Lox, MD, lectured on Stem Cell Therapy and Athletes to a group of experts gathered to discuss the clinical translation of stem cells. Dr. Lox a highly respected lecturer, is well versed in Sports Medicine and the treatment of athletes with Stem Cell Therapy. Dr. Lox, presented at the Select Biosciences Clinical Translation of Stem Cells in San Diego, California November 10-11, 2015. Dr. Lox was the only lecturer speaking solely on Sports Medicine and Athletes treated with stem cell therapy. The symposium on stem cells in San Diego, California was a diverse selection of speakers presenting on various stem cell related translation topics.

This understanding may help not only the professional athlete, but also benefit the weekend warrior, and the elderly maintain fitness through exercise.
Stem Cell Treatment refers to the administration of stem cells for a therapeutic purpose. Research has expanded the use of stem cells in scientific as well as clinical translation into numerous medical areas. Currently, the primary use of stem cells is by autologous administration (the use of the patients own stem cells). Pharmaceutical and Biotech companies are in clinical trials with Allogenic stem cells (other peoples stem cells).
Regenerative Medicine is an exciting expanding medical field in which the repair and regeneration of the body are emphasized, rather than pharmaceutical or surgical treatments.
