The stem cells, especially the hematopoietic stem cells (HSCT) can halt the scleroderma progression in patients.rnrnAccording to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nejm.org\/doi\/full\/10.1056\/NEJMoa1703327\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">study<\/a> published in January 2018, patients with scleroderma achieved long-term event-free survival with stem-cell transplantation as compared to standard of care therapy.rnrn<div class=\"video-container\"><lite-youtube class=\"\" videoid=\"WU-xJ5Dqv_U\" posterquality=\"sddefault\"><a class=\"lite-youtube-fallback\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WU-xJ5Dqv_U\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Watch on YouTube<\/a><\/lite-youtube><h5>Video Courtesy: National Scleroderma Foundation<\/h5><\/div>rnrn\n    <h2 id=\"\" class=\"section-heading\">Methods of Stem Cells Administration<\/h2>\n    rnrnThe stem cells used can be either <strong>autologous<\/strong> (extracted from the patientu2019s body) or <strong>allogenic<\/strong> (taken from a matched donor). These stem cells can be administered in three of the mentioned ways:rn<\/p>\n<ul>rn t<\/p>\n<li><strong>Intravenous:<\/strong> The cells are infused via veins so as to expand the blood volumes in the central nervous system. This ensures that maximum cells reach the target area of therapy.<\/li>\n<p>rn t<\/p>\n<li><strong>Local:<\/strong> The cells are directly administered at the site of injury. This is done using a catheter-based delivery system.<\/li>\n<p>rn t<\/p>\n<li><strong>Sub-Cutaneous:<\/strong> The cells are administered in the fat layer of the skin. This therapy promotes regeneration of skin cells and is thus used for restructuring of skin tissues.<\/li>\n<p>rn<\/ul>\n<p>rn<div class=\"cta cta--post\"><h2>Visit Mexico for stem cells!<\/h2><h3>Plan your treatment with MTC<\/h3><a href=\"\/request-quote\" class=\"cta_button btn\">Contact us<\/a><\/div>rnrn<div class=\"content-area content-area--reference\">rnrn\n    <h2 id=\"\" class=\"section-heading\">Reference<\/h2>\n    rn<\/p>\n<ol>rn t<\/p>\n<li><strong>u00a0The New England Journal of Medicine:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nejm.org\/doi\/full\/10.1056\/NEJMoa1703327\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Myeloablative Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation for Severe Scleroderma<\/a><\/li>\n<p>rn<\/ol>\n<p>rn<\/div>rnrn&nbsp;&#8221;<br \/>\n\t\t\tmtctheme_title = &#8220;Stem Cell Therapy for Scleroderma in Mexico&#8221;<br \/>\n\t\t\tmtctheme_featured_post = &#8220;off&#8221;<br \/>\n\t\t\tmtctheme_pagemenu = [<br \/>\n    {<br \/>\n        &#8220;text&#8221;: &#8220;&#8221;,<br \/>\n        &#8220;url&#8221;: &#8220;&#8221;<br \/>\n    },<br \/>\n    {<br \/>\n        &#8220;text&#8221;: &#8220;&#8221;,<br \/>\n        &#8220;url&#8221;: &#8220;&#8221;<br \/>\n    }<br \/>\n]<br \/>\n\t\t\tmtctheme_proscons1 = [<br \/>\n    {<br \/>\n        &#8220;pro&#8221;: &#8220;&#8221;,<br \/>\n        &#8220;con&#8221;: &#8220;&#8221;<br \/>\n    },<br \/>\n    {<br \/>\n        &#8220;pro&#8221;: &#8220;&#8221;,<br \/>\n        &#8220;con&#8221;: &#8220;&#8221;<br \/>\n    }<br \/>\n]<br \/>\n\t\t\tmtctheme_proscons2 = [<br \/>\n    {<br \/>\n        &#8220;pro&#8221;: &#8220;&#8221;,<br \/>\n        &#8220;con&#8221;: &#8220;&#8221;<br \/>\n    },<br \/>\n    {<br \/>\n        &#8220;pro&#8221;: &#8220;&#8221;,<br \/>\n        &#8220;con&#8221;: &#8220;&#8221;<br \/>\n    }<br \/>\n]<br \/>\n\t\t\tmtctheme_proscons3 = [<br \/>\n    {<br \/>\n        &#8220;pro&#8221;: &#8220;&#8221;,<br \/>\n        &#8220;con&#8221;: &#8220;&#8221;<br \/>\n    },<br \/>\n    {<br \/>\n        &#8220;pro&#8221;: &#8220;&#8221;,<br \/>\n        &#8220;con&#8221;: &#8220;&#8221;<br \/>\n    }<br \/>\n]<br \/>\n\t\t\tmtctheme_proscons4 = [<br \/>\n    {<br \/>\n        &#8220;pro&#8221;: &#8220;&#8221;,<br \/>\n        &#8220;con&#8221;: &#8220;&#8221;<br \/>\n    },<br \/>\n    {<br \/>\n        &#8220;pro&#8221;: &#8220;&#8221;,<br \/>\n        &#8220;con&#8221;: &#8220;&#8221;<br \/>\n    }<br \/>\n]<br \/>\n\t\t\tmtctheme_proscons5 = [<br \/>\n    {<br \/>\n        &#8220;pro&#8221;: &#8220;&#8221;,<br \/>\n        &#8220;con&#8221;: &#8220;&#8221;<br \/>\n    },<br \/>\n    {<br \/>\n        &#8220;pro&#8221;: &#8220;&#8221;,<br \/>\n        &#8220;con&#8221;: &#8220;&#8221;<br \/>\n    }<br \/>\n]<br \/>\n\t\t\tmtctheme_proscons6 = [<br \/>\n    {<br \/>\n        &#8220;pro&#8221;: &#8220;&#8221;,<br \/>\n        &#8220;con&#8221;: &#8220;&#8221;<br \/>\n    },<br \/>\n    {<br \/>\n        &#8220;pro&#8221;: &#8220;&#8221;,<br \/>\n        &#8220;con&#8221;: &#8220;&#8221;<br \/>\n    }<br \/>\n]<br \/>\n\t\t\tmtctheme_related_title = &#8220;Related Posts&#8221;<br \/>\n\t\t\tmtctheme_featured_blogs_usca = [<br \/>\n    &#8220;12193&#8221;,<br \/>\n    &#8220;12345&#8221;,<br \/>\n    &#8220;12792&#8221;,<br \/>\n    &#8220;12794&#8221;<br \/>\n]<br \/>\n\t\t\tmtctheme_featured_blogs_eume = [<br \/>\n    &#8220;12794&#8221;,<br \/>\n    &#8220;12792&#8221;,<br \/>\n    &#8220;12088&#8221;<br \/>\n]<br \/>\n\t\t\tmtctheme_featured_blogs_aunz = [<br \/>\n    &#8220;12794&#8221;,<br \/>\n    &#8220;12097&#8221;,<br \/>\n    &#8220;12792&#8221;,<br \/>\n    &#8220;12088&#8221;<br \/>\n]<br \/>\n\t\t\tmtctheme_synopsis = &#8220;Scleroderma is an autoimmune disease that mainly affects the skin of the hands.
