There are currently no available treatment options for more than 90% of the approximately 7,000 rare diseases identified to date. However, if these conditions result from correctable cellular or genetic defects, cell and gene therapies (CGTs) can significantly improve patients' quality of life and often represent their only hope for betterment of their condition. The catch is that CGTs come at a substantial cost to both payers and patients.

32. Hip or shoulder? Location matters for bone marrow used in joint repair

  • medicalxpress.com language

Bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) is a common treatment for joint injuries. The invasive therapy involves extracting bone marrow—often from the hip—and concentrating it to preserve stem cells and growth factors, which help promote wound healing and tissue regeneration. The concentrated mixture is then injected into the injury site to speed up tissue repair and reduce inflammation. BMAC can be used on its own or in conjunction with surgery to repair ACL, MCL, and meniscus tears and other injuries.
