INSIGHT

Autologous vs. Allogeneic Stem Cells

Allogeneic (donated) stem cells, especially from umbilical cords, are often superior to autologous (your own).
Umbilical cord stem cells are younger, haven't undergone mutations, and have a richer growth factor profile.

INSIGHT

The Regenerative Triad

True regenerative medicine requires the triad of stem cells, growth factors, and a scaffold.
The scaffold provides a structure for stem cells to grow and regenerate tissue effectively.

ANECDOTE

3D Bioprinting Scaffolds

Dr. Prashad Gulliat at the University of Washington is pioneering 3D bioprinted scaffolds.
These scaffolds, made of hyaluronic acid, are seeded with stem cells to resurface joints.

Are you intrigued by the power of stem cells and regenerative medicine but left with questions every time you try to learn more?

Questions like:

What's better: your own stem cells or a different source?
Is it true stem cells "don't work" without some kind of scaffolding to "grow on"?
Do you need to combine stem cells with exosomes?
Are tissue engineering and gene editing as dangerous as they sound?
Can stem cells be combined with peptides and hormones, and if so, how?

In this enlightening conversation with Dr. Adeel Khan, you'll have the opportunity to hear the answers to all those questions and many more (that you may not even know you had!).

Dr. Adeel Khan is an internationally recognized expert in regenerative medicine, having treated numerous high-profile celebrities and athletes. After earning his MD from the University of Ottawa in Canada, he specialized in sports medicine and led one of the first Health Canada-approved clinical trials with mesenchymal stromal cells. Adeel is now the Chief Scientific Officer of Science & Humans and the co-founder of xALT.

In the discussion with Adeel, you'll discover the science of enhancing stem cell function, the difference between stem cells and progenitor cells, the future of gene editing and its interaction with cell therapy and tissue engineering, and even get a sneak peek into Dr. Khan's unique daily routine for optimal health.
