He explained in an interview with “Sky News Arabia” that these seven countries are currently the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, Great Britain, Greece, Italy, China and Jordan.
He added that the great advantage of using stem cells is that they do not produce negative side effects in patients, unlike what happens when other chemical drugs are used, because “stem cells are authentic cells” in the body.
He noted that stem cell therapy works to stop or reduce the attack of the immune system in the human body by responding to infection, and the reason is that it leads to other problems and complications.
Stem cell therapy helps prevent the virus from reproducing in the human body and then replaces damaged tissues in the patient’s lungs.
Al-Zoubi explained that when the Corona virus enters the body through the mouth or nose and then reaches the lung, the body reacts strongly and there is a “storm” of proteins that the immune system secretes in a disorganized and It is not specialized in the virus.
Then, the fluid in the lung builds up causing shortness of breath, and the role of stem cell therapy is to control and calm this “exaggerated” response.
Dr. Al-Zoubi explained that this stem cell therapy stimulates blood circulation, in addition to strengthening the rest of the body. These cells need two conditions to achieve the desired results; The first is that they are taken from a safe source, and this is what happened in the case of Emirati treatment, because it is taken from the patient himself, so the body does not reject it.
The second condition is that it be prepared in the laboratory, according to certain conditions, which is also taken into account by UAE researchers, according to Al-Zoubi.
When Al-Zoubi was asked about the challenges facing the use of stem cells in treating a number of other diseases, he explained that the problem lies in the failure of decision makers in some countries to keep pace with progress. done in this area.
He stressed that science has made very significant progress in stem cell therapy over the past ten years, and the second challenge is ethical because some researchers are warning of the possibility of altering these cells or making them harmful.

This treatment was developed by a team of doctors and researchers at the Abu Dhabi Stem Cell Center, and the technique is to extract the stem cells from the patient’s blood and re-enter them after activation.
The patent was awarded for the innovative way in which stem cells are collected, according to the Emirates News Agency “WAM”.
According to the agency, treatment was attempted at home in 73 cases that recovered, and the test result appeared negative after the treatment was introduced into the lungs by inhaling it with a fine spray.
Its therapeutic effect is supposed to regenerate lung cells, modifying its immune response to prevent it from overreacting to the “Covid-19” infection and causing damage to healthier cells.
Promising treatment
Professor Admun Al-Zoubi, Professor of Immunology and Regenerative Medicine and Director of the Arab Center for Stem Cells, believes that this treatment adds to the UAE’s balance of scientific achievements, as it ranks it among the top seven countries in the world who began treating Corona patients through the use of stem cells.
He explained in an interview with “Sky News Arabia” that these seven countries are currently the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, Great Britain, Greece, Italy, China and Jordan.
