The Magic of
Stem Cells
Stem cells are specialized cells within your body that have the amazing ability to transform into a number of different tissues as well as into more stem cells.
If your heart muscle is damaged, stem cells can morph into healthy new heart cells.
If your knee cartilage is damaged, stem cells can transform into fresh new cartilage and heal the damage.
It’s the same with every tissue in your body. When a problem arrives, stem cells can often fix it.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells
The Universal Power of Stem Cells
Picture mesenchymal stem cells as the repair team that lives within your body. While there are several potential sources, the stem cells that come from your fat are the most plentiful and the most potent. Scientists call them multipotent because they can repair multiple different types of tissue.
They can self-renew, repair and build many of the types of cells you are likely to need over the course of a lifetime of ordinary wear and tear.
Ongoing research continues to explore the broad potential of MSCs in supporting and maintaining health, with clinical studies underway to better understand their full capabilities.
