The Benefits of Cell Therapy for Avascular Necrosis
It is a common fact that bones are connected to other skeletal and muscular tissue by ligaments and tendons. Healthy bones have a supply of red blood cells, which take oxygen from the lungs to the part of the body where it is needed. If these cells are not present or are inadequate in number, myocardial failure will eventually result. What is Avascular Necrosis? Avascular necrosis is a condition in which the supply of blood to a bone decreases or stops. The bone then dies as a result of a lack of oxygen and nutrients, becoming too weak to support the weight of the body. What is bone cell Therapy? Cell therapy is a type of regenerative medicine that involves the use of living cells to treat or prevent disease. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are a type of cell that can differentiate into bone, cartilage, and other tissues. BMSCs have been shown to be effective in treating avascular necrosis (AVN), a condition in which the blood supply to the bone is disrupted and the bone ti...
