A short educational YouTube presentation by Dr. Charles Mok explaining types of stem cells (hematopoietic, mesenchymal, and neural) and common harvesting methods. The speaker emphasizes mesenchymal stem cells—multipotent cells found in tissues such as bone, skin, muscle, cardiac tissue, and liver—and describes traditional bone marrow harvesting from the hip using a small incision and drill to collect stem cells.

Chapters

There's hemopoietic stem cells, which are the ones that are in the bone marrow for blood cells. And we're most going to talk about something called a mesenchymal or mesenchymal stem cells. But these are stem cells that are for most of the tissues in our body, such as bone, skin, muscles, cardiac tissue, liver. And then there's stem cells that are maybe more specific for the brain and other neurologic tissues. So the stem cells can be harvested from different areas. The most common form of stem cell therapy has traditionally been from the bone marrow. So they would make a little incision. They numb your skin up and make a little incision and say your hip. Put a little drill into the hip bone and take out stem cells.
