Stem Cell
Autologous (adult) stem cells are are derived from the patient's own blood or bone marrow. Pictured here are hematopoetic stem cells (HSC) adult stem cells that manufacture all blood cells (red and white). They are found mostly in bone marrow and replenish sick and dying blood cells.

FAIM supports the use of Autologous Adult Stem Cells. These therapies take the patient's own stem cells from, for example, bone marrow, fat or synovial fluid and reintroduce them back into the patient. It is another frontier in science that can revolutionize medicine.
