It is 20 years since induced pluripotent stem cells shook biomedicine. Public trust must be retained now that clinical trials are well under way.

Marcus’ legacy lives on, and his philanthropic foundation now nods to one of his original passions: medicine. https://marcusfoundation.org/” href=“https://marcusfoundation.org/”>The Marcus Foundation, established in 1989 by Bernie and his wife, Billi, donated $28.7 million to Dr. Chuck Murry, director of the University of Southern California’s Stem Cell Center, to advance clinical trials of s…

As stem cell therapies move from experimental trials into routine clinical practice, researchers are raising a critical alarm: current manufacturing standards may be missing a key factor that determines whether these treatments actually work. The protein quality control systems of donor cells--their capacity to maintain healthy proteins under stress--deteriorate as cells age during laboratory exp…

Scientists are shedding new light on a little-known biological system that could help unlock the full potential of stem cell therapy, one of the most promising areas of modern medicine.

I’ve been following the Huntington’s disease space carefully for about 15 years. I always hoped that some kind of promising gene therapy might emerge. Stem cell therapies or combination cell-gene therapies could have promise for Huntington’s too. Over the years, I got to know Judy Roberson, a wonderful HD patient advocate. I’m going to start […] The post Weekly reads: FDA reversal on Huntington’s…

Scientists at Keck Medicine of USC are testing an experimental stem cell therapy that aims to restore the brain’s ability to produce dopamine, the chemical whose loss drives Parkinson’s disease. The early-stage clinical trial involves implanting lab-grown dopamine-producing cells directly into a key movement-control region of the brain, with the hope of slowing disease progression and improving m…

Stem cell therapy for post-MI heart failure might deserve a second look, after the PREVENT-TAHA8 trial demonstrated that mesenchymal stem cell infusion within days of STEMI significantly reduced 3-year HF incidence. Based in Iran, the PREVENT-TAHA8 trial, randomized 396 patients following LAD STEMI with LVEF <40%, to receive either an intracoronary mesenchymal stem cell infusion […] The post PREV…

How much does stem cell therapy cost in late 2025? How have prices changed from past years? To authoritatively answer these questions now, we need data along with expert perspectives. I’ve been tracking stem cell treatment cost for about a decade now. Some surprises emerged in a new analysis I did on the current cost […] The post Stem cell therapy cost goes up & what to consider looking ahead app…

How high is stem cell therapy cost now? Is it higher or lower than in the past? Every few years, I run polls asking readers of The Niche who have gotten stem cell therapies to provide data. I ask them how much they paid per therapy and how many injections they got. The reason for […] The post Polling on stem cell therapy cost: what did you pay & how many did you get? appeared first on The Niche .

How to Find Excellence in Stem Cell Treatment Metatrend #4: Longevity, Medicine & Biotechnology What it is The stem cell landscape is undergoing its most dramatic shift in decades. Florida just broke the mold: SB 1768 allows non-FDA-approved stem cell therapies for orthopedic conditions, wound care, and chronic pain. Effective July 1, 2025. Utah followed with placental stem cell authorization. Te…

I want to discuss a recent development with Humacyte and the FDA, but first, please check out a new video below that is a discussion between student Parmin Sedigh and me on the idea of stem cells for heart disease. Parmin has also written for The Niche and has her own site too. I am impressed […] The post Weekly reads: Humacyte, retinal stem cells, stem cell therapy for knees & hearts appeared fi…
