Cell Types
MSC vs HSC vs other cell types
Different cell types serve different purposes. Be precise about what is actually being offered before you pay.
Definitions
Common cell types in regenerative contexts
MSC — Mesenchymal Stromal Cells
Commonly discussed in regenerative wellness contexts. Typically positive for CD73, CD90, CD105 and negative for CD34, CD45.
HSC — Hematopoietic Stem Cells
Blood-forming stem cells used in specific medical transplant contexts, typically not in commercial wellness offers.
SVF / Adipose-derived
Stromal vascular fraction from fat tissue. Processing methods, regulation and content vary; must be explained clearly.
Embryonic / iPSCs
Important research topics. They should not be presented as general commercial treatment options.
