Abstract
The success of stem cell and PRP treatments depends many times on the condition of the extra cellular matrix. The condition of the matrix can have has enormous implications on success or failure on Regenerative Medicine procedures. The matrix is many times a hostile environment of the stem cells. This hostility results in a large percentage of the stem cells (sometimes greater than 97%) perishing. This matrix can many times be manipulated to allow a greater percentage of stem cells surviving. This manipulation can be accomplished by the judicious use of certain supplements, cytokines and other modalities such as micro electrical stimulation and laser use. This talk will center on the use supplements, antioxidants and other modalities. The discussion will also center on free radicals and their mechanisms of causing damage on a cellular level. Also discussed will be certain cytokine pathways which have adirect effect on many orthopedic conditions.
