COVID-19 Diagnostic Kits: Total Number, Types and Speed

By

As of today, 41 laboratory COVID-19 diagnostic tests have been authorized by regulators to identify the virus. In the U.S., these tests are supplied by the CDC for the state and local public health departments and private medical providers are getting tests developed by the commercial manufacturers. The U.S. government did not issue guidance allowing commercial labs to process COVID-19 tests until February 29, 2020, after which the companies began testing within a week.

Currently, 20 COVID-19 diagnostic kits from the U.S. manufacturers have won the emergency use authorization (EUA) from the FDA. [Read more…]

The International Perinatal Stem Cell Society is a non-profit organization founded on the principle that stem cells from perinatal tissues contain enormous, untapped potential to treat many diseases and disorders worldwide.

For many years, the Perinatal Stem Cell Society has been hosting an annual conference featuring the world’s leading perinatal stem cell researchers, specializing in Amnion, Amniotic Fluid, Cord Blood for Regenerative Medicine, Cord Tissue, and the Placenta. Its scientific programs cover all aspects of the perinatal stem cell field, with opportunities to learn from leading clinicians utilizing cellular therapies within their practices.

Below, Kyle Cetrulo, President of the International Perinatal Stem Cell Society, explains the future of perinatal stem cell science and the role that the Society’s 2020 Scientific Conferences will play in advancing this mission. [Read more…]

10 Best Stem Cell Beauty Products On The Market Today

By

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.

10 Stem Cell Beauty Products to Try for Skin Aging

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.

1. XOGLO™

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.
