Recent news articles, studies and statistics in the areas of regenerative medicine, new treatments such as platelet rich plasma, viscosupplementation and stem cell therapy
States Take Legislative Action to Increase Access to Stem Cell Therapies
The use of stem cells in scientific research and clinical application has been a “hot button” topic since Molly the Sheep was born of genetic cloning July 5th, 1996. Since then we have seen the field of genetics and stem cell therapy drastically expand worldwide. We...
Engineering Brown Adipose Derived Stem Cells
Researchers have demonstrated the potential to engineer brown adipose tissue, which has therapeutic promise to treat metabolic diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes, from white adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs).
Reprogramming Human Stem Cells-Scientific Daily Report
Molecular roadmap of human stem cells – Human embryonic stem cells can exist in two different states that are termed naïve (the ground state) and primed (the state before differentiation into a specialized cell).
Lungs May Be a Fermentation Chamber for Cells
The researchers who authored the new study were trying to determine how platelets traveled around the body. It is absolutely amazing that in 2017 we’re still discovering major things about the body that we did not know.
Network Focusing on Stem Cell Clinical Trials
A Clinical Trial Network Focused on Stem Cell Treatments is Expanding California is one of the world-leaders in advancing stem cell research towards treatments and cures for patients with unmet medical needs. California has scientists at top universities and companies...
Viscosupplement Comparison to Other Protocols for Knee OA
Viscosupplementation is ideal for people who have mild to moderate OA of the knee, especially useful for people who have not responded to other OA treatments.
Relief for Osteoarthritis with Stem Cell Therapy
Unlike cortisone shots, [with Stem Cell Therapy] there are no side effects. The pain relief [in the treated knee]has so far lasted up to a year.
Significant Market Growth Predicted in Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
The global platelet rich plasma (PRP) market is projected to witness a year-over-year growth rate of 11.8% in 2016 over 2015 to reach US$ 224.0 Mn in revenues.
Study: Women Knee Osteoarthritis Indicated By Weak Thigh Muscles
Thigh Muscle Weakness Predicts Knee Osteoarthritis in Women Only Key clinical point: Poor thigh muscle strength predicts knee osteoarthritis in women, but not in men. Major finding: Weaker thigh muscle significantly increased the risk of incident knee osteoarthritis...
Regenerative Medicine Market Outlook
In 2015, North America accounted for the largest revenue share of global regenerative medicine (bone & joints) market, representing a market value of US$ 2,039.8 Mn.
Treating ACL With Stem Cell to Avoid Surgery
Can an ACL Stem Cell Shot Replace Surgery? The single biggest MRI result that we see day in and day out that never ceases to amaze me is a postinjection image after stem cells have been injected into a trashed ACL. While the images look fantastic, usually showing ACLs...
Misinformation Regarding Stem Cells
The gap between the general public’s understanding of embryonic stem cell biology and the reality of that research came into focus for me.…
