The Court also described the Regenerative Sciences procedure:

The Procedure begins with the extraction of a sample of a patient’s bone marrow or synovial fluid. From that sample, Regenerative Sciences isolates mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which are capable of differentiating into bone and cartilage cells. The MSCs are then placed in a solution to culture them—that is, to cause them to divide and proliferate.

Other substances are sometimes added to the solution that affect the MSCs’ differentiation. The culturing process determines the growth and biological characteristics of the resulting cell population. When the MSCs are sufficiently numerous for re-injection, they are combined with doxycycline, an antibiotic obtained in interstate commerce and used to prevent bacterial contamination of the MSCs. The resulting mixture (the Mixture) is injected into the patient from whom the stem cell sample was initially taken, at the site of the damaged tissue.


To answer your question...SVFC does not culture the cells and does not use any chemicals/drugs in the isolation.
