How stem cell therapy helped to nearly double Ryan’s life expectancy and allowed him to continue to pursue his passion as a musician, inspiring thousands worldwide fighting rare diseases

In 2008, our founder, Ryan Benton was 22 years old and reaching a critical stage in the progression of his terminal disease, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. With no viable treatment option available, we placed our last hope in Dr. Riordan’s offer to treat Ryan with Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy.  

Fortunately, the treatments worked, allowing him to produce dystrophin and reverse the progression of his disease for the first time ever. This made Ryan the first person with DMD to be successfully treated with stem cell therapy, paving the way for others. Over 14 years and 100+ treatments later, CTFAC helped give families around the world hope they could believe in.
