Stem Cells, Cytokines and Growth Factors: Separating Fact from Fiction (Room 29)

22 Jan 18
4:15 PM - 5:15 PM

Tracks: Science

This presentation will discuss the types of cells used in culture to produce cytokines and growth factors for topical application. Based on a greater understanding of the literature I will discuss the weak bio-signal profile from Fibroblast cells, the strongly pro-inflammatory and harmful bio-signals from adipose stem cells and the incredibly powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-aging and pro-healing bio-signals from bone marrow stem cells. With this knowledge, you will become armed and better informed when making decisions on which growth factor products you choose to provide to your clients.
