Episode notes
Choosing a Stem Cell Clinic
- Ask for quality control reports to ensure the stem cells are free of infections and diseases.
- Request flow cytometry testing to validate the stem cell markers and ensure they are true stem cells.
Stem Cells vs. Progenitor Cells
- Many U.S. stem cell clinics offer progenitor cells, not true stem cells.
- Progenitor cells are committed cells with limited differentiation potential, primarily offering anti-inflammatory effects.
Stem Cell Regulation in the US
- Expanding or modifying your own stem cells is considered creating a pharmaceutical in the US.
- FDA regulations and lobbying by pharmaceutical companies make it difficult to offer true stem cell therapies in the US.
