Stem cell therapy brings new life to musculoskeletal regeneration

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 […]

Stem cell-based cartilage regeneration technology

A collaborative group of scientists prove the efficiency and efficacy of using stem cell injections to help repair damaged cartilage in joints, having focused on knee joints in the clinical trial

Harnessing the regeneration ability of stem cells, researchers are making strides in the treatment of large cartilage defects of the knee. A collaborative team including Dr Khay-Yong Saw, Dr Reza Ng, Dr Caroline Jee (Kuala Lumpur Sports Medicine Centre, Malaysia), and Dr Adam Anz (Andrews Research and Education Foundation, Florida, USA) demonstrate the safety and efficacy of peripheral blood stem […]

Comparative semiotic perspectives: Designing “visual feasts” in food advertising

How semiotics work in advertising Semiotics is the study of signs, symbols, signification, and their forms of expression and content. Signs are recognisable codes or icons found in texts and visuals, with respective function to denote (represent literally) or connote (suggest meaning), the latter a relatively complex process (Crow, 2015). Semiotic analysis derives from the principle that signs bear, signify […]
