I sat in on a webinar this week and as a healthcare blogger I was the lowest denominator attending but wanted to listen in and find out about what others, scientists, doctors and the Geron CEO had to say. I do quite a few posts on the Quack here and thought this might be of interest since I have...

I started covering Cytori back in 2007 and if you do a search you can find plenty here at the Medical Quack to include the initial use in Europe and the fact that GE decided to invest and help commercialize. The system takes a women’s own fat cells and basically recycles them for breast restoration...

Regenerative medicine is moving so fast as it was just 2 months ago I posted about an up and coming trial to where a patient’s own stem cells from their bone marrow is being sprayed. The video here shows a man who was burned quite badly and when you see how the skin looked in about 4 days, this...

PBS really did a nice job with this video going through how body parts are being grown and where we are today. I have several posts on the blog about regenerative medicine and there are a few links at the bottom of the article. We are a lot closer than many may think as there are people walking...

If you read further about what types of technologies are to be targeted here, you can see healthcare will be right in there as so much of research and development in healthcare is software today. 3D modeling is mentioned and yes that’s right in there with imaging in healthcare. Just yesterday...

The FDA first approved the trials back in 2009 and it has been a bit of a rocky road with the trials being suspended for a a short period of time. in July of 2010 the clinical trial was able to resume. The funding in California is through the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine...

Stem cells are appearing almost everywhere today in regenerative medicine and a couple days ago I wrote about knee implants and stem cell therapies as possibly working either together or maybe even as a replacement. The tennis player sustained some injuries. There are even “spray on stem...

The results showed that the Revascor treatment reduced the number of patients who developed any major heart failures from 40% to 6.7%, and those are substantial numbers. Mesoblast is located in Australia. The company also has other areas of regenerative medicine with bone regrowth and they...

The discover was made by inhibiting a protein to slow the growth, and the findings are a result of 3 years of study. It is amazing as to what is being done with stem cells and the study here related to animals but in other research areas a prostate gland can be grown for research purposes too. ...

One more amazing technology taking place in Texas to where laser surgery is done as a minimally invasive procedure and then follow up with stem cell treatment or just the stem cells alone for pain management. This is the first I have heard for disc therapy as we are probably well aware of the spinal...
