Regenerative medicine has made a splash in the world of medical treatments and over the years has gained a lot of popularity and publicity. Regenerative treatments combine many different fields of science from biology to computer sciences in the hopes of understanding and utilizing the...
The Regenerative Stem Cell Institute in Chicago strongly believes in the importance of platelet-rich plasma therapy. Platelet-rich plasma is a form of regenerative medicine from which many people can benefit. Stem cell therapy tends to take the limelight when discussing regenerative medicine techniques. As a...
Stem cell therapy has become very popular over the years. For years, there was a massive focus in the news about stem cells and their ability to harness the body’s natural healing powers and “work its magic.” However, in recent years, other biologics with strong...
PRP or Platelet Rich Plasma therapy is a regenerative treatment in which platelets are derived from the patient’s own blood and injected into various parts of the body, to stimulate natural healing and cell regrowth. Since PRP therapy is a relatively new treatment, there are many...
The meniscus is the knee cartilage that acts as a shock absorber and also protects the cartilage covering the top of the thigh bone and the shin bone. The meniscus is made of fibrocartilage, a fibrous bunch of collagen. When there is an injury to...
Did you know that the platelets in your blood not only aid clotting in case of an injury, but also facilitate healing? Platelets are a rich source of several natural growth factors that heal wounds, repair cartilage and promote bone and tissue regeneration. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)...
