Injecting Patients With Own Stem Cells to Save Legs – Video

It's estimated some 8-million Americans suffer from peripheral arterial disease - which slowly cuts off blood flow to the lower part of the legs. The condition - also known as "PAD" - is so devastating for some, that by the end of the day another 400 people in the US will lose a leg to amputation because of it. But doctors are now testing a new way to treat these patients - not with a breakthrough medicine or a new surgical technique...

Adivive (Lipokit) Autologous Fat Transfer with Adult Stem Cells – Video

Drs. Lewis Obi and John Murray appeared on WJXT morning show recently to discuss the innovative Adivive (Lipokit) Autologous Fat Transfer procedure. Adivive is the first FDA-approved medical device that collects and filters one's own fat for the use in cosmetic surgery and is especially ideal for breast cancer patients looking for breast reconstructive surgery

UF scientists devise way to sort brain cells for potential transplants – Video

University of Florida scientists have discovered a way to separate the neural wheat from the chaff during the process of generating brain cells for potential patient therapies. The technique, recently detailed in the online journal PLoS ONE, could be applied to long-awaited stem cell treatments for Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injuries and other brain disorders.
