Here UC Davis made a 4 part mini documentary on this groundbreaking clinical trial to cure spina bifida with placenta stem cells https://youtu.be/TGvHRqsopQo

Yeah my account is less than 5 days old so thanks for reposting my article. People need to understand that they used placenta derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on these babies.

I know Joe Rogan isn't too popular here on Reddit but Joe Rogan is how I first learned about mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the first place, so I have to give credit where it's due. This is just the first ten minutes of the interview, the whole interview is on Spotify, this is how I originally learned about umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells https://youtu.be/uUCJo1j0S9s

So yeah, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be isolated from the placenta or umbilical cord. MSCs can also be taken from your own bone marrow or belly fat. But umbilical cord MSCs are super young and supercharged. I believe MSCs will change modern medicine like penicillin did. I think placenta/umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells will revolutionize modern medicine.

I actually know of a small relatively unknown U.S. biotech company that's currently going through a phase 3 trial for covid-19 ARDS using umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) https://therapeuticsolutionsint.com/therapeutic-solutions-international-announces-launching-of-phase-iii-clinical-trial-for-treating-covid-19-lung-damage-using-its-jadicell-universal-donor-stem-cell-drug/

There are over 100 clinical trials ongoing in the USA using mesenchymal stem cells, and over 1,000 worldwide. I think it's just a matter of time til umbilical cord MSCs are approved by the FDA. Is there a difference between placenta derived MSCs or umbilical cord MSCs, there could be, but there are hundreds of clinical trials going on all around the world using MSCs so we'll eventually find out what the best source of MSCs is.

I'm super excited about mesenchymal stem cells!!!

One final thing to note. MSCs go into the body and start secreting molecules that stimulate regeneration, these molecules are called exosomes. Believe it or not research into exosomes is booming right now, there are companies that are collecting the exosomes and are injecting it into people, exosomes are also going into clinical trials as we speak. I'm hearing amazing things about MSC derived exosomes. Scientific American did an excellent article on exosomes https://www.scientificamerican.com/custom-media/nature-outlook-extracellular-rna/inside-the-stem-cell-pharmaceutical-factory/

edit: There's actually over 200 clinical trials in the USA using mesenchymal stem cells.
