14 statements about Stem Cells, every show
Adelman: Longevity, Peptides, and Stem Cells Will Transform People's Lives
“My next frontier that I'm really getting involved in is, like, longevity, ok? Peptides, stem cells, all of that. Like, I think that is the wave of the future. Like, I think that is gonna change the scope of people's lives.”
Prasad: Elective commercial stem cell therapies lack clinical evidence and FDA approval
“They are not FDA approved... They're all, you know, lack of evidence. They just, you know, Do something largely originating in Korea, China... It's business.”
Huberman: Stem cells are not yet ready for clinical use
“No, they're not ready for clinical use yet, and the United States has been very careful about things like this”
Stem cell treatments are not yet ready for clinical use
“Is this to say that stem cells are bad? No, they're not ready for clinical use yet. And the United States has been very careful about things like this”
David Friedberg: Scientists can now reprogram human body cells into egg cells
“So the interesting work going on right now is you basically can take any cell from a person's body, turn it into a stem cell, and then turn that stem cell ultimately into an egg cell.”
Regenerative cell therapies will solve intractable degenerative diseases and expand human lifespan
“I mean, there's definitely stem cells for hair, and I know a few companies working on it, so we could probably regenerate that too, and I think you're going to see a lot of these totally intractable problems now start to be within the realm of being solvable, …”
Robbins: Scientific research proves the therapeutic value of stem cells
“Stem cells have been involved in so many studies now, as Dr. Vijay knows, there's zero question in terms of their value”
Weisbrot: Stem cell brain injections can reverse stroke damage after six months
“There's evidence that stem cells that a stem cell injection directly into the brain can Undue damage from a stroke six months after, more than six months after.”
Elfenbein: Skin-to-stem-cell reprogramming bypassed ethical hurdles in biology
“Prior to that, there was a moratorium on research in the United States on stem cells, and the future of understanding how these incredible cells grow, develop, and communicate with each other was really in question because of this, and so this incredible disco…”
Friedberg: Autologous induced stem cell therapy is about 15 years away
“We can actually do stem cells from your body, and that's like, you know, 15 years out is autologous induced stem cell therapy, where you actually make your own stem cells, and then give yourself all sorts of therapies, not just bone marrow transplants, but you…”
Vijay Pande: Scientists can already grow personal beating heart tissue
“I mean, they already can grow beating heart tissue from your own blood that created stem cells. So they can do that right now, and actually you could do that to test drugs on not just like how it behaves in a mouse or behaves in someone else, but how it behave…”
Klausnitzer: Over 500 clinical trials use banked stem cells for aging diseases
“And there are over 500 clinical trials that are using the cells we store to treat age related diseases.”
Steven Klausnitzer plans to intravenously reintroduce his banked 38-year-old stem cells
“So I want, I'm going to take my thirty-eight-year-old cells when I'm, I think, about 45 years old. I'm going to grow them, and I'm going to start reintroducing them intravenously. And not to treat any specific disease or just to reconstitute my stem cell.”
