Orthobiology is an innovative field of regenerative medicine that enables a new therapeutic approach aimed at biological tissue regeneration rather than tissue replacement.
The goal is to develop new therapies to promote bone and soft tissue repair of the musculoskeletal system by stimulating the body’s natural resources to regenerate damage caused by trauma or disease, thus providing alternative solutions to traditional treatments.
Growth factors have been proposed for years for the treatment of certain inflammation-based diseases in the form of platelet concentrates (so-called PRP, platelet-rich plasma). Indeed, platelets contain a large number of growth factors, which are known to accelerate healing processes and regulate inflammation.
As for the use of cells, on the other hand, those most widely used in the field of orthobiology are mesenchymal cells, which can be isolated from a wide variety of tissues, among which those most widely used for this purpose today are bone marrow and adipose tissue.
