Cells in the lungs are also some of the first to encounter the virus, since the primary form of transmission is thought to be breathing in droplets after an infected person has coughed or sneezed.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why it was necessary to upgrade Stem Cell Neurotherapy for COVID-19 by adding T-Cells, B-Cells, and Natural Killer Cells to the arsenal. It was not enough to just regenerate new lung cells to replace the lung cells infected by COVID-19, but the COVID-19 Virus Cells had to be attacked and destroyed in order to prevent them from invading and infecting the newly regenerated lung cells.<\/p>\n<p>So, that\u2019s where the idea of using T-Cells, B-Cells, and Natural Killer Cells, usually used in attacking cancer cells, came from.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Promising results from a very small study caused shares of stem cell stocks to soar, but investors shouldn\u2019t get too carried away just yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new coronavirus invades the body through a spike protein that lives on the surface of virus cells.
