Description:

The FDA dropped a lengthy, extremely critical warning letter on a supplier of unproven exosome product called EUCYT Laboratories. For broader context, exosome therapy has somehow burst onto the scene when there s no good data yet in my view to back up its use in the clinic. The FDA is taking notice with letters already sent to others including an untitled letter to Kimera Labs  and on the same date another to a physician who used Kimera products and was at one time amongst Kimera leadership, Doug Read MoreMy weekly roundups of biomedical news tend to focus on stem cells, but I read more broadly so it s not just stem cells but also CAR-T cells and a lot more this week. CAR-T cells as senolytics? A team led by Scott Lowe has a new intriguing paper in Nature on using CAR-T cells to target senescent cells. The paper is entitled, Senolytic CAR T cells reverse senescence-associated pathologies . The core idea here is that CAR-T cells can be used to get rid of Read MoreIt was fascinating to read a new JAMA piece by the FDA on unproven stem cell clinics and other regenerative medicine firms. Many of these guys are profiteering off of buzz about exciting, but mostly unproven technologies. While the JAMA opinion piece reiterates the agency s commitment to evidence-based regenerative medicine, it also makes some other key points, some of which are newer and worth digging into on a deeper level. What s new here from the FDA? The piece by CBER Director Dr. Peter Marks Read MoreOne of the most common questions that patients have asked me over the last decade is, how much do stem cells cost? They actually ask seem to want to know more specifically how much the treatments should cost. To try to authoritatively answer this we need data from the present and past along with expert perspectives. Stem cells cost questions These kinds of questions on what are common and reasonable prices have continued in 2020. However, the types of queries have also evolved Read MorePaul KnoepflerFollowTimothy Caulfield@CaulfieldTim 6hOverused "clever" phrases for academic pub titles: "Lost in Translation" (Google scholar hits: 83,000+)"Mind the Gap" (54,000)"The Good, the Bad, and the X" (180,000)"May the Force..."
