Miracell Hosts CGP Academy on “Bone Marrow Stem Cell Extraction Techniques”
Miracell Hosts CGP Academy on “Bone Marrow Stem Cell Extraction Techniques” [Edaily Reporter Lee Soon-yong] Stem cell specialist Miracell (CEO Shin Hyun-soon) announced on the 30th that it held a CGP Academy on the 28th under the theme of “Understanding Pelvic Anatomy and Bone Marrow Stem Cell Extraction Techniques.” Conducted remotely via ZOOM due to COVID-19, the lecture drew significant attention with the participation of Dr. Jeong Chan-il, an orthopedic surgeon and director of Cellpia Clinic, a leading stem cell education medical institution. Following an explanation of pelvic anatomy, the one-hour lecture covered bone marrow collection methods and the resulting differences in outcomes. The video vividly captured the entire process of bone marrow stem cell extraction from an actual patient, with prior consent for filming. The bone marrow stem cells were concentrated and isolated using Miracell’s “SMART M-CELL2” bone marrow stem cell kit, BmSC, which has been certified as a new health technology by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. Smart Mcell 2 is a device system that extracts large quantities of stem cells by concentrating bone marrow blood through centrifugation. It is currently used by major hospitals across various medical specialties. This Miracell CGP Academy lecture, “Bone Marrow Stem Cell Extraction Techniques,” was well-received by participants for sharing core know-how on safely extracting high-quality stem cells and large quantities of viable cells from bone marrow. Dr. Jeong emphasized, “The key is to extract stem cells safely and painlessly using a special trocar from the posterior iliac crest. It is important to insert the instrument while avoiding the iliolumbar ligament and the superior gluteal cutaneous nerve. When performing the procedure in the prone position, it is important to determine whether the ilium is displaced posteroinferiorly or anterosuperiorly,and to check the needle’s internal and external rotational displacement to ensure accurate positioning.” This bone marrow extraction technique training attracted significant interest from doctors at CGP member hospitals and clinics from the very beginning of the application process.Unlike blood, bone marrow extraction requires a high level of technical expertise, and the amount of stem cells that can be extracted varies depending on the extraction method. Since the extraction and injection of large quantities of stem cells is crucial for achieving optimal results, the Q&A session following the lecture encouraged a lively discussion with CGP member physicians. Miracell’s Cellpia Global Platform Academy (CGP) is a platform for sharing stem cell medical technology and knowledge through a network of member hospitals and clinics. Launched in 2019, Miracell Inc.has actively engaged in educational sessions on a variety of topics with hospital and clinic staff to lead the way in specialized stem cell treatment and research and contribute to disease treatment. CGP provides education, technology transfer, medical equipment setup, and marketing services to hospitals and clinics worldwide to ensure safer stem cell regenerative medicine treatments. The GGP membership is a global membership program, integrating both domestic and international stem cell companies. Through technological and academic exchanges, it expands stem cell treatment. Miracell plans to further expand its international exchanges through this non-face-to-face ZOOM Academy.
