Media coverage of Provia Labs’ dental stem cell storage product Store-A-Tooth has grown considerably in recent weeks – and the media interest seems to be growing even stronger.
CBS 4 News is the latest broadcaster to cover the product, with their story about 9-year old Alex Hess, who was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes aged 4. Alex’s parents were aware of the potential of future personalized and preventative medicine via the storage of stem cells – however thought that the only possibility of harvesting stem cells was from umbilical cord blood. They were pleasantly surprized to learn that dental stem cells from baby teeth could also be stored, and that Store-A-Tooth provided a perfect solution for them to store Alex’s stem cells in the hope that better treatments or even a cure for Type 1 Diabetes can be developed in future years.
