Episode notes
INSIGHT

Stem Cells Signal, Not Transform

  • Mesenchymal stem cells signal existing tissue stem cells to activate, rather than directly transforming into new tissues.
  • Telomerase in umbilical cord stem cells helps reactivate aged cells by lengthening telomeres.
INSIGHT

Exosomes Enable Cell Communication

  • Exosomes and extracellular vesicles are tiny cell-to-cell communication vehicles without nuclei.
  • These vesicles carry microRNA and proteins that signal regeneration in target tissues.
ADVICE

Choose Topical for Faster Recovery

  • Prefer topical stem cell therapy over injections to avoid downtime from injury caused by needles.
  • Topical application allows continuous activity while speeding healing.
