One Way Stem Cell Therapy Works: Waking Up Local Cells
Source: Regenexx
How do stem cells work? We know some things. For example, stem cells can both differentiate (turn into) another cell and excrete chemicals to coordinate a repair response. They can transfer good mitochondrial batteries to a dying cell with bad batteries. They can also transfer some of their RNA into another cell and make it produce proteins. Now a new study also suggests that stem cells injected into a joint may be able to wake up local cartilage repair cells.
