Today's effort at patient education: "Are Stem Cells Illegal?" MSK and Spine autologous cellular therapy injections (like #BMAC and #mFAT) may be considered "exempt" from FDA regulation --- when performed under the proper circumstances, and when specific criteria are met. On the other hand, there are currently ZERO (Zero.Point.Zero) FDA -approved "Stem Cells in a Vial" products for use in the treatment of MSK and Spinal Conditions in the USA. So if you got an invitation for the "Informational Seminar on Stem Cells" at your local steakhouse in the mail, and you show up and they start talking about Exosomes, Wharton's jelly, umbilical cord blood, and amniotic fluid, you might want to skip dessert and skeedaddle. I can't believe that these companies are still getting away with advertising, promoting, and distributing these products in 2024! Hopefully this video helps to clarify! https://lnkd.in/e4EBcuKV

📚 Publication Alert: Nanovials used to optimize cell therapies! In a recent Nature Communications publication, researchers at UCLA used Nanovials to identify and isolate high EV secreting stem cells and used them as a therapeutic in mice, demonstrating improved tissue regeneration post-cardiac injury. Key Takeaways from the publication: 📌 EVs play an important role in cell-to-cell communication 💬, including tissue regeneration 📌 Traditional methods, which study EV-secreting cells in bulk, often mask this heterogeneity and typically destroy the cells, making it difficult to optimize EV therapeutics 📌 Nanovials were used to analyze and sort single cells based on EV secretion levels—cells are kept alive during this process 📌 Imaging cytometry 📸 using the Cytek Biosciences Amnis Imagestream helps distinguish different Nanovial populations 📌 Mice treated with high EV secreting populations isolated using Nanovials show increased tissue recovery after myocardial injury 🐭 🚀 Nanovials can facilitate the optimization of other EV therapies!

Last month our newest article from COMPASS Research Group got published in #AdvancedHealthcareMaterials! This is a very interesting article that combines the use of stem cells and biomaterials to explore the immunoregulatory potential of MSCs and MSCs-derived products. It is entitled "Encapsulated Mesenchymal Stromal Cells as Cyclic Providers of Immunomodulatory Secretomes: A Living on-Demand Delivery System" and was developed with the contributions of Ana Rita Sousa, Diana Gonçalves, Ana Santos Coquillat, Mariana B. Oliveira, and João F. Mano. Check it out: https://lnkd.in/d-vBSkbh #Secretome #StemCells #Biomaterials #Immunomodulation #Stimuli #MSCPrimming

Facing the looming challenge of treating nearly 300 million individuals with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) by 2040, the medical community seeks innovative solutions. Recent studies highlight the potential of microcarriers in revolutionizing cell-based treatment of AMD via the production of retinal pigmented epithelial cells derived from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC-RPE). Yet, common market options face efficiency and integrity issues. Smart MCs, pioneering a new era with customisable, xeno-free microcarriers tailored for specific applications. Dive deeper into this groundbreaking solution and discover how Smart MCs is reshaping the future of cellular therapies.

What are stem cells? Stem cells are particular types of cells that can develop into many different types of cells in the body. They have specialized functions such as self-renewal through cell division and differentiation into specific types of specialized cells, such as red blood cells, insulin-producing cells, neurons, or other blood cells. Did you know that GLUTATHIONE is needed to increase stem cell potency and differentiation?🙌❤️ GlutaMyst is a convenient, effective, efficient, delicious, and affordable INNOVATIVE DELIVERY TECHNOLOGY that gets 100% Pharmaceutical-Pure Medical-Grade Glutathione with a proprietary blend of 60 cellular nutrients into your body within 4 seconds and absorbs up to 99%.

Producing stem cells-derived EVs at scale: in their latest work, Christian M. Capitini & Peiman Hematti at University of Wisconsin-Madison and collaborators assessed the viability of producing MSC-derived extracellular vesicles on a large scale using a bioreactor and to evaluate essential quality control parameters such as identity, sterility, and potency in educating monocytes and enhancing survival in a lethal hematopoietic acute radiation syndrome murine model https://lnkd.in/e4mKTqgs Large-scale cultivation of lipopolysaccharide-primed MSCs in a hollow fiber bioreactor demonstrated efficacy in treating H-ARS, showcasing the potential of a scaled-up manufacturing process for generating an appealing off-the-shelf, cell-free therapy.

🔬 Accelerate your #celltherapy workflows and deliver new treatments with MatriClone! Discover a new comparative data set featuring MatriClone among 4 iPSC matrices, evaluated for their ability to support iPSC cell lines. The study explores both the conventional pre-coating protocol and the innovative in-solution method, providing valuable insights into the most efficient techniques. MatriClone stands out as a robust matrix, purposefully designed to foster the health and pluripotency of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Unlike traditional iPSC matrices, MatriClone offers optical compatibility for whole well imaging, a crucial factor for regulatory approval. Notably, it's also soluble, eliminating the need for time-consuming pre-coating of plates. Unlock the full potential of iPSCs in your research and development.

The Cellcelector platform plays a pivotal role in this endeavor by offering precise and efficient cell isolation capabilities. Researchers can use Cellcelector to selectively isolate specific cell populations derived from human pluripotent stem cells, allowing for the creation of complex in vitro disease models that closely mimic the cellular heterogeneity observed in human tissues. By enabling the isolation of disease-relevant cell types with high purity and viability, Cellcelector facilitates the development of more accurate and physiologically relevant disease models, ultimately advancing our ability to study disease mechanisms and identify novel therapeutic targets.

MEMS removing the non-degradable proteins from the networks stops the cell degeneration in situ Between degeneration using chemicals and complicated regeneration, the ill patient cannot work. The transplantation is expensive and invasive, with the risk of infection, and social security is a problem in any country that cannot reimburse it. The company taking part in the studies has known from Axanton Technology GmbH for 10 years that removing the non-degradable proteins with Molecule Establishing Membranes Signaling (MEMS) regenerates the cells in situ and prevents cardiovascular pathology. MEMS is used sublingually at five micrograms per week to prevent cardiovascular pathologies in humans for 14 years. Where is the science and regulatory affairs policy to refuse all financial support since 2005 for MEMS and continue to tolerate the accumulation of the non-degradable proteins in the cell and the patients' degeneration? https://lnkd.in/eUSx5HyA
