Author: Jonathan Wofford, General Manager of WellSky’s Biotherapies Division

As operations for cell and gene therapy programs become more demanding and supply chain management becomes more complex, your program may face various challenges adapting to these changes. For example, increasing manufacturing and procedure volumes in combination with new and changing protocols will require the use of more automated, flexible and efficient processes. Tightening regulations will require greater documentation and process control. As cell and gene therapies continue to grow in clinical application, payers, study sponsors, and other agencies will require more data and reporting. [Read more…]

List of Exosome Companies: Tiny Packages, Enormous Potential

By 2 Comments

Exosomes are small vesicles ranging from 30-100nm in size that are found in nearly all eukaryotic fluids and facilitate a range of important cellular functions. Although exosomes were discovered more than 30 years ago, it was not until recently that the scientific community began to give credit to exosomes for a range of promising traits. [Read more…]

Exosomes as a New Class of Cell-Free Therapeutics and Diagnostics

By Leave a Comment

Exosomes are extracellular vesicles (EVs) of endosomal origin that range in size between 30 and 150 nanometers (nm). Exosomes are formed by the invagination of the cell membrane. This invagination and subsequent budding result in the formation of early endosomes. These early endosomes then mature into late endosomes, which are also called multivesicular bodies (MVBs). Finally, these MVBs migrate and fuse with the plasma membrane to release exosomes outside the cell. [Read more…]

40 Pro Athletes Who Have Had Stem Cell Treatments

By 5 Comments

More and more athletes are turning to stem cell treatments, because the pressure to get back on the field is high and access to these experimental therapies is continuing to increase. Athletes commonly suffer serious injuries that could potentially end their careers and cause them serious long-term health complications. Most of them turn to surgery to resolve those injuries.

However, some of them are  pursuing stem cell treatments and regenerative therapies, because these procedures are less invasive than surgery and have the potential to speed and augment repair. While the effectiveness of these surgeries is largely unknown, what is clear is that a growing number of athletes are turning to this approach.

Athletes Who Have Undergone Stem Cell Treatments

This article outlines 40 pro athletes who have undergone stem cell treatments for their knees, hips, ankles, shoulders, and more. It also includes athletes who have pursued regenerative therapies, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy.

In my case as a professional athlete, I received both of these therapies within a short time frame with each other, because there is evidence to indicate that PRP injections can positively impact stem cell treatment outcomes.

The Best Cord Blood Bank of 2021: Which One Should You Choose?

By Leave a Comment

After choosing a name for your newborn, the next decision you’ll need to make is whether or not you want to save their cord blood. It’s a choice you will need to make swiftly, as the window to successfully store your child’s cord blood and cord tissue is a relatively small one.

While there is a lot of information available for expecting parents, sifting through all the options to find the best cord blood bank can be overwhelming, especially if you’re not exactly familiar with all the terms and technology. [Read more…]
