| I wonder why the surgery to remove bone was done in 2009 but only now (2012) are people writing articles about it? Very interesting though! |

a good read from Scientific American
thanx Keliu
" John Arnone, CEO of American CryoStem and founder of Personal Cell Sciences, says the fact that U Autologous skin care products contain such a diversity of cytokines does not bother him: "I've seen worse things out there. I've been putting this formulation for almost a year on myself prior to the study. I'm the best guinea pig here."
Stem-cell cosmetics?  > still in the risky guinea pig stage of research and development... |

"Many of us are super excited about stem cells, but at same time we have to be really careful," says Paul Knoepfler, a cell biologist at the University of California, Davis, who regularly blogs about the regulation of stem cell treatments. "These aren't your typical drugs. You can stop taking a pill and the chemicals go away. But if you get stem cells, most likely you will have some of those cells or their effects for the rest of your life. And we simply don't know everything they are going to do." |
That article was a bit scary. |

It's not in my nature to be a "worry-wort" and I'm usually all for trying something new. I readily embraced PRP to see if it would do anything (it didn't) and I suspect that many celebrities are making use of stem cell injections. But I have to say that the paragraph above really scared me too. |

Doctors has extracted adult stem cells from her belly fat, isolated them and then injected them along with a filler, calcium hydroxylapatite, around her eyes.

I think we all have to be careful with any new procedure that is out there, but the bone in the eye story may have something to do with the filler calcium hydroxylapatite that it was mixed with. I think as long as you are taking the cells from your own body, whatever is in those cells are in your body already. It's when you start mixing cells with outside substances that can cause problems because you aren't sure how the mixture will fuction. |
