Stem cell therapy brings new life to musculoskeletal regeneration

Written by

Dr Saw and colleagues use peripheral blood stem cells as a regenerative agent for three broad applications: articular cartilage, bone, and soft tissue.

Researchers Dr Khay-Yong Saw, Dr Caroline Jee, Ms Amal Dawam, and Ms Alisha Ramlan from the Kuala Lumpur Sports Medicine Centre, Malaysia, and Dr Adam Anz, Andrews Institute, Florida, USA, recently showed how stem cell therapy can be used as a pioneering treatment in articular regeneration of the knee. There is potential to apply this technology to other musculoskeletal damage […]
