Weekly reads: stembryos or human embryo models, new Macchiarini sentence

June 25, 2023 / Professor Paul Knoepfler, Ph.D. / Leave a Comment

Researchers have been making stem cell-based embryo models for years now and a few folks have taken to calling these “stembryos.” Other names like gastruloids and blastoids are sometimes used too. “Embryo models” might be the simplest and best name. The embryo model research has advanced relatively quickly from very basic, not very organized structures […]

Did COVID derail FDA stem cell clinic plan?

June 30, 2022 / Professor Paul Knoepfler, Ph.D. / 2 Comments

The FDA stem cell clinic problem just continues to grow, while the agency has been oddly quiet in this space for more than a year.

Stem cell clinics and suppliers have been getting into the business of making promotional films to generate more revenue, but now there’s something very different in the cinematic stem cell arena called From Jail Cell to Stem Cell by filmmaker Doug Orchard. It is at its heart an exposé film about some in my view particularly concerning stem
