Genesis® Regenerative Protein Arrays
Genesis® Regenerative Protein Array (RPA) is a pioneering therapy that represents the next generation of healing, standing as a generation beyond PRP and other conventional approaches. It is estimated to be up to 1,000 times more potent than Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), a factor attributed to its uniquely comprehensive array of over 80 different cytokines, growth factors, and miRNA. This formulation is designed to support the body’s own healing processes.
The therapy functions by harnessing the body’s innate intelligence through a mechanism called paracrine signaling. Rather than introducing live cells, Genesis® RPA delivers a complex cocktail of signaling molecules to the target tissue. These bioactive molecules are designed to send instructions that activate and orchestrate the patient’s own healing capabilities, helping to manage the local environment of damaged tissues.
One of the most significant advantages of RPA is its safety profile. As an acellular product, it is devoid of any DNA or whole cells, which significantly reduces the risk of adverse reactions or off-target effects often associated with live-cell therapies. This acellular design offers the power of regenerative signaling without the cellular risk. To ensure purity and quality, RPA is ethically sourced from placentas donated after healthy, scheduled c-section births and is produced in FDA-registered facilities according to stringent standards, including rigorous third-party testing.
