What is stem cell therapy? Stem cells are the bodys repair cells. They have the ability to divide and differentiate into many different types of cells based on where they are needed throughout the body. Stem cells can divide and turn into tissues such as skin, fat, muscle, bone, cartilage, and nerve to name a few. They even possess the ability to replicate into organs such as the heart, liver, intestines, pancreas, etc.

What are the different types of stem cells? There are two basic types of stem cells; embryonic and somatic (adult). Embryonic stem cells are found in the placenta and embryo. These cells are called totipotent, which means they have the ability to reproduce into any mature cell type. While embryonic stem cells offer the greatest potential in healing, there are obviously moral and ethical concerns in harvesting these cells.

The second type of stem cell is the adult stem cell. These stem cells are called multipotent, which means they can differentiate into closely related cell lines, but they are not capable of creating a complete organ. Adult stem cells are found in the bone marrow, adipose tissue (fat), skin, liver, blood vessels, and neurons. Contrary to embryonic stem cells, there are no moral or ethical concerns in harvesting these cells, activating them, and reintroducing them back to the patient in areas where healing and regeneration is needed.

So why do we take the cells from adipose (fat) tissue? Adult stem cells are highly concentrated in the fat tissue. There are 50 to 1,000 times more stem cells in the fat than the bone marrow. At this concentration, it is no longer necessary to culture the stem cells to acquire the necessary cell numbers to make a healing impact. The procedure to extract fat from the patient is much quicker and less invasive than a spay. The stem cells are contained within a pool of cells in the fat termed the Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF). The SVF may impart anti-inflammatory effects, add bioactive peptides, and contribute to reformation and architectural organization. These are benefits lost once stem cells are cultured.

So what can we do with the stem cells? Adult stem cells are capable of dividing into many different cell types. With this capability, we can use them as a treatment for joint injuries, ligament and tendon damage, and fractured bones. Research and clinical trials currently support the use of stem cells in these conditions. Ongoing research is targeting other areas of the body for treatment and the preliminary results are very encouraging.

So what makes MediVet Americas technology better? With our patented LED technology and by incorporating Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) the same treatment used by many sports professionals, Veterinary Stem Cell, Stem Cell Therapy for Pets, Adipose Stem Cell Therapy, Platelet Rich Plasma Horses, Adipose Stem Cell Treatment, Platelet Rich Plasma Dogs is able to acquire the most living stem cells of any company currently offering this technology. If your beloved pet is going to have to endure the surgical procedure, we want to make sure they are going to get the most out of it! Veterinary Stem Cell, Stem Cell Therapy for Pets, Adipose Stem Cell Therapy, Platelet Rich Plasma Horses, Adipose Stem Cell Treatment, Platelet Rich Plasma Dogs also offers Cryobanking, where you can store extra cells from the procedure for future use.

So how will the procedure work? The day of the procedure, the veterinarian will anesthetize your pet. They will surgically remove a couple tablespoons of fat. This is a quick and simple procedure that is generally easier than performing a spay. They will then process the fat to remove the stem cells. Processing generally takes a couple of hours. After the stem cells have been collected, your pet will generally be sedated and the stem cells will be administered into the affected joints and/or into the bloodstream. It is important that you do not feed your pet the night before the procedure.

When will I see results? We expect you to see results! While we know every animal is different and there are no guarantees, we have seen positive clinical improvement in 95% of the arthritic cases performed nationwide. Some owners have even reported seeing a difference in as little as a week! While quick results are possible, we expect you to begin seeing improvement within the first 90 days following treatment. Really bad arthritis may require multiple injections, so banking your extra cells is always a good idea!

Is this procedure safe? As with any procedure that involves anesthesia, there is always a risk. However, the stem cells are coming from your pet and are being re-administered back to your pet. There is no risk of an allergic reaction. In rare casesthere might be a mild immune reaction in the injected joint that should subside within a day or two.

Human stem cell research: all viewpoints – Religious Tolerance

Stem cells are a special form of human life: they are alive and contain human DNA. They have a unique feature in that they can be coaxed into developing into some or all of the 220 cell types found in the human body. Eventually, stem cells may be routinely used by doctors to generate new organs or new replacement body parts for people: They might become a new pancreas to cure a person with diabetes, or new nerve cells to cure a paralized person, etc.

There are three types of stem cells:

The National Institutes of Health web site states:

"To realize the promise of novel cell-based therapies for such pervasive and debilitating diseases, scientists must be able to manipulate stem cells so that they possess the necessary characteristics for successful differentiation, transplantation, and engraftment. The following is a list of steps in successful cell-based treatments that scientists will have to learn to control to bring such treatments to the clinic. To be useful for transplant purposes, stem cells must be reproducibly made to:

Also, to avoid the problem of immune rejection, scientists are experimenting with different research strategies to generate tissues that will not be rejected.

To summarize, stem cells offer exciting promise for future therapies, but significant technical hurdles remain that will only be overcome through years of intensive research."

He remained in Seattle where he graduated at the top of his class and earned his Medical Degree from the University of Washington School of Medicine. Dr. Tsujimura initiated his postgraduate training at the Oregon Health Sciences University (University of Oregon) in Portland, Oregon where he did his internship in General Surgery. He then moved to Phoenix where he finished his residency in General Surgery. During this time he became Chief Resident of the Burn Unit and then Chief Resident of Surgery in his last year of training. He was given various awards during his training, but the most meaningful was the distinction made by the Chairman of Surgery/Program Director and Mentor: Ive been training surgeons for over a decade, youre the best surgeon Ive been fortunate enough to train. Certified by the American Board of Surgery, Dr. Tsujimura took an Attending Trauma Surgeon at Maricopa County Hospital. This gave him the opportunity to give back to the community and to teach future surgeons. To help influence the surgeons of tomorrow. During this time, he also entered practice and joined the staff of the Scottsdale Healthcare System performing general and vascular operations. Dedicated to patient care, he rapidly became the surgeon to turn to in a time of need. In the continued pursuit to perfect his skills, Dr. Tsujimura took an educational leave from a busy practice to obtain still further training at the Nationally Accredited by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and RRC (Residency Review Committee), Plastic/Reconstructive and Hand Surgery program at the University of Tennessee. While there, he published and lectured on various topics in Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery. He also became Administrative Chief Resident. Even during his training in plastic surgery, because of his surgical experience he was frequently called to the operating room by staff surgeons in times of crisis.
