A caring, diagnosis-led program for patients and families

Stem cell therapy for Alzheimer's disease in Istanbul, Turkey

How our Istanbul memory-care team confirms your diagnosis, protects standard treatment, and offers honest, well-supervised cell therapy support.

Condition-specific editorial anatomy. Explanatory labels remain in accessible text.

Evidence position

What is known, what is investigational, and what is not demonstrated

Care foundation

Careful, evidence-aware supportive program

We screen for treatable contributors to cognitive symptoms — medication, mood, sleep, metabolic, and sensory issues — before anything else.

Research boundary

We explain what each route can realistically do

Anti-amyloid medicines are separate from cell therapies, and we keep your specialist eligibility and monitoring intact.

Claim check

We match claims to the product

Results vary between patients and stem cell therapy is not a guaranteed cure — we are honest about this from your first consultation.

Direct answer

What the current evidence says

Our physicians start with a confirmed dementia diagnosis, your current treatment, and your family's goals before discussing any cell therapy option. Early human research on specific products is encouraging enough to keep studying, but it does not support promises of memory reversal, and we won't make any. What we offer is a carefully supervised, transparently explained program built around your safety and comfort. Request your free medical evaluation to talk it through with our team.

Clinical map

Start with the diagnosis, stage, and treatment context

We begin every review with a verified dementia diagnosis, your standard treatment, and your caregivers' goals before naming any product.

Established care comes first

  • Memory-clinic evaluation: We rely on informant history, cognitive and functional testing, examination, MRI, and targeted labs.
  • Evidence-based treatment: We keep cholinesterase inhibitors, memantine, and any eligible disease-modifying options active during your program.
  • Daily-life support: Sleep, hearing, vision, exercise, safety, and caregiver wellbeing are all part of your Istanbul plan.
  1. 01

    Syndrome

    We help clarify mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer's dementia, mixed dementia, or another cause with your treating specialist.

  2. 02

    Biologic confirmation

    When appropriate, amyloid and tau biomarkers, MRI, and blood or CSF testing sharpen your diagnosis and options.

  3. 03

    Stage and support

    We plan around function, behavior, medication safety, caregiver capacity, and comfort — not just a test score.

Evidence ledger

Read the actual study, including the result that did not change

Each row keeps product identity, route, endpoint, and limitation together so one trial cannot become a generic treatment claim.

  1. 01

    Allogeneic bone marrow MSC phase 1 study

    Open source
    Product
    Single allogeneic bone marrow-derived MSC product
    Route
    Intravenous infusion
    Design
    Small randomized, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation trial
    Finding
    The study primarily supported short-term safety and feasibility assessment, not clinical efficacy.
    Limitation
    Small sample, early phase, exploratory biomarkers, and no basis for claims of cognitive improvement or disease slowing.

Product and route

A mechanism is not a clinical outcome

  1. 01

    We explain what each route can realistically do

    Intravenous, intrathecal, and intranasal delivery differ in biodistribution and risk, and we walk you through the honest limits of each.

    BoundaryEvidence applies only to the studied product, population, dose, route, comparator, and endpoint.

  2. 02

    We match claims to the product

    Bone marrow MSCs, cord MSCs, and exosomes are different products, and your evaluation names exactly which one is being proposed.

Outcomes before travel

Decide what meaningful change would look like

A baseline and a time point matter more than an isolated testimonial. These measures should be chosen before any intervention.

  2. 02

    Instrumental and basic daily function

  3. 03

    Neuropsychiatric symptoms and caregiver burden

    Falls, hospitalization, and medication effects

  5. 05

    Biomarkers only when clinically justified

Specialist review

What a complete Istanbul review needs

How our Istanbul memory-care team confirms your diagnosis, protects standard treatment, and offers honest, well-supervised cell therapy support.

Records and baseline

  • Memory specialist diagnosis and stage
  • MRI and biomarker reports when available
  • Medication list, sleep, hearing, mood, and vascular risk
  • Baseline cognitive and daily-function measures
  • Caregiver availability, consent capacity, and travel tolerance

Safety and planning checks

  • We never ask you to pause dementia medicines or a diagnostic pathway for an experimental option.
  • Your Istanbul plan names who can consent, who accompanies the patient, and how any change in behavior will be handled.
  • We track outcomes that matter to your daily life, not isolated lab markers.

Transparent planning

FAQ

Questions patients ask before an Istanbul review

We won't claim that. Early studies look at specific products and safety, not reliable neuron replacement, and we'll always tell you plainly where the evidence stands.
