- Children with autism often have problems with hypoxia, or a lack of oxygen to the brain, according to RegeneCell. Their immune systems do not function as normal, according to the site.
- No universally-accepted cure or therapy for autism exists, according to RegeneCell. Current treatments focus on the behavioral or nutritional aspects of the condition.
- Administration of mesenchymal and CD34+ umbilical cord cells has been proposed as a treatment for autism. This therapy may treat both hypoxia and immune system abnormalities, according to RegenCell.com.
- CD34+ umbilical cord cells may aid the process of angiogenesis, or the creation of collateral blood cells, according to RegeneCell. This could cure autistic patients of hypoxia.
- Mesenchymal stem cells could cure autistic patients of immunological abnormalities, according to RegeneCell. These cells suppress pathological immune system responses and stimulate blood cell regeneration.
