone marrow-derived cells for autologous bone marrow mononuclear cells grafting. This extraction is done by a bone marrow aspiration needle, under mild anaesthesia. After this, the patient is sent back to their room to rest for the next step.

2. SEPARATION OF CELLS

The bone marrow aspirate is then transferred to the cell laboratory for processing. It takes advantage of the differences in density between the varieties of cells found in the aspirate and the density gradient medium. The separation process takes around 3 to 4 hours.
