[StemCells] Non-surgical relief to chronic tendon problems

New Non-Surgical Stem-Cell Procedure to Relieve Chronic Tendon
Problems


Coloradoans sought for study

DENVER, Jan. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Regenerative Sciences, Inc.,
creator of the Regenexx(TM) procedure that uses a patient's own stem
cells to regenerate bone and cartilage, has announced a new clinical
study using its patent pending processes to treat tendon injuries.

The company is recruiting patients with moderate to severe tennis
elbow, partial rotator cuff tears or Achilles tendon tears, and
moderate to
severe plantar fasciitis. This study has been sanctioned by an
independent research review board and involves using the patient's
own stem cells to repair and strengthen these tissues.

"We have evidence from large animal models that our stem cell
procedure may help heal these chronic tendon problems without the
need for surgery," said Chris Centeno, M.D., creator of Regenexx and
an international expert and specialist in musculoskeletal, spinal and
neurological injury.

To be considered for the Regenexx tendon study, please email
Regenexx@rsihealth.net. All costs directly related to the study will
be covered by the company.

The study involves harvesting the patient's own mesenchymal stem
cells, growing them in a culture using the company's patent pending
procedure, and then injecting these culture expanded cells into an
area in need of repair.

Repair of the degenerated or injured area usually takes place in
two to three months, and many patients feel better in one to three
months.
