SANUWAVE Technology Shown to Proliferate Adult Stem Cells (press release)
SANUWAVE Health, Inc., an emerging medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of noninvasive, biological response activating devices in regenerative medicine, today announced the publication of peer-reviewed, preclinical data that demonstrate the ability of the Company's extracorporeal shock wave technology (ESWT) to substantially stimulate proliferation of periosteal progenitor/adult stem cells within the body and significantly increase the quantity and quality of adult stem cells that can be harvested from the cambium layer (the inner osteogenic layer of the periosteum) for select tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications.
The authors demonstrated that ESWT effectively proliferates adult stem cells within the periosteum of femurs and tibias in a rodent model, which the authors suggest could then be more efficiently harvested and transplanted for orthopaedic applications, such as fracture or joint repair and human tissue engineering applications. The publication, titled "Extracorporeal Shock Wave-Induced Proliferation of Periosteal Cells," appear...
