Distilling a bunch of scientific lab data into one page for patients can be tough. Having said that, it’s also helpful to have a summary of the information that we use to base our clinical decisions in a format patients can easily digest. Hence, I’ve been trying to get our published, yet to be submitted,…read more
Dr. Centeno Presenting at TOBI Conference on Stem Cell Response to Various PRP Preps
Dr. Centeno will be presenting this morning on stem cell response to various PRP preps, specifically on in-vitro data showing that bloody PRP reduces human stem cell response while bloodless PRP maximizes that response at the TOBI Conference in Los Angeles. In addition, he will also present data showing that super concentrated platelet rich plasma preps continue to stimulate stem cell…read more
What the Heck is the Knee Coronary Ligament and What does that Have to do with Stem Cells?
Can an knee stem cell injection of her own stem cells help an unstable meniscus? What is an unstable meniscus and why should you care? LJ is a middle aged woman who loves yoga and running, but was diagnosed with a displaced medial meniscus tear in 2009. She underwent meniscus repair surgery and three months later she…read more
Can we Engineer a better PRP to promote Orthopedic Healing?
I’ve blogged before on our efforts to engineer a better PRP for our patients. One big concern has been that most bedside machines producing mass produced PRP produce a very blood contaminated PRP. PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma-a concentrate of your blood platelets used to help heal orthopedic injuries. Most of what’s used by physicians comes…read more
Dr. Centeno and Dr. Hanson Present Stem Cell and Platelet Data at Conferences
Dr. Centeno and Dr. Hanson present stem cell and platelet data at conferences… Dr. Centeno spent the weekend presenting our low back disc stem celldata at the American Association of Orthopedic Medicine conference in Ft. Lauderdale. This included an announcement of a new randomized controlled trial that will begin this summer/fall to further test the technology. Dr. Hanson…read more
Platelet Rich Plasma-Can you get a Better Result through Higher Platelet Concentration?
I’ve blogged before on the problems with bedside machine made PRP-namely too much blood contamination. Another issue is platelet concentration. Some PRP machine makers tout their ability to get platelet concentrations as high as 11X over baseline, while others say that too many platelets that can cause cells to be inhibited. Since the goal of…read more
