    Actually, MSC therapies specifically for cartilaginous repair are probably outside of the clinical trial stage now. I studied about 'em two years ago, and only one company was entering the market with it. AFAIK, the sucess rate is still below 15%, but it couldn't hurt, because there are generally no side effects if the area they want to regenerate is small. .

    Having a quickie with a nurse is not considered a clinical trial.

    That is unfortunate, because agreeing with the drummer probably means you disagree with the bass player, and he's burly as fuck.

    Could someone equip the Blazer's locker room with a stem cell shower head?
