Not all stem cells heal the same 🧬. Lots of my patients are asking about stem cells (and peptides) lately so here's the breakdown on the former👇 👉 Embryonic stem cells = replacement cells 🏗️ They can become almost any tissue in the body and are designed to directly turn into new cells like cartilage, bone, or nerve. 👉 MSCs = signaling cells 📡 These are the ones most commonly used today for injections. They are less about “becoming” tissue and more about sending powerful healing signals: ✨ calm inflammation 🩸 improve blood flow 🛠️ recruit your body’s repair cells 🧵 improve collagen organization That’s why in orthopedics, MSCs often work more like a biologic pharmacy than a true replacement part 🦴 Big difference: ESCs replace tissue vs MSCs help your body repair tissue better 🔥 👉 comment NEWSLETTER for more similar health information, and I'll send you a link to my free weekly newsletter 🗞️ #stemcells #MSC #Orthopedics #regenerativemedicine
