Bone marrow was drawn from the patient, and in the next nine days, the marrow was used to grow mesenchymal stem cells, which have the ability to grow into bone, cartilage and muscle tissues. The grown stem cells initially taken from the patient were injected into her knee once a week for the next three weeks. Three months after the procedure, the patient reported that her pain had essentially d
