Stem Cell Mobilization
Hyperbaric oxygen can mobilise the body's own repair cells. Studies show HBOT releases bone-marrow stem cells into the circulation at rates up to eight times baseline, offering a possible mechanism for its regenerative effects. This is a research-stage observation rather than a standalone therapy.

Increase in circulating stem cells
Mechanism
Hyperoxia activates endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), which triggers stem cell mobilization from bone marrow niches. Increased circulating stem progenitor cells (SPCs) differentiate into various cell types to repair damaged tissues.
