SIX TYPES OF REGENERATIVE MEDICINE

• Oftentimes, when people think about regenerative
  medicine they automatically think about stem cell
  therapy. While stem cell therapy is a type of
  regenerative medicine, and arguably the most
  well-known type of regenerative medicine, it is
  not the only form of regenerative medicine that
  exists in the world. Patients who have an
  understanding of the various types of
  regenerative medicine available to choose from
  often see the best results from their therapies.
  Below are six types of regenerative medicine that
  patients can benefit from.
• Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy
• Bone Marrow-Derived Cell Therapy
• Fat Derived Cell Therapy
• Amniotic Derived Cell Therapy
• Umbilical Cord Tissue Cell Therapy
• Exosome Therapy

• Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy

Platelet-rich plasma therapy uses the patients
blood, which is then centrifuged until there is a
concentrate of platelet-rich plasma. This
platelet-rich plasma is then injected into the
afflicted site. This procedure is particularly
effective for injured tendons, ligaments,
muscles, and joints. Platelets are a key
component of the healing process. When they are
concentrated in large amounts, they can help
speed up the healing process of an injury.

2. Bone Marrow-Derived Cell Therapy
Bone marrow-derived cell therapy is another form
of regenerative medicine. Bone marrow is the
birthplace of stem cells. Mesenchymal stem cells
are found in the bone marrow and are particularly
important for musculoskeletal regeneration. Bone
marrow is one of the richest sources of stem
cells in the entire adult body. Harvesting bone
marrow from a patient helps to ensure there will
be no risk of rejection while therapy is
administered.

3. Fat Derived Cell Therapy
Fat derived cell therapy involves taking stem
cells from adipose tissue. Recently, adipose was
found to be a great source of stem cells. In
addition, the procedure to harvest stem cells
from adipose tissue is much less invasive than
that of bone marrow-derived cell therapy.
Harvesting stem cells from adipose can take
longer. However, patients are able to use these
harvested cells at a later date.

4. Amniotic Derived Cell Therapy
Amniotic derived cell therapy involves taking
stem cells from amniotic fluid. This is done
during the C-section of a consenting mother. The
biologic is typically discarded. However, in this
case, blood can be taken from the amniotic fluid
and stem cells are separated out to be used on
patients later on.

5. Umbilical Cord Tissue Cell Therapy
During this therapy, regenerative biologics are
taken from tissue associated with the umbilical
cord. This can include the umbilical cord itself,
Whartons jelly, umbilical cord blood, and
placental membrane. Each of these biologics has
unique healing powers that help speed up the
healing process. When they are processed and
injected into an injured adult, they can help the
patient to heal better.

6. Exosome Therapy
Exosome therapy is the final type of regenerative
medicine. Exosomes are not a stem cell. Rather,
they are how cells communicate with one another.
Exosomes can be used to help promote healing in
certain areas of the body. Or, they can be used
as a means of drug delivery. While exosomes are
still not fully understood, there has been a lot
of buzz around exosomes in the scientific
community because of their implications for the
medical world in the future.
