The Latest Updates in Stem Cell Technology
Go Wellness Radio - A podcast by Regan Archibald
Today we have two special guests! Dan Kellams is a Functional Medicine Practitioner and Licensed Acupuncturist at GoWellness and Dr. Eliott Spencer is one of the world’s leading researchers in the stem cell field and he is also the co-founder of Utah Cord Bank. Today, we get the latest updates in stem cell research from them and they also discuss what sort of revelations they’ve discovered as of late. Key Takeaways: [1:30] Eliott explains what has changed in his StemVive product in the last couple of years. [8:20] Despite Eliott testing several different products on the market, there are no solid-tissue derived products that have any living cells in them. So, what are they typically used for? [15:25] When a mother has donated a placenta or even an umbilical cord to the lab, how much of that is actually used vs. discarded? [19:25] Eliott works closely with doctors and uses their expertise to help determine which mothers would qualify. [22:20] There are a lot of naysayers out there about using stem cells. What information would help them ease their mind about its usefulness? Dan has some thoughts. [30:15] When it comes to scaffolding proteins, what kind of proteins are out there? [36:40] What is ‘RNA’? [40:25] Eliott has been studying RNAs for over 30 years, yet he doesn’t feel like he’s fully grasped it all yet. [43:40] What is in exosomes? [46:30] What are some of the biggest challenges we are going to face in medicine?
