Go straight to the sources for your biggest stem cell therapy questions.

Peer Reviewed Studies

Enclosed is a long list of peer reviewed studies which have been used to help formulate our cell based therapies and comprehensive customized programs.

A peer reviewed study is one which has been reviewed by peers in a directly correlated area of medicine or science, and is similar to submitting a term essay to an entire staff of teachers specializing in the topic of the essay prior to the essay being viewed by the public. The process of peer reviewing prevents authors from publishing content of scientific nature which may not adhere to a strict standard.

Although the following is not an exhaustive list of the information we used, it is the basis of our theories. Each section is grouped by similar topics used to answer questions about the use of specific treatments of cell therapies. You may notice that there are some papers which are repeated; this is due to the crossover of information from one topic to the other.   

These studies are intended to provide you with a body of scientific knowledge; even so, readers must consider that we are providing a one-sided review of results, and are not providing you with studies which contain a negative or neutral result.

In addition, new supporting and conflicting studies may appear daily, and we are only presenting from the body of literature available at the time of the development of this website.  It is suggested that readers perform their own review of the scientific literature.
