Institute of Tissue Regenerative Therapy
The only centre in the world that has scientifically proven that it can regenerate tissue affected by conditions previously considered incurable.



Treatments and Specialities
The Institute of Tissue Regenerative Therapy (ITRT) has become the global benchmark in Regenerative Medicine thanks to its protocol for cultured mesenchymal stem cells (CMSC), which have been scientifically proven to have the ability to regenerate tissues such as tendons (for the first time in the world), cartilage (osteoarthritis), vertebral disc, bone (pseudoarthrosis and osteonecrosis) and salivary glands.

At ITRT, we are the only centre in the world that has scientifically proven that it regenerates tissue, helping more than 1,200 patients to regain their quality of life.
- Largest global scientific knowledge base in regenerative therapyThe 22 clinical trials conducted by the centre constitute the largest global scientific knowledge base in this field.
- Treatment of various pathologiesWe can treat conditions like osteoarthritis (knee, hip, elbow), tendon tears and injuries (Achilles, patellar, supraspinatus), lumbar degenerative disc disease, pseudoarthrosis, osteonecrosis, xerostomia (dry mouth), and more.More info
- Culture-Based Mesenchymal Stem Cell TherapyA paradigm shift in the approach to injuries, avoiding surgical operations and prostheses, and curing pathologies that were previously untreatable. It enables patients to recover quickly and effectively.
- Healthcare ActivitySpecialists in Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology, Rheumatology and Sports Medicine. We work together to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal injuries, peripheral nerve injuries and joint conditions.
- Scientific studies following international ethical and quality standardsAll studies follow the standards imposed by the scientific method and Good Clinical Practice (GCP), guaranteeing the rights, safety, and well-being of our patients.

Regenerative or tissue therapy stimulates the repair and regeneration of damaged or injured tissues in the body through the use of cells, growth factors, and other biological materials, with the aim of restoring function and relieving pain. This approach is used in treatments such as stem cell therapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy to promote tissue healing and regeneration.
Regenerative medicine is used to treat various diseases and conditions, such as musculoskeletal tissue injuries, heart disease (coronary heart disease, arrhythmia, heart failure, etc.), spinal cord injuries, neurodegenerative diseases, type 1 diabetes and skin disorders, leukaemia, lymphomas, and monogenic diseases (cystic fibrosis, Huntington's disease, muscular dystrophy).
Regenerative medicine is applied through the use of stem cells and advanced therapies to stimulate the repair and regeneration of damaged or diseased tissues in the body. These treatments can be administered through injections, implants, or specific methods depending on the condition and the technique used. The goal is to restore function and improve the patient's quality of life.
Regenerative medicine offers several benefits, such as the ability to repair damaged tissue, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain in chronic conditions. It can also improve organ and tissue function, potentially offering an alternative to more invasive treatments or the need for transplants. In addition, it promotes patient recovery and quality of life.
The main treatments in regenerative medicine focus primarily on tendon injuries, osteoarthritis, lumbar degenerative disc disease, pseudoarthrosis, osteonecrosis, and platelet-rich plasma, though there are so many others, and the list continues to grow.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a medical treatment that involves extracting and concentrating a patient's own platelets and then injecting them into damaged or injured areas of the body. It is used to stimulate tissue regeneration and repair, and is commonly used in treatments for muscle, joint and skin injuries, and cosmetic procedures such as facial rejuvenation.
The effectiveness of regenerative medicine varies depending on the medical condition being treated and the type of therapy used. In some cases, such as sports injuries and certain diseases, it can be highly effective, offering promising results in tissue regeneration. However, effectiveness is not guaranteed for all conditions, and many therapies in this field are still being researched and refined.
You should consult a specialist in regenerative medicine when you are dealing with an injury, damaged tissue or organs, or a chronic condition that does not respond to conventional treatments, such as chronic pain, serious sports injuries, persistent joint or muscle problems, or degenerative diseases that could benefit from regenerative therapies. The specialist will assess whether you are a suitable candidate and determine the most appropriate therapeutic approach. Click here to request an appointment with our specialists.
Stem cells are cells that can be found in all multicellular organisms and whose main capacity is to divide and renew themselves autonomously, producing other stem cells. Cells with these characteristics are found in umbilical cord blood, amniotic fluid, and all tissues of the adult human body, including the heart and brain, which is why they are often called adult stem cells.
In the human body, these types of cells act as regenerators and are capable of repairing any damaged tissue in the body, especially in injuries that are resistant to standard treatments.
The primary function of stem cells belonging to an individual's own tissue is the regeneration of bone, cartilage, skin, or muscle tissue. Stem cells procured from the bloodstream can also serve therapeutic purposes for conditions affecting hematopoietic or immunological systems.
We can lessen the impact and even prevent osteoarthritis by adopting a series of measures that include low-impact exercises, good posture and taking care of our joints when lifting or carrying heavy loads. We should also avoid overburdening our joints by taking steps not to become overweight or obese.
In the event of significant cartilage degeneration, you may benefit from tissue regenerative therapy.
Cell regeneration through stem cells is a natural process that is very evident in processes such as hair or nail growth, as well as in the healing of wounds affecting the skin or other parts of our body.
One of the fundamental keys to cell regeneration is blood circulation, which we can keep active with a nutrient-rich diet and regular exercise. This includes pathologies with complex, challenging treatments, such as certain types of fractures.
Yes, knee tendon regeneration is possible. Treatments with mesenchymal stem cells not only alleviates pain and difficulty when walking, but it can also halt the progression of cartilage loss caused by degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis.
Pseudoarthrosis is the result of incomplete healing following a bone injury and its treatment. The fractured bone does not regenerate properly and, as a result, the splintered area causes pain.
There are many factors that can influence the development of pseudoarthrosis, so its treatment must be assessed by a medical professional who can effectively identify the cause of its appearance and the type of pseudoarthrosis involved.
Gonarthrosis (also referred to as knee osteoarthritis) is the degeneration of the cartilage located in the knee. It is an inflammatory and chronic condition, as well as degenerative and progressive, which also affects ligaments, menisci, and periarticular muscles.
For treatment, hyaluronic acid injections and platelet-rich plasma therapy have been shown to be effective. However, the latter may mean an improvement in symptoms, but not a cure for the disease.
Since 2003, the Institute of Tissue Regenerative Therapy at the Centro Médico Teknon has been working on various clinical trials involving bone regeneration or bone tissue regeneration using stem cells to treat unconsolidated fractures such as pseudoarthrosis or osteonecrosis of the femoral head.
These are completely pioneering trials, and their results have become global benchmarks in the field of tissue regeneration using stem cells.
