Dr. James Utley PhD, Chief Scientific Officer at Auragens  

At Auragens, our scientific team implements our proprietary process of immunophenotyping cells during expansion.

Prior to cells being administered to our patients, we evaluate: cell morphology, optimized cell surface marker selection, cell survivability and potency, and cell multiplication potential.

The result of this process is a safe, customized and high-performance cellular product.

We provide our patients an advanced alternative treatment option for accelerated healing and rapid recovery.

– Dr. James Utley PhD, Chief Scientific Officer   

Auragens is a leader in the stem cell field because we put our science and medical first. Creating the best cellular product in-house and using the best methods for its administration leads to the best results for our patients.

Dr. Utley, here, provides a brief overview of the cells we use and the reason for it. Auragens believes in transparency and sharing knowledge to benefit the field as a whole. The more we are able to breakthrough the misinformation the more effective we will be at making this treatment a standard of care for all who need it.

CELL QUALITY

Umbilical mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) are a type of stem cell that can be isolated from the umbilical cord tissue. The quality of hUC-MSCs can be assessed using a variety of criteria. At Auragens we follow ISCT guidelines and only use the highest quality hUC-MSCs, that we thoroughly evaluate to make sure it is pure, viable, multipotent, immunomodulatory, and capable of expansion.

CELL VOLUME

The use of stem cells, including umbilical stem cells, is a complex medical procedure that requires specialized knowledge and training. The recommended dose and treatment protocol for umbilical stem cells can vary depending on factors such as the patient’s age, medical condition, and the specific goals of the treatment. At Auragens we achieve optimum volume products through understanding the complexity of the cellular expansion potential. Cellular expansion potential is important in that hUC-MSCs should be able to expand in culture while maintaining their stem cell properties. This factor makes Auragens exceptional in that this technique improves the ability to identify specific dosing criteria for the individual patient and the specific ailment.

CELL TYPE

Auragens uses personalized medicine as we target specific populations of hUC-MSCs and ensure that they are as pure as possible, meaning they are free from contamination by other cell types. We use state of the art techniques such as 2D and 3D culturing, and flow cytometry to assess the purity of the cells we use for administration. Our Type selection process ensures that the hUC-MSCs are able to survive and thrive after being isolated from the umbilical cord tissue. A high percentage of viable cells is one of our key selection indicators of an effective product. In our Type selection process, we also ensure both Multipotency capability and Immunomodulatory properties are intact. The secret behind Auragens success is how we custom select the Stem Cells based on the Immunomodulatory properties. We know that hUC-MSCs should have the ability to modulate the immune system, so we use those properties and reinforce them with the latest technologies which can make them useful for treating certain diseases. We harness the natural capability of the cell to regenerate and renew to maximize its impact in the body.

CELL SAFETY

At Auragens we keep safety at the forefront throughout the continuum of care. We pride ourselves in evaluating the safety and efficacy of all our cellular products for intended use. We follow strict manufacturing guidelines outlined in Title 21 of the US Code of Federal regulations. This includes testing for infectious diseases, genetic abnormalities, and other potential risks. The sources of our stem cells are all ethically obtained from non-paid donors, and we use custom protocols that go “above and beyond” to assess the health of the donor in addition to screening for potential health risks that could translate during treatment.

Our team of highly experienced medical professionals is available to assist you with any questions you have about stem cell treatment.

  • Umbilical Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hUC-MSCs)
  • Specialized Manufactured Exosome
  • Enhanced High Yield Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

Treatment protocols are patient-specific and will be administered via intravenous (IV) drip, ultrasound guided intramuscular, intrathecal and intra-articular injections.

Auragens treatment capabilities are vastly different than what can be done in the US. We administer umbilical cord stem cells (hUC-MSCs) which are brand-new, pristine cells that have not been exposed to genetic defect, environmental toxins or aging. They are at full capacity in terms of their ability to regenerate. We maintain a sterile environment and ISO laboratory throughout the life cycle of the procedure and do not perform same day procedures so the risk of a bacterial infection is minimized. We customize the cells with optimized surface markers that provide specific individualized therapeutic benefit to the condition of the patient. We can expand a targeted single cell lineage into millions of identical cell types. We concentrate dosing, guarantee viability and provide data sheets that show the exact cell count, type and quality. We use Flow Cytometry and 2D & 3D culture techniques to identify the highest quality cells and contain them in the same environment for optimal growth. We also can treat for a variety of conditions such as autoimmune disease, pulmonary disease, cardiovascular disease, neurological disorder and autism which are not currently approved in the US.

Timing of results varies by patient and it is important to speak with your Auragens doctors regarding possible outcomes.  Some patients will report significant results during their time at Auragens and others may not see results for several weeks following treatment. It is impossible to guarantee the exact timing of results or if they will occur at all, as age, diet and lifestyle play a major role in treatment efficacy.

Yes. The type of treatments we offer do not illicit an immune response from the body, therefore has an extremely low risk of any type of complications. Our cells are health tested to the highest level of scientific scrutiny by our medical staff before they are administered.

Auragens is partnered with local hospitals in Panama and our stem cells are donated by healthy mothers giving birth via caesarian section. Both the mother and the cord itself undergo a series of tests by our medical staff to ensure safety and quality.

No, our treatments are completely non-pharmaceutical.

We will need patients to fill out medical history forms, HIPAA waivers and send in requested images and/or blood testing required to evaluate a patient’s candidacy for treatment.

No long-term effects have been reported. Short-term effects may include a feeling of fever or chills but that is rare and experienced only briefly.

Auragens and the JW Marriott are 25 minutes away from the airport.

Treatments at Auragens are not covered by insurance and payment is due prior to service.
