S Why the Need?
S Limitations of surgical solutions
S Limited life span of current spine and orthopedic interventions
S Trend towards natural holistic solutions
S Interest in repair and restoration
S Positive animal, in vitro and in vivo studies Publication is growing Stem cell: Market Growth https://www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-analysis/reports/2019/10/17/ Comprehensive Spine and Sports Center

S BM- MSCs S AD- MSCs S IPSCs Allogenic
S Growing human cells outside the body
S Many tissues have some undifferentiated cells that will reproduce and grow in the right environment, and nutrients in the culture media
S Researchers are designing equipment to simulate the normal environment of the body
S Laboratory devices that do this are referred to as bioreactors iPSCs
Induced Pluripotent Stem cells are adult cells that have been genetically reprogrammed to an embryonic stem cell
S Mouse iPSCs were first reported in 2006, and human iPSCs were first reported in late 2007
S Human iPSCs also express stem cell markers and are capable of generating cells characteristic of all three germ layers
S iPSCs are useful tools for drug development and modeling of diseases especially cancer and transplantation
S Tissues derived from iPSCs are identical match to donor and thereby no rejection by the immune system.
S Additional research is needed and is underway. Common Clinical Biologics
S Platelet-rich Plasma
S BMC- MSCs
S ADC- MSCs
