A new exciting treatment being used by pain management physicians, orthopedic surgeons, and neurologists is stem cell therapy. This treatment can benefit people with damaged, injured, or degenerative body joints, regions, structures, or tissues. Do stem cells grow into desired types of cells? Called mesenchymal stem cells...
A mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) is a type of adult stem cell (ASC). The main source of MSCs is the adult bone marrow. The cells are immersed in the stroma, and there is one MSC per 34,000 nucleated cells in the bone marrow. MSCs are...
