    Dr. Steve Aydin gives an extremely informative presentation on the use of bone marrow derived-mesenchymal stem cells for regenerative medicine. He explains why mesenchymal stem cells are superior to platelet-rich plasma and how bone marrow is a better source of these stem cells than adipose tissue. He details the equipment and techniques of bone marrow aspiration to extract the bone marrow.
