Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Stem Cell Mobilization:

HBOT has been shown in some studies to:



*Enhance stem cell activity
*Mobilize bone marrow derived stem cells
*Increase colony-forming cells
*Accelerate growth and repair of damaged tissue
*Improve tissue regeneration


Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into numerous different cell types and serve as the body's primary internal repair system. The innate ability of stem cells to differentiate into other types of cells with specialized functions (blood, brain or tissue cells) replenishes and regenerates the body from the effects of aging and disease. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been shown to significantly increase the concentration of circulating stem/progenitor cells within the peripheral circulation system. By increasing blood plasma oxygen levels, bone marrow derived stem cells were shown to significantly proliferate and mobilize. The proposed mechanism of action was through a nitric oxide dependent mechanism. This evidence plays a key role in regenerative medicine as the increased number of stem cells in the body have the ability provide enhanced and accelerated physiological repair.

Studies have demonstrated HBOT's therapeutic influence on stem cells with the following:

Enhance Stem Cell Activity with HBOT Documented Physiological effects:

Activates nitric oxide synthase type 3 (NOS-3) • Proliferates and mobilizes bone marrow derived stem cells.

Improves engraftment and differentiation of several progenitor cell types in organs such as the spleen, bone marrow, brain, peripheral nerve, pancreas, cartilage & heart

Increase in colony-forming cells 
Stimulation of stromal-derived growth factor
Promotion in endothelial growth factor-2 for angiogenesis

Increases CD34 expression & pluripotent stem cells Enhance Healing from Disease/Injury with HBOT Clinically documented and supported through research citations to:

*Accelerates growth & repair of damaged tissue
*Improves tissue regeneration & organ functionality
*Promotes neurogenesis
*Stimulates osteogenesis
