A Scottsdale practice led by Dr Todd Malan that offers injections of stem cells taken from the patient's own fat tissue and processed in its own office.
The Center for Regenerative Cell Medicine is a Scottsdale, Arizona practice led by Dr Todd Malan. Its site is built almost entirely around one treatment: the injection of adipose-derived stem cells, meaning stem cells taken from the patient's own fat tissue.
According to the site, fat is harvested using techniques it describes as less invasive than traditional liposuction, the cells are then spun down in the clinic's own office and added to a matrix solution, and the preparation is injected into the affected area. Because the cells come from the patient's own body, the site describes the treatment as autologous. The site says Dr Malan first used adipose-derived stem cells in October 2009 but does not state when the practice itself was founded.
The site lists a wide range of conditions for which it says the treatment is used, running well beyond joint problems into neurological, autoimmune and metabolic disease. The directory notes that this is what the site claims; it is not an endorsement, and the site itself carries a disclaimer describing the use as investigational. Readers considering treatment for a serious neurological or autoimmune condition should weigh that disclaimer carefully.
The pages that could be read give no street address, no telephone number, no pricing and no information about languages, and name no clinician other than Dr Todd Malan.
