"Surgeons are doing phenomenal work in spinal cord regeneration that is very exciting with stem cell technology," said Dr. Dickinson in a Becker's Spine Review article. "For me, adding new biologics in the field will be profound and revolutionize this idea that we are physioscientists that are returning and regenerating the anatomy. In the future we will have the capacity to have good biologics for everything: bone, ligament and cartilage regeneration."
