The bone marrow has been identified as one of the best sources of harvesting stem cells from adults, through bone marrow aspiration (BMA). The BMA process is a low-risk, invasive procedure usually performed at the back of the hipbone. MSCs that reside in the spongy bone are extracted from the bone marrow, where the half-day procedure leaves a very small, negligible scar on the back. The MSCs are then brought back to the laboratory to be processed and expanded.
 
Bone marrow-derived MSCs that have been isolated and expanded are ultimately stored in a cryogenic preservation tank at - 190ยบ Celcius in vapour phase.
 
Why Store Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells?
  • MSCs harvested from bone marrow is greater in quantity and better in quality than any other adult source.
  • For certain diseases, it has been shown that the earliest possible stem cell treatment (perhaps within 2 weeks) can reduce damage, hence culturing beforehand allows optimum results as the culture process usually takes more than a month.
