Stem Cells & Platelet-Rich Plasma

Understanding the biology behind placental stem cells, PRP therapy, and FDA-approved delivery systems in regenerative orthopedics.

Placental Stem Cells

Placental stem cells communicate through signaling pathways remarkably similar to peptides. They release cytokines, growth factors, and exosomes that modulate local tissue repair and immune responses.

Unlike embryonic stem cells, placental-derived cells offer an ethically uncomplicated source with a broad signaling repertoire relevant to orthopedic repair.

Biomet GPS® PRP System

The Biomet GPS® (Gravitational Platelet Separation) system is FDA-cleared for the safe and rapid preparation of autologous platelet-rich plasma at the point of care.

By concentrating platelets and their associated growth factors from the patient's own blood, PRP therapy provides a physiologically natural approach to stimulating tissue regeneration.
