Why Stem Cells? Why PRP? Why Stem Cells and PRP? |
Why Stem Cells?It is a repair cell. Sitting quiescently in bone marrow, tooth enamel, adipose (fat) tissues and other places in the body, these cells “wake up” upon receiving signals related to injury—inflammation. Their function is to begin the cascade of healing when the human body is injured. So, when the human body sustains an injury, the adult stem cells “wake up,” move through the body to the site of injury, express proteins to down-regulate inflammation, express other proteins to stimulate new cell cycles, recruit new growth factor proteins and then, themselves, begin to change into the very cells that have been damaged. Throughout this process, these cells are giving and receiving signals with the surrounding environment. This is an extremely important aspect and one of the central discoveries regarding stem cells and what differentiates them from any other cell. We do not believe that an amount of cells injected at the same day procedure is sufficient to replace damaged tissue, like cartilage. However, it’s healing and stimulating effect at the site of injection is proven and our procedure in fact based specifically for this.
