Stem Cell Therapy: A Potential Solution for Covid-19

Coronavirus (Covid-19) is a contagious and infectious disease that has caused a global pandemic. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared this a global pandemic as Covid-19 has spread throughout the world causing over 2.9 million deaths. Consequently, companies have manufactured vaccines to combat the spread of Covid-19 and protect those who become vaccinated. However, the current vaccines do not seem to be effective against the new variants of the virus that have emerged. Stem cell therapy could be an alternative. This study aims to find an alternative solution to combat the new variant of Covid-19. Stem cells therapy is a potential noninvasive method for treating the emerging variants of SARS-COV-2 that the coronavirus vaccine is ineffective against. The immunomodulatory effects from stem cell therapy can inhibit the immune system overactivation therefore lower the mortality rate by preventing or attenuating the cytokine storm caused by Covid-19. It can reduce time to recovery with its regenerative effects by repairing damages caused by Covid-19 and improving bodily functions. In addition, unlike most traditional medicine, no adverse effects have been observed after treatment. All this suggests that stem cell therapy is a promising and viable solution to combat and treat Covid-19. This study examined that the Covid-19 can potentially be treated by stem cell therapy as stem cells can greatly improve the symptoms of patients with mild, moderate, and severe coronavirus infections, and repair the damage.
