Bone marrow concentrate containing mesenchymal stem cells promotes tissue repair and regeneration by harnessing the body’s natural healing mechanisms. At Regenexx, concentrated orthobiologics—substances derived from a patient's bone marrow or blood—are used to address injuries, degenerative diseases, and other health issues. These treatments, delivered through image-guided injections, offer a non-surgical option for various conditions.

As I promised yesterday, for the first year ever, I have updated my orthopedic stem-cell-research infographic to include other stem cell sources outside of bone marrow. It’s exciting to finally have enough data on fat to believe that it will be a factor in what’s best for orthopedic patients. (Click here for a larger view)…read more
The Simplest Stem Cell Injection Route May Be the Most Risky
You would think that since an IV is the simplest and least invasive form of application of stem cells, it would also be the safest. However, many years ago, I was part of an organization that investigated some deaths in Asia related to IV stem cell infusions. Now a new study may explain why IV stem…read more Does Smoking Damage Stem Cells?

I opposed this because of some substantial differences in training…read more Knee Replacement After Stem Cell Treatment: How Often Does It Happen?
Do you have knee arthritis, and have you been told you need, or will soon need, a knee replacement? Perhaps you are considering a nonsurgical stem cell treatment instead but want to know what the chances are that you’ll still need to undergo a knee replacement after stem cell treatment. Most of our knee arthritis…read more Is It Legal to Get Cultured Stem Cells in the U.S.?
This past month, I had a reliable source tell me that two companies offering same-day fat stem cells have begun offering more. In fact, they are providing a culture-expanded stem cell product in the U.S. I’ve since been able to confirm this based on what’s appeared on the website owned by one of these groups and what…read more
