Poor responders undergoing ovarian reactivation StemCell Regenera
Women who present a profile of poor responders meaning they have a poor response towards the ovarian stimulation treatment, yielding a low number of oocytes after oocyte retrieval and moreover want to undergo the ovarian reactivation treatment StemCell Regenera.
|
This intervention entails, in addition to routine platelet-rich plasma (PRP) isolation, prior mobilization of bone marrow derived stem cells into the peripheral blood using filgrastim, a granulocyte colony-stimulating factor.
Consequently, the patient benefits both from the stem cells and their paracrine effects on the ovaries, as well as from the direct effects of intraovarian PRP instillation.
Overall, this approach provides multiple benefits derived from two distinct biological sources.
