The Body Show: Wait, There Are Stem Cells In Our Own Body Fat?

Ryddragyn at English Wikipedia
A colony of embryonic stem cells, from the H9 cell line (NIH code: WA09). Viewed at 10X with Carl Zeiss Axiovert scope.

Stem cells -- they come from our own bodies and can be concentrated and injected into joints, and many other places to help with healing. Dr. Michael Pasquale from the Hawaii Stem Cell Treatment Center joins the show to explain the latest research on this innovative treatment that might just replace the need for surgery someday! 

Dr. Kathy Kozak hosts The Body Show on Mondays at 6:30 p.m. on HPR-1.
