I am fortunate to have witnessed the development and subsequent registration of products which will completely change the complexion of the Regenerative Medicine world. Unlike umbilical cord blood products, exosomes, and amniotic products all of which the FDA has stated require either a biologics license or an Investigational New Drug (IND) application.

With the new Trump administration, there is much banter that Stem Cell Research will be significantly diminished or in some other way changed. This appears to be an alarming idea at face value. Stem cells promise…
Read MoreStanford researchers studying the effect of stem cells injected directly into the brains of stroke patients said Thursday that they were “stunned” by the extent to which the experimental treatment restored motor function in some of the patients.
