Provia laboratories involved in stem cells extraction from tooth other than cord blood stem cells

A Provia laboratory LLC is a modern bio-banking organization that is soon going to become high tech with more and more innovative practices. Located in Lexington, the company professionals give promise to discover a regenerative medicine. This medicine will be used effectively for the treatment of those who are physically handicapped or have some damaged organ. With the help of drugs one day it will be possible to grow a lost appendage or some damaged body organ simply by the exchange of one tooth. It is because the company is engaged into harvesting stem cells from the baby teeth rather than extracting cord blood stem cells.

Later on, it will be possible for the owner to access the stem cells in future when they would be in need to regenerate a limb. The business model of the company exactly matches the strategies of other companies which are actively involved in the collection of cord blood during the birth of new born. According to Howard Green man, the Chief Executive, the average cord blood banking cost is approximately fifteen hundred dollars directly making annual payments of one hundred and fifty dollars in other companies. While costs charged in Provia would be about six hundred and forty nine dollars direct and thus annual charges of one hundred and twenty dollars.

This medicine with the regenerative capacity basically allows for the collection and also the storage of stem cells of an individual. It is another fact that these medicines would only be used by those persons who are either family members or blood relatives. The reason behind this it is necessary that there should be a genetic match between cells and recipient. if the matching between donor and acceptor would be perfect then there would be no chance for the new appendage or any organ to get rejected. The logic behind this is the new limb has been originated in fact from the DNA of the person himself.

Nowadays, the concept of regenerative medicine is completely new. stem cells obtained from different parts of the body such as umbilical cord blood collection grow into different cells and are fully effective to cure several diseases. Similarly the stem cells extracted from the tooth can be used to grow bones in the jaw. Moreover, they can also be used to grow some cells similar to pancreas which would be able to develop insulin. Researchers from all around the world are confident that in a very short time it would be possible to obtain stem cells from other parts of the body. These cells will then be used for the treatment of large segment of population in the whole universe to generate appendages and damaged organs.

The company has already its dealing in America, Venezuela, Panama, Costa Rica, Guatemala and Ecuador. Greenman said that the organization named Cordon de Vida will be doing teeth collection and transportation for Provia. Provia will be then involved in stem cell harvesting and their storage. This issue is catching high interest of the scientists and people even outside America. Provia Laboratories is thus proving to be a tooth angel of the modern world because of its wonderful contribution.
