Dr. Fadi (FJ) Bejjani spent many years in the field of minimally invasive surgery in New Jersey. Now a consultant for Lifelong, a nutraceuticals and cosmeceuticals firm, Dr. Fadi (FJ) Bejjani maintains interest in stem cells and regenerative medicine.
The field of regenerative medicine aims to strengthen the body's natural healing processes by repairing or replacing damaged tissue and organs. One way to achieve this regeneration involves using stem cells, which are a type of cell that can develop into several different kinds of tissue. Bone marrow provides an abundant supply of stem cells.
Recent studies show the benefits of a person's own stem cells for regenerating his or her body. A few stem cells can be obtained from a patient and grown in the laboratory in order to be inserted back into the patient. These cells can then repair damaged organs. Since these cells come from the patient's own body, antirejection medicines required for organ transplants thus become unnecessary.
