Regenerative medicine
Regenerative medicine is an innovative field of healthcare focused on harnessing the body’s natural ability to heal and regenerate damaged tissues and organs. It involves using stem cells, tissue engineering, growth factors, and other techniques to promote healing and repair in conditions ranging from orthopedic injuries to chronic diseases.

I lecture around the country at various medical conferences every year. This weekend I was in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida sharing several new research studies from our research team at the TOBI orthobiologics conference. Let’s dig in. Basic Science in Orthobiologics Our lab research team works on several critical projects every year. In fact, as a…read more
Regenexx Snags Another Patent
Regenexx has been granted dozens of patents throughout the years. This week we received a Korean patent on devices that create platelet lysate for clinical use. Let’s dig in.

QC Kinetix Pricing: What Can We Learn from an Invoice?

Let’s dig in.…read more
Tony Robbins Life Force Review
I’ve been getting lots of emails lately about the Tony Robbins book “Life Force”.

In fact, patients come in with new things every day, so…read more
Is an In-Office Orthobiologics Lab a Good Thing?
There has been an explosion of in-office labs these past several years which like many things in orthobiologics, is something Regenexx pioneered. Sometimes doctors place pictures on Linkedin and I see stuff that’s glaringly bad. This brings up a point. If I can see things in the background of a Linkedin glamor post, what else…read more
Mesenchymal Stem Cell Research Continues To Increase
Short blog this morning. I’ve posted many times about how the year-over-year research on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) continues to increase. At some point, I expected this to level off, but that hasn’t happened yet. Let’s dig in. What is a Mesenchymal Stem Cell? If you’ve had a bone marrow concentrate procedure, this is believed…read more
Making Sure You Get the BMC Injection You Paid For…
