A “Fly Through” Of a Knee MRI: The Amazingly Complex Knee!

This week I sat down to review a patient’s knee MRI. The MRI itself was unusual as there were many more slices through the knee in all three planes (Side, Front, and Top Down). In fact, the MRI was in 1 mm slices, far thinner cuts than 99% of the studies I see. The image…read more

Stem Cell Aging: Young Blood Makes Old Mice Young Again

Stem cell aging has been a hot research topic for years. I’ve blogged before on how old stem cells are rejuvenated by being exposed to the stuff of youth (a young tissue). Now a multi-university research team has shown through multiple experiments over many years that exposing old mice to the blood of young mice…read more

The focus of the recent…read more

Regenexx Research Review: Regenexx-SD Candidacy for Knee Arthritis

Knee stem cell research has traditionally focused on lab studies. Even the few formal research studies out there using stem cells to treat knee arthritis have focused on a specific protocol and a very narrow subset of patients. We have one such study ongoing at our Chicago RegenexxNetwork provider’s site. Our daily data collection is…read more

More Colorado Regenexx Reviews: Upper Neck Pain and Headaches

This is one of the Colorado Regenexx reviews I really love. I first met AR in October of last year. She was a Colorado woman in her 50s who was an absolute mess-likely one of the lowest functioning patients I had ever seen. Her husband did the talking as she could barely communicate. Five weeks…read more
