Yet, repairing torn cartilage, healing bone trauma, and regenerating muscle remain some of the greatest challenges in modern medicine.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to a visionary $10 million gift from USC Trustee Mark Stevens and his wife, Mary, the Keck School of Medicine of USC has established the USC Mark and Mary Stevens Center for Orthobiologics in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery.<\/p>\n<p>The center is pioneering therapies that use stem cells, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and other biologics to accelerate healing. These treatments hold promise for patients with arthritis, cartilage injuries, tendon damage, and bone trauma.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMillions of people suffer from arthritis and degenerative joint disease,\u201d said Mark Stevens. \u201cMary and I are enthusiastic about supporting the next generation of cell-based therapies and biologics through the center.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cMillions of people suffer from arthritis and degenerative joint disease.
