Your Global Leader in Stem Cell Market Research
With existing treatments having limited success at healing the connective tissue disorders, regenerative medicine is preparing to fill the void. When it comes to plantar fasciitis treatment, could stem cell injections represent a low-awaited cure?

What are the types of CAR-T cells and how have they changed in recent years? CAR-T cells are immune cells that are artificially engineered to express a particular chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), which have shown great potential in killing cancer cells. Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) are artificially produced recombinant receptors having both antigen-binding and T-cell activating potentials.
CARs are composed of an extracellular recognition domain sourced from monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and an intracellular signaling domain including CD3- and costimulatory domains for triggering endogenous signaling pathways of T-cells. [Read more…]
Can you imagine a world where doctors have the power to replace dead, disease-causing cells with healthy ones produced in a laboratory? With continued research into cell reprogramming that future isn’t far off.
There have already been numerous successful trials with the new technology. Unfortunately, despite its potential many individuals remain unfamiliar with cell reprogramming and its difference from embryonic stem cells.
So, what is stem cell reprogramming? And what are some of the obstacles that the field currently faces? In this quick summary of cell reprogramming, we’ll answer these questions and more. [Read more…]
The latest development in stem cell research – stem cell treatment for hair loss – shows great promise for stimulating new hair growth. It addresses the problem of thinning hair for both men and women.
When hair growth slows with age, many people feel despondent, depressed, less confident, and generally unhappy. The prospect of a continuing downhill slide makes the situation even worse, which is why stem cell transplant for hair loss has become a big business in the last several decades. [Read more…]
Fight the signs of premature aging with these stem cell skin care beauty products. A lot of companies claim to incorporate the benefits of plant and human stem cells, as well as components secreted by them, into the best stem cell beauty products on the market. Below, we present what appears (based on company claims) to be ten of the best products available today.
As a publisher of stem cell news, we haven’t traditionally wandered into the world of claims made by stem cell beauty products suppliers. For obvious reasons, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of the claims made by these companies or the presence of specific active agents within them.
However, we get approached daily with questions about this topic and know that people are seeking information about it from a source that: 1) Doesn’t inflate the claims, and 2) Understands the science.
For this reason, we have decided to share with you what appear to be interesting skin care options, coupled with a healthy dose of warnings reminding you that the stated claims may or may not be accurate.
Kimera Labs makes the top of this list for numerous reasons. First, the company’s science it is solid. Instead of being a supplier of beauty products, the company is a specialty contract research organization (CRO) focusing on regenerative medicine applications, including exosome purification. Exosomes are small vesicles (~30-100nm) that are secreted by nearly all cell types and act as intracellular “mail”.
Exosomes transfer DNA, RNA, and proteins to other cells, thereby altering the function of the other cells.
Second, the company has an FDA registered tissue facility in Miami, FL, where it develops pharmaceutical grade, exosome-based regenerative therapies. The company has a 6,000 sq. ft. facility in Miramar, Florida, that includes impressive features such as ISO:9001/13485 certification, cleanrooms, and a variety of high-end scientific equipment.
Third, the company is run by Dr. Duncan Ross, a highly regarded scientist with a Ph.D. in Immunology from the University of Miami. Dr. Ross is also a Principal at The Kimera Society, a non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of stem cells, regenerative medicine, and cancer immunotherapies.
For those seeking stem cell beauty products, the company’s core offering is XoGlo™, a product which provides growth and healing signals to guide the re-deposition of tissue and avoid the scarring that often accompanies burns or other skin damage. You can see an incredible Case Study from the company in which XoGlo™ was used to heal second-degree burns in a patient in approximately seven days. The product can also be used for general skin health and enhancement.
More information on the XoGlo™is available here.
