Bioage / BioAge (Mediland Stem Cell Therapy Center)

Mediland Stem Cell Therapy Center is a private regenerative medicine facility established in 2004 in Kyiv, Ukraine. The center operates through 26 medical branches and a clinical gateway in Sofia, Bulgaria. In 2020, it opened a specialized laboratory in Graz, Austria, focused on genetic engineering and tissue fragments.### Quality and Safety StandardsThe clinic manages a cryobank with over 10,000,000 stem cell samples and regenerative biologics. Quality systems follow **ISO 9001:2015** certification, with independent audits by TÜV Rheinland / LGA InterCert. The team includes 150 in-house doctors who participate in international research through memberships in:

• International Society for Cell & Gene Therapy (ISCT)
• International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR)
• International Placenta Stem Cell Society (IPLASS)
• International Federation of Placental Research Associations (IFPA)

Staff members have authored over 300 scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals.

### Regenerative NeurologyThe neurology department performs 700 stem cell treatments annually. Dr. Taras Petriv leads the team. He holds a PhD in neurosurgery and has published 23 scientific works, including patents for neural regeneration.The clinic reports measurable improvement in 60–80% of stroke patients within 12 months. For Parkinson's disease, 40–64% of patients see motor symptom improvement. Another 65–70% experience disease stabilization.Regenerative protocols cover several neurological conditions:

• Multiple sclerosis (relapsing-remitting and progressive forms)
• Peripheral neuropathy (diabetic, chemotherapy-induced, and autoimmune)
• Parkinson's disease and atypical Parkinsonism
• Spinal cord injury and chronic spinal pain
• Dementia and age-related neurodegeneration

For peripheral neuropathy, 50–70% of patients report reduced pain and improved balance after therapy.

### Urology and GynecologyDr. Yuri Sernyak leads the urology direction. He has performed over 14,000 treatments and was the first surgeon in Ukraine to perform laparoscopic prostatectomy for prostate cancer. The department offers staged recovery protocols for chronic prostatitis and erectile dysfunction. These include a 2–4 week anti-inflammatory phase, then a 1–3 month tissue repair phase.Dr. Julia Zheltonozhskaya heads gynecology, focusing on reproductive longevity. She has 18 years of experience and performs over 450 surgical interventions yearly. The department provides regenerative programs for:

• Ovarian rejuvenation and activation
• Diminished ovarian reserve
• Premature ovarian aging
• Male infertility, including acquired azoospermia

Patients with azoospermia may undergo stem cell therapy before testicular sperm extraction (TESE).

### Laboratory TechnologyMediland runs an on-site PCR Laboratory and Biosafety Control unit for molecular screening. This facility performs **real-time PCR testing** for HIV-1/2, HBV, HCV, and HSV-1/2. The Graz laboratory operates under GMP and GLP standards. It develops skin regeneration constructs and liver tissue segments. Each cell batch undergoes viability assessment and genetic stability testing before transplantation.### Services for International PatientsInternational patients receive coordinated care through the Sofia center and the Kyiv facility. Most packages include 4-star or 5-star hotel accommodation and local travel assistance. The clinic reviews medical records and offers online consultations to develop treatment plans before arrival.Support services include:

• Invitation letters and visa document processing
• Airport pickup and transfers
• One year of medical follow-up after treatment
• Hotel accommodation recommendations

Treatment programs typically last 2–3 days, depending on the diagnostic and injection protocol.
