Autologous Disc-Derived Cell Transplantation
Filed in archive Drugs, Vaccines and Therapeutics by ruth on October 01, 2005

Instead of using Artificial

These cells are collected, cultured in the lab using tissue engineering and would be ready for transplant within about 3 months.Read co.don's press release here.
