Stem cell therapy has long been a topic of excitement and speculation in medical science. The recent SDOMG + PSC Webinar, led by Dr. Chris Rogers and Dr. Bob Harmon, delved into the current state and future of stem cell therapy.
With decades of experience in human and veterinary medicine, these experts shed light on groundbreaking advancements and the promise these therapies hold for orthopedic conditions, arthritis, and beyond.
Understanding Stem Cells and Their Potential
Stem cells are the body’s natural repair system, found in virtually every tissue.
These cells respond to injuries and diseases by activating healing processes.
While embryonic stem cells have sparked ethical debates and are not used in clinical treatments, adult stem cells—especially those derived from fat tissue—are proving to be an effective and safe option for regenerative medicine.
The Challenges in Stem Cell Therapy
Despite the promise of stem cells, there are significant hurdles to their widespread adoption.
Many unregulated clinics worldwide offer unproven treatments, leading to severe complications for patients. FDA approval remains a key requirement in the U.S., ensuring that therapies are safe and effective before reaching the market.
Advancements in Stem Cell Research
Recent clinical studies demonstrate that adult stem cells can significantly aid in treating osteoarthritis and orthopedic conditions.
Notably, studies have shown cartilage regeneration and pain reduction following stem cell injections. In veterinary medicine, these therapies have been used for over two decades, successfully treating joint conditions in thousands of animals.
The Banking of Stem Cells for Future Use
A major takeaway from the webinar was the importance of banking stem cells while a person is still young and healthy.
With advancing age, stem cell numbers decline, making early banking a wise investment in future healthcare needs.
The personalized stem cell banking program allows individuals to store their stem cells, ensuring availability for potential future treatments.
The Road to FDA Approval
While stem cell therapy is widely used in other parts of the world, obtaining FDA approval in the U.S. requires rigorous testing.
Personalized Stem Cells, Inc. has been working toward regulatory approval, conducting clinical trials that demonstrate safety and efficacy.
The goal is to provide patients with access to high-quality, safe, and effective stem cell treatments for orthopedic conditions.
