As the basketball frenzy that accompanies March Madness draws to the fever
pitch of the Final Four, it brings to mind that basketball is a high
contact sport. A quick peek at the NBA injured list reveals a catalog of
breaks and tears that affect tendons, ligaments and bones.
.
The pressure to improve performance and search for quick recoveries has
led some celebrity athletes to seek out stem cell treatments overseas and
in the U.S. Among NBA players to get stem cell treatments are Jason Kidd,
Tracy McGrady, Amar Stoudemire, Allan Houston and Kenyon Martin, according
to a Sports Illustrated article.

The ethical debate of using embryonic stem cells taken from fetuses has
been sidestepped to some extent by the viability of adult stem cells for
stem cell therapy. Although the FDA permits cells being extracted from
individuals and transformed into stem cells, and re-inserted back into the
same person, it requires that the conversion involve no more than water,
preservatives and storage products. Anything more than that, the FDA
policy states, would be classified as a drug therapy and need to go
through the proper application protocol.
.
But a much-awaited decision by the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C.
expected in May that may resolve a four-year-old battle between the FDA
and Regenerative Science in Colorado could represent a sea change in how
autologous adult stem cell treatments are regulated. The FDA is seeking to
prevent the company from providing autologous adult stem cell treatment
for musculoskeletal and spinal injuries. If the FDA were to lose, anyone
with a medical license could develop autologous stem cells and inject them
back into patients, without any regulatory oversight, according to a Cell
Press article.
