What is CAR-T Cell Therapy? A New Way to Treat Cancer

November 3, 2025 By Cade Hildreth, Founder & President 1 Comment

CAR-T cell therapy is as a type of immunotherapy that teaches T cells to recognize and destroy cancer. CAR-T cell therapy has demonstrated promising results in a range of patients across the globe. In some patients, this can lead to the total elimination of the cancer. In others, there is a significant improvement of the disease.

For those confronting cancer, one crucial question often arises: What is CAR-T cell therapy? This guide answers the most common questions and explains how this innovative technology is transforming the future of cancer treatment.

As with any rapidly evolving field, defining the scope and boundaries of regenerative medicine is a challenge. However, understanding this innovative industry requires examining the foundational components of the human body and the groundbreaking technologies designed to restore or enhance its function. To understand the definition of this scientific field, it is critical to understand the key components that compose the human body, which are: [Read more…]

Clean Meat Market: Stem Cell Derived “Clean Meat” Attracts Billionaires

November 2, 2025 By Cade Hildreth, Founder & President 2 Comments

Lab-grown meat is fast becoming a real alternative to its farm-grown counterpart as billionaire entrepreneurs and industry heavyweights invest into start-ups from across the nascent field of “cellular agriculture”. Produced via stem cells derived from cows, pigs, fish, sheep, or other livestock, the emerging clean meat industry has the potential to transform the global food market and create a new trillion dollar industry in the process.

What’s the Difference Between Neural and Neuronal Stem Cells?

November 2, 2025 By Cade Hildreth, Founder & President 3 Comments

Are you wondering about the term neural stem cell versus neuronal stem cell, but don’t yet know the difference? If so, you’re not alone. The short answer is that neural means pertaining to a nerve or nerves (the cordlike bundles of fibers made up of neurons), while neuronal means pertaining to neurons (the conducting cells of the nervous system).

With this understanding, the term neural stem cell describes multipotent stem cells that can self-renew and differentiate into specialized cells of the brain, such as neurons, astrocytes, or oligodendrocytes.

In contrast, neuronal is a term that describes neurons, so practically speaking, it is often used in the context of describing neuronal networks (networks of neurons) or describing neuronal differentiation. For example, one might talk about stem cell-derived neuronal networks or neuronal differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells).

Therefore, when it comes to the world of stem cells, the cells that are capable of differentiating into specialized cells of the brain are neural stem cells. With this surface level understanding, let’s dive deeper.
