Read MoreObjective. To determine if supplemental intraarticular 2-macroglobulin (2M) has a chondroprotective effect in a rat model of osteoarthritis (OA).
Read MoreObjective: To determine whether single injections of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into symptomatic degenerative intervertebral disks will improve participant-reported pain and function.
Read MorePrior studies describing the treatment of symptomatic knee osteoarthritis with injections of bone marrow concentrate have provided encouraging results. The relationship between the cellular dose contained within the bone marrow concentrate and efficacy of the treatment, however, is unclear. In the present study we describe clinical outcomes for symptomatic knee osteoarthritis in relation to higher and lower cell concentrations contained within a bone marrow concentrate treatment protocol.
Read MoreSignificant biological differences in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) preparations have been highlighted and could explain the large variability in the clinical benefit of PRP reported in the literature. The scientific community now recommends the use of classification for PRP injection; however, these classifications are focused on platelet and leucocyte concentrations.

Read MoreHow Regenerative Medicine is Used To Treat Sports Injuries
If you have a sports injury that hasn’t healed from physical therapy or rest, regenerative medicine could be an option for you. Regenerative medicine treatments use functional tissues to repair or replace tissue or organ function loss due to age or damage. For sports injuries specifically, the goal is to reduce pain and improve function. Treatments include stem cell therapy, platelet rich plasma (PRP), prolotherapy, certain cartilage regeneration procedures and more.
