The regenerative medicine industry has a communication problem, and it isn’t a scientific one. The field now broadly accepts that mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) exert their effects largely through paracrine signaling rather than engraftment and differentiation, a reframing captured in Arnold Caplan’s proposal to rename them “medicinal signaling cells.” What hasn’t matured is the public’s understanding of any of it.

The Science of Extending Health and Longevity in 2026
The quest for prolonged health and longevity is a topic of great interest as we advance into 2026. With innovations in medical science and technology, we discover new methods to improve our well-being.
Many factors contribute to longevity, including genetics, lifestyle choices, diet, and access to healthcare. Researchers continue to explore the science behind these aspects, and one significant area emerges: preventive care. [Read more…]
The Science of Cellular Renewal: Urolithin A and the Mitochondrial Revolution
Mitochondria, often called the powerhouses of the cell, play a crucial role in energy production, cellular repair, and metabolic health. Yet, with age, mitochondrial function naturally declines. This leads to reduced energy output, increased oxidative stress, and impaired cellular regeneration, factors that contribute to aging at every level of the body. [Read more…]
