• What is Myasthenia Gravis?
• Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune condition
  that affects 20 out of every 100,000 people.
• It is a lifelong neuromuscular disease that
  affects the individuals ability to control
  muscles voluntarily. Eventually, it causes
  incredible weakness in the muscles.
• In a patient with MG, the immune system
  malfunctions by releasing antibodies that destroy
  receptor sites and disrupt communication between
  nerve and muscle cells.

• Symptoms of Myasthenia Gravis
• Drooping eyelids, also known ptosis
• Facial muscle weakness
• Limb weakness
• Speech trouble
• Dysphagia
• Double vision
• Inability to hold neck up
• Respiratory problems
• Fatigue
• As the disease advances, these symptoms can get
  progressively worse.

4

• Causes of Myasthenia Gravis
• Presence of protein blocking antibodies
• Enlarged thymus gland
• Tumor in thymus gland
• Family history (mothers with MG may give birth to
  children with MG)
• This type of MG is called neonatal MG. Timely
  diagnosis and intervention can help children
  recover within 2-3 months after birth.

5

• Risk factors of Myasthenia Gravis
• Medication, typically beta blockers, anesthetics,
  antibiotics
• Pregnancy
• Menstruation
• Fatigue
• Surgery
• Illness
• Infection
• Stress

• Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy for Myasthenia
  Gravis
• At our centres in Bangalore and Hyderabad, we
  offer regenerative rehabilitation for myasthenia
  gravis.
• Mesenchymal stem cell therapy, a crucial
  component of Plexus rehabilitation program
  offers the following benefits
• Immunomodulation
• Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have
  immunomodulatory properties that help them
  regulate the immune system's responses
• Anti-Inflammatory Effects
• MSCs secrete anti-inflammatory molecules that
  reduce inflammatory response
• This can stall disease progression and decrease
  the severity of symptoms

7

• Tissue Repair and Regeneration
• MSCs differentiate into various cell types, such
  as muscle cells and other tissues
• Their regenerative abilities help in the repair
  of damaged tissues at the neuromuscular junction
• Tolerance Induction
• Research suggests MSCs contribute to induction of
  immune tolerance
• This helps reduce the immune systems unwarranted
  attack on healthy tissues

8

• Advantages of stem cell therapy
• Additional benefits of stem cell therapy for
  individuals suffering from myasthenia gravis
  include
• Better symptoms management
• Faster injury reversal
• Improved quality of life
• Enhanced everyday functionality
• Prevention of further nerve damage
• Speedy post-procedure recovery

• Stem cell therapy at Indias first ISO-Certified
  Stem Cell Research Center
• Plexus Neuro and Stem Cell Research Centre uses
  mesenchymal stem cells.
• The procedure is conducted by Dr. Sadiq, Indias
  no. 1 stem cell specialist, and his team of
  highly-skilled and experienced stem cell
  specialists.
