Proud to share an interview close to us here at Regenerative Outcomes! A remarkable leader, Megan brings a sharp edge to our values and mission. Proud to have her at the helm. https://t.co/rfVoHFGR27 via @stemcellmarket

We must not underestimate the toxicity of professional hubris. It kills innovation and discredits the scientists that fall prey to it. It is not debate. It is ego, and as throughout history, it hurts patients.

You may have noticed the growing popularity of wearable devices, such as Fitbit, that are compatible with smartphones. According to market research, the potential application for these devices in real-time health monitoring is expected to reach nearly 70 B in less than 4 years.

How you prepare for bone marrow transplantation affects blood stem cell behavior. A paper by ISCBRM researcher Czechowicz demonstrates that blood stem cells differentiate differently if prep for BMT is done through irradiation or chemotherapy. https://t.co/UlB7mY1MD8

Scientists in Australia used beta blockers to starve off the blood supply to Melanoma by targeting blood vessel stem cells, and halting their path into cancer. They believe they can stop Melanoma and clinical trials are expected to begin this year. #stemcells #regenmed

The FDA approved the safety of an ongoing stem cell trial that could change the lives of millions with rotator cuff tears, one of the most common orthopedic injuries. Results indicate the regrowth of damaged tendon, more range of motion, less pain & reduction in inflammation.

In Australia 1 in 10 people develop chronic kidney disease. A research center there just received $1M in funding to develop kidneys from human stem cells & hopes to open the door to kidney disease modeling, drug screening and the bioengineering of replacement kidneys! #stemcells

Leukemia expert Donald Small’s discovery helped clear #leukemia cells out of the bloodstream. Learn more about his research. @HopkinsKids

Perplexing decision by the Canadian Government to end a long-standing and highly successful program, called Networks Centers of Excellence. This likely means the end of funding for groundbreaking research that has been fueling discoveries in regenerative medicine. #regenmed

BREAKING: Alphabet's Verily gets $1 billion, led by Silver Lake.

The company says the new money will help it “execute as healthcare continues the shift towards evidence generation and value-based reimbursement models.”

AI will change the face of healthcare and be of great benefit to patients. It's also likely to open up lots of jobs at a pace which could exceed that of job loss. For starters, AI's need to be programmed with real data to be effective. #AIinhealthcare

Researchers for the first time turned data that was recorded from electrodes placed directly on the brain into computer-generated speech, 75% of which was intelligible to humans. For patients who are unable to speak, this could have dramatic implications in the future.

Prediction: Lawyers will begin suing those providers, or "bad actors" who put patients at risk by administering cellular therapies that are not compliant with FDA regulations, considered to be investigational new drugs requiring clinical validation of safety and efficacy.

Scientists have created cell pouches which are placed under a patient's skin, grows into the tissue, where insulin-producing cells in the pouch are released & flow through it to blood vessels, mimicking a natural pancreas. This could help improve the lives of Type 1 Diabetics.

An eye-opening discovery: scientists have found that different types of a protein, named laminin, can cause our stem cells to become specific cell types in the eye. #stemcells #regenerativemedicine

A breakthrough in drug "de-addiction" may be on the horizon by treating the nerve cells in the brain that produce the protein, hypocretin. Experiments in rats injected with morphine showed increased levels of hypocretin, the reduction of which may be the answer to treatment.
