So fat derived stem cells have been shown to be beneficial for Ms. Patients in limited clinical studies. Again, this is not rock solid science right now. There's this investigational study showing these patients seem to get some degree of suppression of their Ms. Immunomodulation of their Ms. For some period of time. Appears to be around 9 months or so with autologous or your own stem cells. I'm not seeing that same improvement with umbilical stem cells, but I haven't had a lot of experience with that. We've used mostly fat derived stem cells, so we liposuction with that out, send it to a lab in Florida that takes the stem cells out. Then they bank the stem cells so you have your own STE bank. They can grow them and get you as many as you want. They send us a vial with 10 million stem cells and we can infuse them IV. But it's something, something to do for quality.
