What Are Mesenchymal Stem Cells and How Can They Benefit You?
Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) are a special type of cell with a unique ability: they can transform into different types of tissues, such as cartilage, bone, muscle, and tendons.
These cells have regenerative power, meaning they can repair and restore damaged tissues in the body.
MSCs are found in various parts of the body, including bone marrow, fat, and the umbilical cord. In medical treatments, these cells can be extracted from the patient or a donor and then applied to the affected area to stimulate the body's natural tissue repair process
How Do Mesenchymal Stem Cells Work?
When a joint, muscle, or tendon is damaged due to an injury or a degenerative disease (such as osteoarthritis), mesenchymal stem cells work in several ways:
Tissue Regeneration. They promote the formation of new cartilage, bone, or muscle, helping to repair the affected area.
Anti-Inflammatory Properties. They reduce inflammation in the joint, decreasing pain and improving mobility.
Release of Growth Factors. They stimulate other cells in the body to regenerate and function more effectively
Protection of Existing Tissues. They help maintain the health of cartilage and other tissues, preventing further deterioration.
What Are Mesenchymal Stem Cells Used For?
These treatments are primarily used in regenerative medicine to address conditions such as:
Knee, Hip, and Shoulder Osteoarthritis – Helps delay or avoid the need for joint replacement surgery.
Cartilage and Ligament Injuries – Speeds up recovery and improves joint stability
Tendinitis and Bursitis – Reduces inflammation and promotes tissue repair.
Muscle Tears and Sports Injuries – Enables faster recovery for athletes and active individuals.
Tendon Injuries - Enhances tendon strength and flexibility, reducing the need for surgery.

Let’s start with the basics: PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma).
Here, we use your own blood. We extract a small amount, centrifuge it, and keep the platelets, which act like little "workers" that help repair injuries. However, they are not stem cells, so their regenerative capacity is limited. They work well for mild injuries, such as tendinitis or early-stage arthritis, but if you have more severe damage, we need something stronger.
Now, let’s take a step forward with bone marrow aspiration.
Here, we’re talking about mesenchymal stem cells—the true stars of regeneration. We extract bone marrow from your hip and process it to obtain these cells, which act like "engineers" specialized in repairing bones, cartilage, and tendons. However, the number of cells we can obtain is limited since bone marrow is not as rich in stem cells as other tissues. Still, it’s a significant advancement compared to PRP.
Then comes the next level: the stromal vascular fraction from adipose tissue.
This is a major breakthrough because fat tissue is much richer in mesenchymal stem cells than bone marrow. Think of it as having a larger and more skilled construction crew. We extract fat through liposuction, process it, and obtain a more concentrated "regenerative cocktail." This enables us to treat more severe injuries and degenerative diseases with better outcomes.

We are at the forefront of biological technology.
Allogeneic Stem Cells (MCS)
Here, we’re playing in a whole new league. We don’t rely on your body to obtain the cells. Allogeneic stem cells come from healthy donors and are produced in specialized laboratories. What does this mean for you?
Unlimited availability. We obtain millions of cells ready for use.
Superior quality. The cells are young, powerful, and laboratory-controlled.
No rejection. These cells have immune-privileged properties, meaning your body accepts them without issues.
This allows us to treat complex conditions such as severe arthritis, autoimmune diseases, or advanced joint injuries. It's like having a massive construction team with state-of-the-art tools, ready to perform deep and long-lasting repairs.
Each generation improves in the number of available cells and their regenerative capacity. PRP is effective for mild issues, but allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells represent the most advanced standard, offering the greatest potential for tissue regeneration and restoring lost function. It’s like upgrading from a small, basic team to a multinational construction company with unlimited resources. I hope this helps you understand how these therapies work and why allogeneic cells are the future of regenerative medicine.

Knee, Hip, and Shoulder Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is the progressive wear and tear of joint cartilage, causing pain, inflammation, and stiffness. Stem cell therapy helps regenerate cartilage and reduce inflammation, improving mobility without the need for surgery.
Cartilage and Ligament Injuries
Tears in cartilage and ligaments can affect joint stability and cause chronic pain. Cell therapy promotes tissue repair, accelerating recovery and improving joint function
Tendinitis and Bursitis
These inflammatory conditions affect the tendons and bursae, causing pain and limited movement. Stem cells have anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties that promote recovery and relieve pain
Muscle Tears and Sports Injuries
Common in athletes and active individuals, muscle tears can be treated with stem cells to accelerate healing and reduce the risk of recurrence
Tendon Injuries
Tendon injuries, such as tendinosis and partial tendon tears, can cause chronic pain and limit mobility. Mesenchymal stem cells can aid in tendon tissue repair by promoting cellular regeneration and reducing inflammation. This treatment accelerates healing and improves tendon strength, providing an effective alternative to invasive surgical procedures.
