"We enjoy the advantage of having a large amount of clinical data on 2,000 patients. So we analyzed who received which cells and which cells worked best in different conditions. This allowed us to create our selection process through molecular profiling,” explained Medistem (Panama) Founder and CEO Dr. Neil Riordan. Operating what is arguably [...]
(PRWEB) MAY 26, 2016 After several promising treatments in Panama using stem cell technology developed by Medistem Panama Inc. at the City of Knowledge in Panama, a 6 year-old Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy patient received his first umbilical cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells in the US earlier this year following FDA approval of a second application [...]
An article published this month in Thieme Journal of Knee Surgery entitled, "The Use of Biologic Agents in Athletes with Knee Injuries" concluded that "Biologic agents... are becoming the mainstay of nonoperative therapy in the high-demand athletic population." but "...Unfortunately, strict regulations by the FDA continue to restrict their application in clinical practice." The good [...]
The first patient with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy to be granted FDA approval for allogeneic adult stem cell therapy in the United States turned 30 this year, well surpassing his original life expectancy and paving the way for future patients, according to non-profit organization Coming Together For A Cure. WICHITA, KANSAS (PRWEB) MAY 18, 2016 - [...]
Knee Pain? Try a little RICE at home! If you are suffering from knee pain, swelling, and stiffness then you might consider trying some RICE at home before exploring options like non-surgical stem cell therapy. RICE stands for: Rest Ice Compression Elevation REST First, rest and protect the sore or injured area. If [...]
Nina Mikirova, Neil Riordan, Joseph Casciari Med Sci Monit 2016; 22:14-25 DOI: 10.12659/MSM.895368 BACKGROUND: Cytokines play an important role in tumor angiogenesis and inflammation. There is evidence in the literature that high doses of ascorbate can reduce inflammatory cytokine levels in cancer patients. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of treatment [...]
Dr. Riordan discusses: How our lab selects uses specialized screening techniques to select only the stem cells that we know will be the most useful for our patients. Only about 1 in 100 cords pass this screening process. How umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) control inflammation, modulate the immune system [...]
A study published last year (2015) in the scientific journal Stem Cells entitled “Percutaneous injection of autologous bone marrow concentrate significantly reduces lumbar discogenic pain through 12 months”, reported that patients suffering from chronic back pain due to degenerative disc disease who were treated by injecting their own bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) into their [...]

Outcomes of acute Achilles tendon rupture repair with bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) augmentation Stein BE, Stroh DA, Schon LC. "Excellent results, including no re-ruptures and early mobilisation, were observed..." Abstract PURPOSE: Optimal treatment of acute Achilles tendon ruptures remains controversial. Positive results using stem-cell-bearing [...]
