In the previous years, a lot of work has been done to isolate the bone marrow-derived stem cells. These are also known as "mesenchymal stem cells", because they come from the mesodermal section of your body. They can differentiate into bone and cartilage, and probably all other mesodermal, as fat, connective tissue, blood vessels, muscles and nervous tissue.

Stem cells from bone marrow can be extracted and yet because they are small in number, they are usually grown or cultured in order to increase their number for future use. As it turns out, fat is also loaded with mesenchymal stem cells. Actually, there are hundreds if not thousands of times more stem cells from the fat than in the bone marrow.

While most stem cell treatment centers in the world are still using stem cells from the bone marrow, which is an older technology and yields less stem cells, we, on the other hand are using the revolutionary fat derived stem cells.

Recent technological advances now allow us to use adipose (fat) derived stem cells. Autologous stem cells of a person are easy and safe to harvest under local anesthesia and are abundant in quantities up to 2,500 times higher than seen in the bone marrow.

Nowadays, we have tools which allow us to separate the stem cells from the fat, and since most people have an adequate supply of fat and the number of stem cells is so large, it is not necessary to culture cells over a period of several days and can then be used immediately.
