Read MoreAbove we can see an article that was published back in 2016 about Peripheral Blood Stem Cells. Peripheral blood stem cells are another name for Very Small Embryonic Like Stem Cells (V-cells). These cells continue to gain acceptance in scientific circles.

There is a continuing debate between using bone marrow aspirate in a non-centrifuged manner and using it in a manner where it is concentrated by centrifugation. Until recently bone marrow aspirate was essentially always concentrated. This question has generated much discussion and some heated debates…
Read MoreIS ALL FAT CREATED EQUAL? Fat is a very popular treatment modality in Regenerative Medicine. There have been many articles written about fat some condemning it as being far inferior to bone marrow aspirate while others give it the highest praise. The real question is where does fat (adipose tissue) lie on the Regenerative…
