Hemophilia B is a rare genetic bleeding disorder that prevents the body from naturally forming blood clots. When patients with hemophilia B undergo surgery or experience an injury, they typically bleed heavily for an extended period of time. Even in some more severe instances, patients...
Stanford University recently reported a groundbreaking discovery in stem cell research that demonstrates inactivated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to have promising potential in the development of new personalized vaccines and therapeutics for cancer patients. In this study as published in the journal, Cell Stem...
PRP, or Platelet Rich Plasma, is blood plasma with concentrated platelets. These concentrated platelets contain bioactive proteins, including growth factors that hold the potential to stimulate and speed up tissue repair and regeneration in connective tissues, bones, new blood vessels and accelerate the wound healing...
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological condition that is associated with movement-related issues. The condition develops gradually and symptoms experienced by the affected patient worsen as the disease progresses.

Platelets are blood cells that are rich in growth and healing factors and can initiate repair and healing. Platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a procedure in which platelet rich plasma (PRP) is injected into damaged or degenerating tissue to stimulate natural healing and repair. Here...
Stem cells are cells in the body that hold the potential of turning into many different types of cells. Stem cells can become cartilage, muscle, bone and other cells. SVF, or Stromal Vascular Fraction, is a combination of stem cells, other regenerative cells, and growth factors...
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a novel treatment where blood is drawn from a patient and then spun down using a centrifuge machine to divide the blood into its separate layers. These include the plasma where white cells are found, the buffy coat which includes...
Systemic lupus erythematosus, also simply referred to as lupus, is an autoimmune condition that can affect various tissues and organs of the body. An autoimmune condition is one where the body’s own immune system produces antibodies that attack and damage normal tissues and organs such...
Stem cells have been found to hold the potential to treat (even reverse) the effects of degenerative diseases like Osteoarthritis (OA). Osteoarthritis is a chronic joint condition that affects millions of Americans. Osteoarthritis is the result of the degeneration of the joint cartilage. When the cushioning...
Although its name would suggest so, degenerative disc disease isn’t actually considered a disease, as well as the fact that it isn’t even a progressively degenerative scenario. The process describes the natural breakdown of the intervertebral space of the spine. This can occur anywhere in...
