Q. How are the stem cells taken from the body and what happens to them? A. small amount of tissue is taken from bone marrow, blood, fat, or skin. The procedure is painless. This sample is then sent to a laboratory where the stem cells that are needed are isolated and harvested into the many millions that are required to be therapeutic. |
