Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) hold great promise as therapeutic agents in regenerative medicine. Numerous animal studies have documented the multipotency of MSCs, showing their capabilities for differentiating into orthopedic tissues such muscle, bone, cartilage, and tendon. However, safety culture expanded MSC's human use has only just begun to be reported.Between 2006 2010, two groups patients were treated various conditions with culture-expanded, autologous, bone marrow-derived MSCs...

Introduction. We investigated the use of autologous bone marrow concentrate (BMC) with and without an adipose graft, for treatment knee osteoarthritis (OA). Methods. Treatment registry data patients who underwent BMC procedures graft were analyzed. Pre- posttreatment outcomes interest included lower extremity functional scale (LEFS), numerical pain (NPS), a subjective percentage improvement rating. Multivariate analyses performed to examine effects type adjusting potential confounding...

The purpose of the present investigation is to report on detailed complications among a much larger group 2372 orthopaedic patients treated with stem cell injections who were followed in treatment registry for up nine years. All underwent an MSC-based, percutaneous injection condition between December 2005 and September 2014 at one 18 clinical facilities. Treated areas body included knee, hip, ankle/foot, hand/wrist, elbow, shoulder, spine. prospectively via enrollment registry. Patients...

Degenerative disc disease (DDD) is a common cause of lower back pain with radicular symptoms and has significant socioeconomic impact given the associated disability. Limited effective conservative therapeutic options result in many turning to surgical alternatives for management, which vary rate success also carry an increased risk morbidity mortality procedures. Several animal based studies few human pilot have demonstrated safety suggest efficacy treatment DDD mesenchymal stem cells...

The native envelope (Env) spike on the surface of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is trimeric, and thus trimeric Env vaccine immunogens are currently being explored in preclinical immunogenicity studies. Key challenges have included production purification biochemically homogeneous stable trimers evaluation these utilizing standardized panels for neutralization assays. Here we report binding neutralizing antibody (NAb) responses elicited by clade A (92UG037.8) C (CZA97.012) gp140...

Prior studies describing the treatment of symptomatic knee osteoarthritis with injections bone marrow concentrate have provided encouraging results. The relationship between cellular dose contained within and efficacy treatment, however, is unclear. In present study we describe clinical outcomes for in relation to higher lower cell concentrations a protocol. Data from an ongoing patient registry was culled identify 373 patients that received 424 osteoarthritic joints. scales these were...
