Autism Stem Care was founded with a clear mission: to give families of children with autism honest, transparent access to advanced regenerative medicine inside a calm, scientifically rigorous clinical environment.
We are not a general stem cell clinic. We focus exclusively on autism and related neurodevelopmental conditions — because depth of expertise matters more than breadth of services when a child's development is on the line.
Our Mission
Every child deserves the opportunity to reach their fullest potential. Emerging regenerative therapies — mesenchymal stem cells, exosomes and supportive immunomodulation — may play an important role in supporting that journey when they are designed and delivered responsibly.
We serve families from over 40 countries, bringing them to a clinic in Istanbul that has been built specifically around the needs of children on the autism spectrum: sensory-aware spaces, multilingual coordination, and protocols refined for paediatric neurology rather than adapted from adult medicine.
What Sets Us Apart
The regenerative medicine landscape is crowded with clinics offering stem cell therapy for dozens of conditions. We believe this broad approach limits the depth of expertise a clinic can develop.
- Concentrated expertise in the biological factors associated with autism — neuroinflammation, immune dysregulation, gut-brain axis dysfunction, oxidative stress and mitochondrial impairment.
- Treatment protocols specifically designed for children on the autism spectrum, not adapted from protocols built for other conditions.
- Sensory-aware clinic environment designed in consultation with paediatric occupational therapists.
- International coordinators who understand the practical realities of travelling with a child who has ASD.
- Continuous review of autism-specific regenerative medicine literature to keep protocols current.
Every treatment plan is individually designed from a comprehensive review of medical history, developmental assessments, laboratory results and family goals.
Our Approach to Medicine
We are not here to make promises we cannot keep. We are here to provide the most honest, transparent and evidence-informed guidance possible. Our approach rests on four principles: scientific rigour, deep personalisation, radical transparency and genuine compassion.
Scientific rigour means our protocols are informed by published research on MSCs, exosomes and their applications in neurodevelopmental conditions — not by marketing claims. Personalisation means every child's biology and history shape their plan. Transparency means we discuss limitations as openly as benefits. Compassion means every interaction with our team reflects real care for your family.
Our Team and Clinic
Our medical team includes physicians, researchers and clinical coordinators with specialised expertise in regenerative medicine, neurodevelopmental conditions and international patient care.
The clinic operates within accredited medical facilities equipped with modern treatment rooms, monitoring capabilities and a comfortable environment designed for families travelling with children. Sensory-sensitive design choices — lighting, acoustics, layout — were made specifically for children on the spectrum.
Our Commitment to Families
Choosing to pursue stem cell therapy abroad for your child is one of the most significant decisions you will make as a parent. We do not take that trust lightly. From the quality of our cell products to the warmth of our patient interactions, every aspect of our service is built around earning and maintaining the trust of the families we serve.

About Autism Stem Care — Frequently Asked Questions
Autism Stem Care was founded to address a specific gap in the regenerative medicine landscape: the need for a clinic focused exclusively on autism and related neurodevelopmental conditions. Our team brings years of combined experience in regenerative medicine, anesthesiology, intensive care and international paediatric coordination.
Our team includes physicians with formal specialty training, including Dr. Cihan Bolat — a board-certified Specialist in Anesthesiology and Reanimation registered with the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Health, with 19+ years of clinical practice and Ministry-approved certifications in mesotherapy and ozone therapy.
Our primary specialisation is autism spectrum disorder and related neurodevelopmental conditions. We evaluate each case individually during the consultation to determine whether our protocols may be appropriate.
Our medical team monitors published research on MSC therapy, exosome therapy, neuroinflammation and immune modulation in autism, and refines protocols as evidence evolves.
