Platelet-rich plasma therapy is a form of regenerative medicine that is often overlooked by most people. Stem cell therapy often takes the spotlight when it comes to regenerative medicine options. While stem cell therapy is excellent and has a lot of potentials, platelet-rich plasma therapy also offers a lot of potential for patients suffering from various ailments, added Dr. David Greene Arizona . Platelet-rich plasma therapy in Scottsdale, Arizona can be of great help to many people who are not even aware of its benefits. Whether you are suffering from chronic knee pain, or simply want to look younger, platelet-rich plasma may be able to help you out. Platelet-rich plasma is made from blood. Plasma is the liquid part of the blood that is made up primarily of water and proteins. This is a key component of the blood because it allows red and white blood cells to move easily throughout the entire body, added Dr. David Greene . Platelets are the components in the blood that help it to c...

Every day, people ask R3 Stem Cell if the regenerative biologics being used in treatment come from aborted fetuses (ABSOLUTELY NOT). As a world leader in stem cell therapies with over a decade of experience in offering safe and effective treatment, it is very important for R3 to educate prospective patients and their families on where the biologics are obtained. So here’s the skinny on the cells.   First of all, R3 Stem Cell has never used aborted fetuses for any of the treatment biologics. There are several reasons for this: It’s an ethical issue. However one feels about using aborted fetuses for either stem cell research or treatment, no one can deny it’s a polarizing discussion. Fetal stemcells may not be safe. I’ll discuss this below. While R3 Stem Cell has never used aborted fetal tissue for treatment, there are International stem cell clinics that do include it in their protocols. Why??? Allow me to explain.   Stem cells are not all the same. There are actually 2 broad ...

Heart failure is a serious medical condition in which the heart is unable to effectively pump blood throughout the body for its normal function. It has a wide range of structural, electrical, or functional causes. Common causes include cardiomyopathy, hypertension, heart valve problems, and coronary artery disease. Treatment for various types of heart failure depends on its underlying cause and severity and may include a combination of lifestyle changes, medications, implantable devices, and surgical procedures. Despite major advances in medicine over the past decades, CHF therapy options are underwhelming in the results they produce, added Dr. David Greene Arizona . CHF is still related to unacceptably high death rates. Current CHF treatment may improve symptoms and signs, reduce heart failure-related hospital admissions, and above all to improve a patient's survival, but there is no definitive cure. Stem cell therapy for CHF: Stem cells are the body’s own pluripotent cells that a...

Cell-based therapies, specifically ones that involve mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) or extracellular vesicles, have become an effective tool in treating coronavirus. As multipotent and non-hematopoietic cells, MSCs can differentiate into various dermal lineages, added Dr. David Greene Arizona . Interestingly, they are present in different tissues of multiple sources that may range from many to fetal adult tissues.  Let’s plunge into the discussion to see what makes mesenchymal stem cells an excellent therapeutic strategy.   Mesenchymal Stem Cells A Therapeutic STrategy: As mesenchymal stem cells have proven benefits in regenerative medicines, they have become an excellent option to use as an effective cell-based therapy. It is because these powerful cells can regenerate and replace injured organs and tissues. However, there is no denying that the potential of MSCs is way beyond just offering tissue repair. They can deliver numerous positive outcomes and therapeutic utiliti...

Rheumatoid arthritis is a very common condition that affects many people throughout the United States. In fact, almost 23% of the population has been told at some point that they suffer from rheumatoid arthritis. It is a very painful condition that is considered a leading cause of work disability among adults in the United States, added Dr. David Greene Arizona . In addition, many people with rheumatoid arthritis find themselves limiting their social activities due to pain and experiencing a diminished quality of life. Fortunately, there are ways to manage rheumatoid arthritis and help improve a patient’s quality of life. Rheumatoid arthritis is considered an autoimmune disease. This is because it occurs when the body’s immune system attacks healthy joint linings. It tends to affect both sides of the body, not just one. And, in addition to affecting the body’s joints, other parts of the body may be affected as well such as the lungs, heart, skin, eyes, blood, and nerves. Many people wh...

Acute pancreatitis can cause a sudden onset of abdominal pain that does not go away over time. It can be caused by several factors, but the over usage of alcohol is a large contributor.  Dr. David Greene Arizona added that Stem cell therapy is now being explored as a treatment for patients suffering from acute pancreatitis pain.    What is Acute pancreatitis? - Acute pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas. It is painful, develops quickly, and can, in some cases, be fatal. Some mild cases resolve without treatment, but severe, acute pancreatitis can trigger potentially life-threatening complications. The mortality rate ranges from less than 5% to over 30%, depending on how severe the condition is and if it has reached other organs beyond the pancreas.  The pancreas is a long, flat gland located behind the stomach in the upper abdomen. It produces digestive enzymes and hormones, which regulate how the body processes glucose, for instance, insulin. The most co...

ALS disease is named after New York Yankee first baseman Lou Gehrig who developed it in 1939. More formally known as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), is a neurodegenerative disease of an unknown cause that is characterized by degeneration of motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. It often moves very quickly from weakness in limbs to progressive paralysis and eventually, respiratory failure added Dr. David Greene R3 Stem Cell CEO. It typically occurs in the forties through seventies. is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. It has been very difficult to find effective treatments for ALS. What are Stem cells? - Stem cells are the body’s own cells from which all other cells with specialized functions are generated. These daughter cells either become new stem cells or differentiate into specialized cells (blood cells, brain cells, heart muscle, etc.) There are several sources of stem cells: Embryonic stem cells : come from 3 – 5 days old embryos. These are...
