Dr Alok Sharma Stem cells | Stem cell therapy | NeuroGen


A stem cell is an undifferentiated cell of a living organism. It has the potential to proliferate or regenerate, repair the organ or tissue after an injury as well as give birth to more differentiated cells. A term that can be associated with the potential of stem cells is "plasticity", which implies that a stem cell can be isolated from one tissue and convert itself into cells of different tissues. While there are several experienced doctors from all over the world, who have done extensive research in the field of regenerative medicine, Dr Alok Sharma has carved his niche ́ in the field of stem cells for neuroregenerative purposes. In India, Dr Alok Sharma, stem cells & incurable neurological disorders go hand-in-hand. 




Which stem cells does Dr Alok Sharma use?
 Dr Alok Sharma’s stem cell preference is adult autologous bone marrow derived, as it is one of the safest and most effective types of stem cells for neurological disorders. DrAlok Sharma’s stem cell therapy center at NeuroGen Brain & Spine Institute, uses the following protocol for treatment of incurable neurological disorders. The stem cell transplantation is divided into 3 simple and effective steps:




Bone Marrow Aspiration:
The bone marrow is a soft sponge like material that forms blood cells and is a rich source of adult stem cells for stem cell therapy. Dr Alok Sharma uses a thin bone marrow aspiration needle for the bone marrow extraction from the patient’s own hip bone, which is easily accessible. This extraction is done under local anaesthesia. After this, the patient is sent back to their room to rest for the next step.

Stem Cell Separation:
The bone marrow aspirate is then transferred to the stem cell laboratory for processing. Dr Alok Sharma’s stem cell laboratory is fully equipped GLP (Good Lab Practice) & GMP (Good Medical Practice) certified. The stem cell separation 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 5 hours.



Intrathecal Stem Cell Injection:
Once the BM MNCs are separated and purified in about 3-4 hours, the patient is taken back to the operation theatre, where Dr Alok Sharma administers stem cells intrathecally, i.e. into the fluid around the brain and spine, using a spinal needle. In certain cases, these stem cells are injected into the muscles (eg. Muscular Dystrophy patients - as assessed and recommended by the rehabilitation team) using a very thin needle. 

Dr Alok Sharma is considered as one of the best neurosurgeons in the world and has been recognised several times in both, Indian & International platforms. He has touched the lives of over 8500 individuals from over 65 countries, who suffer from various incurable neurological disorders. Dr Alok Sharma’s stem cell therapy can be done at his neurological hospital in India, NeuroGen Brain & Spine Institute. The stem cell transplantation is followed by extensive neurorehabilitation done by some of the best therapists in India. You can also contact Dr Alok Sharma for stem cell therapy here.
