Weekly reads: BioViva & life-extension clinic, RMATs, universal cells

May 14, 2023 / Professor Paul Knoepfler, Ph.D. / 2 Comments

BioViva CEO Liz Parrish in YouTube video.

I’ve written before about Liz Parrish and her life-extension firm BioViva. Now they appear to have connections with another entity called Integrated Health Systems or IHS, according to a new Wired article. Some of what is going on with IHS and maybe BioViva in Mexico seems extremely risky to me. BioViva, Parrish, and Integrated Health Systems The […]

Can stem cell therapy for back pain work?

May 3, 2023 / Professor Paul Knoepfler, Ph.D. / 3 Comments

I often get asked about where things stand with stem cell therapy for back pain, which is the focus of today’s post. Back pain is a complex condition with many potential causes. New treatments are needed as existing approaches often don’t work that well. What about stem cells? Stem cell therapy or other cell therapy

How many academic scientists could pass a likable person test?

March 21, 2023 / Professor Paul Knoepfler, Ph.D. / 1 Comment

What if there was a likable person test that we could take to see how other people really view us scientists? How would that work? It turns out that a sense of likability might be more influential in academia than some of us might think, but it’s often problematic too. This came to mind because

Grading my 2022 regenerative medicine predictions

December 20, 2022 / Professor Paul Knoepfler, Ph.D. / 4 Comments

It’s that time of year again when I grade my previous year’s predictions for the stem cell & regenerative medicine space. Overall, I did better than a typical year. I give the 2022 predictions an A- overall. This exercise can be kind of fun but also humbling. For example, I tend to be too optimistic

Weekly stem cell reads: bat stem cells, brainier organoids, more

October 2, 2022 / Professor Paul Knoepfler, Ph.D. / 1 Comment

I’m working to send out a big grant on Tuesday so I’m busier than ever but a few stem cell and regenerative medicine stories caught my eye. I can’t write grants 24/7 without a few breaks although sometimes it feels like that’s what I’m doing. Bat stem cell derivation Pluripotent bat stem cells as a

Weekly reads: our new brain tumor paper, levitation, dear doctor, Japan, more

May 22, 2022 / Professor Paul Knoepfler, Ph.D. / Leave a Comment

There’s nothing quite like getting a new paper out as a scientist running a research lab so this week we can celebrate our new pediatric brain tumor study. I’ll start the weekly reads with that paper. Of course, getting new grants is amazing too but there’s more of a feel of completion after a paper

Altos Labs: mission, leadership, jobs, & CIRM

April 12, 2022 / Professor Paul Knoepfler, Ph.D. / 3 Comments

At the beginning of the year I wrote about a new kind of biotech called Altos Labs. It’s very different in some ways from other institutions. I find it an intriguing research entity. Where do things stand now with Altos Labs a few months later? More information, new ideas, and questions have popped up in the

Hub of Regenerative Medicine & Stem Cell Meetings 2022

April 1, 2022 / Professor Paul Knoepfler, Ph.D. / Leave a Comment

Science must go on and so must stem cell meetings in 2022 with all those great conferences out there, but hopefully this year will be better than 2020-2021. It seems that way with the pandemic easing in the U.S. and many other places. On the other hand, COVID is spiking in Asia and other regions.

January 20, 2022 / Professor Paul Knoepfler, Ph.D. / 2 Comments

I wrote briefly a few months ago about Altos Labs. It’s a new kind of biotech institute that is focused on cellular reprogramming. Now we know much more and it’s clear this is a huge deal. What’s in this article What is Altos Labs? | Cellular rejuvenation | Reprogramming oldness | Challenges | Altos Strategies | Analysis of
