Adult stem cells are cells from your own body that can renew themselves and turn into other cells (differentiate).

Regenexx Stem Cell Procedures help overcome this problem by extracting stem cells from an area of high volume, then concentrating the cells and reinjecting them into the damaged area to help the body heal naturally.
