Medicine On The Cutting Edge - Charles Glassman MD

Are there stem cell products available now to treat patients? Absolutely! C. Randal Mills, Ph.D. is President and Chief Executive Officer of Osiris Therapeutics. Osiris has several cutting edge products currently used for clinical applications. Their Ovation product is being used primarily in the orthopedic area for enhanced healing of bone injuries; however, some doctors are now successfully using it for joint arthritis and cartilage injury. A topical version of this product, called Grafix, is being utilized to treat difficult to heal wounds and burns. Another stem cell product, called Prochymal, has literally saved hundreds of children suffering Graft vs. Host disease as a result of bone marrow transplant.

Kristin Comella is the Chief Executive Officer at Stemlogix LLC, Chief Scientific Officer at Ageless Regenerative Institute, Chief Scientific Officer at Bioheart Inc. She is a leading expert in the clinical and research applications of stem cells. One does not need to use embryonic stem cells (the controversial type) to treat medical conditions. Our own stem cells and specialized ones from others can be used to do that. Such therapies exist now and in the next 5 – 10 years common orthopedic surgeries and the current treatment of many cardiac ailments will be obsolete.
