Medically Reviewed by Dr. Sunita Tandulwadkar | Written by ALIV

ALIV Regenerative Wellness, India’s first regenerative wellness and longevity clinic, has been pioneering autologous cell therapy (ACT) since 2015 under the direction of Dr. Sunita Tandulwadkar.

What Is Autologous Cell Therapy (ACT)?

Autologous means “from yourself.” ACT is a class of regenerative medicine in which cells are derived from the patient’s own biological material, processed under controlled conditions, and reintroduced to the same patient to trigger or augment natural repair.

How Does ACT Work?

Cells release signalling molecules (growth factors, cytokines, exosomes) that instruct the local tissue environment to reduce inflammation, recruit the body’s own repair cells, and create conditions favourable for regeneration.

Conditions Treated at ALIV

Joint conditions (osteoarthritis), metabolic conditions (type 2 diabetes, fatty liver), neurological conditions (Parkinson’s, stroke recovery), respiratory conditions (COPD), and reproductive medicine (ovarian rejuvenation).
