So our clinic, we're using fat derived stem cells and umbilical derived stem cells. There's no guarantee of success, but it's pretty consistently working. We were in a study group with about 200 other doctors doing what's called the IRB Institutional Review Board study. We saw a very high response rate, very low complication rate, and if you can put that joint placement off as far as possible, you're going to live a little bit longer. We know right now that if you have joint disease that's impairing mobility, you're actually shortening your lifespan. If you have obesity and joint pain impairing mo, you lose about three and a half years not treating it. If you don't have obesity, just joint pain alone, limiting mobility, you're losing about 1.8 years. How do we live longer, healthier lives?
