"Typically autologous stem cells are obtained from the patient by harvesting from the bone marrow or fat tissue. This is then processed to be injected into the area that is injured. This has been a successful treatment for professional athletes. This system can be expensive and invasive.
What tissue could have more potential for healing and tissue regeneration than the tissue of a newborn? Placentas taken after C-sections are processed and certified disease-free. These cells are mixed with platelet rich plasma and injected into the injury site. It"s less expensive, non invasive and the best method for patients over 40 years of age. Stem cells taken from the patient"s fat or bone marrow are fewer and have less vitality in middle-aged and elderly patients."
