  • I find the fact that some random ASMR video of a lady eating pickles can get millions of views while knowledge like this roams the depths of a free platform to just be utterly depressing

    Thank you very much for your informative lecture!
  • If you are looking into the costs of MSC treatments and worrying about whether you'll have enough money: First, stop searching the Internet for "ballpark" pricing. You are NOT a ballpark, you are an individual with a unique combination of symptoms and conditions. Next, contact the clinic(s) you're interested in and ASK FOR A QUOTE. You'll need to provide medical records, and your doctor's office should be able to help you regarding that. The clinic will provide you with an accurate quote for treating you. If the cost is out of your reach, take that quote and post it on a crowdfunding website, or send a copy of it to that wealthy uncle you've never met, etc.

    This is absolutely riveting! I'm pinching myself to make sure I'm not dreaming. Amazing stuff.

    Thank you for this very informative post. I am excited for the future of medicine.

    is it impossible to suggest growing an extra organ in vitro WHILE in vivo, near the organ it is copying, in order to regrow a healthier organ for transplant? Let's say a kidney is damaged, and the patient needs a transplant. With stem cells available a willing to repair or regrow tissue, could you somehow stimulate the kidney to regrow cells in a "petri dish" near the affected kidney whilst also being attached to the original kidney for quick access to information and blood supply?

    Would old fashion bone broth carry MSC's and transplant them orally in the body?

    This was a big jump from salamander to human re limb regeneration. And blaming the docs for stitching fingers up. Have tests been done in mice, rabbits and monkeys where a limb is severed and then the mouse, rabbit or monkey is waved in the air for the blood to clot, followed by complete limb regeneration? I doubt this works. It didn't work for a number of limping stray dogs I've seen with limbs damaged by fights with other stray dogs (or other mishaps). MSC do have therapeutic potential and I hope we are at the start of medical revolution but the reality is more nuanced that the apotheosis of MSCs as a panacea. See Prof. Caplan's owned published research "Chondrogenic Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells: Challenges and Unfulfilled Expectations", 2014.

    I'm an otherwise healthy 34 y/o male. I have Cauda Equina Syndrome where there is scaring inside the spine from a gunshot 8 months ago around L2/L3. I am only 8 months in recovery and getting a lot back except for the specific problems associated with CES from the nerves being compressed form scaring. But nothing exactly, "new". Nothing I didn't think I was going to get back. Basically I can't move my left foot or feel below the knee but my right leg is fine. Also some other issues I'd rather not discuss on here. ;} It's hard for me to watch this and not get emotional on top of being a little bit out of league in the terminology. Can anyone tell me if this video suggests MSCs may help with either the regrowth of nerves or the reduction of scar tissue? It seems like it's right on the line. Somewhere between "this is and isn't what is work for, it will maybe work for this in some people, and it can regrow fingers and help us all live longer"
