Here is a podcast with the scientist who ran the clinical trial. At the end they tell you that they're going to try the same surgery w/ stem cells on babies who have spina bifida but have already been born. It's pretty fascinating to me that they think these stem cells can help babies that have already been born. https://www.ucdavis.edu/news/podcasts-and-shows/unfold/hope-spina-bifida-cure-part-2

Poor guy. So does this new clinical trial make you feel better? What's amazing to me is they're so confident in this stem cell patch technique that they're going to try it on babies who have already been born but suffer from spina bifida, they think they can help babies who have already been born. These placenta stem cells are supposed to be pretty dang revolutionary.

Hey I made a new post here where I lay out some revolutionary inventions that I know about that will change the world in the next 20 years so come back here and read through the comments again so you can see my new comment. Let me know what you think?

Is innovation slowing down? I'm not going to argue that point but I will tell you about a few inventions/innovations that I know about that will change the world in the next 10 or 20 years.

1. Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). So listen I know reddit tends to hate Joe Rogan but I have to give credit where it's due, I first learned about mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) thanks to Joe Rogan. Joe Rogan interviewed Mel Gibson because apparently Mel Gibson flew his dying 92yo father down to Panama to have him intravenously injected with umbilical cord MSCs, Mel says his father's recovery was miraculous. Hutton Gibson would ultimately die at 101 but the stem cells are most likely the reason he lived for that long. This is just the first ten minutes, the whole interview is on Spotify. https://youtu.be/uUCJo1j0S9s
2. Exosomes. Mesenchymal stem cells don't turn into any new tissue, what they do is they secrete microscopic molecules that stimulate the body to heal itself, these molecules are called exosomes. Scientific research into exosomes is currently booming. Exosomes are currently headed into clinical trials in the USA. Scientific American did an excellent article on exosomes. https://www.scientificamerican.com/custom-media/nature-outlook-extracellular-rna/inside-the-stem-cell-pharmaceutical-factory/

Now I need to make a point that umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells can literally cure congestive heart failure, and can treat autism, arthritis, MS, a whole bunch of autoimmune diseases, and even spinal cord injury, I know this sounds too good to be true but it is. There are over 100 clinical trials underway in the USA using mesenchymal stem cells. I think it's just a matter of time til the FDA approves MSCs. The scientist who runs the clinic in Panama who treated Mel Gibson says he has people come to his clinic with congestive heart failure and they're cured after getting umbilical cord MSCs, I know it's just anecdotal but the placebo controlled clinical trials happening in the USA will prove whether or not if this is the real deal, trust me it is the real deal.

3. The world's first fully reusable rocket Starship. Starship is the tallest rocket ever built and it's the most powerful rocket ever built. Starship was built by Elon Musk's company SpaceX in Texas and should have it's first launch here soon. Here watch this 5 minute CGI animation of Starship that shows how this rocket will land after returning from space, this is a fully reusable rocket and it will change the world! Starship will allow humanity to colonize the Moon and Mars, there will be people on Mars in the 2030s thanks to Elon Musk. This is a CGI animation but they've already built this thing in real life. https://youtu.be/-Oox2w5sMcA

4. So we should've had nuclear fusion by now but I would say fusion will finally be a reality by 2050 for sure (possibly sooner), there are many well funded private companies building their fusion reactor prototypes right now, and the excitement is building. I mean billions of dollars are being poured into several private fusion companies right now. I think the leader of the pack is this one, they are building their first fusion reactor right now https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_Fusion_Systems

5. AI is making leaps and bounds these days. I bet you haven't seen this or maybe you have but in 2018 Google showed the world a recording of their AI calling people on the phone to make appointments for haircuts and dinner reservations, the humans had no idea they spoke to a machine. If you haven't seen this yet it will blow your mind that an AI did this https://youtu.be/D5VN56jQMWM

I think AI will become self aware within 20 years and androids will follow soon thereafter. I'm telling you I think androids, a staple of sci-fi, will be a reality by 2050.

6. David Sinclair a Harvard scientist is claiming that they have figured out how to take old cells and rewind their biological clock, reversing them back into young youthful cells, it's called partial reprogramming, other scientists have also claimed to have done the same thing, so we'll see where this goes but this might be our ticket to immortality. Keep an eye on partial reprogramming. The world's second richest man Jeff Bezos recently invested in a longevity company called Altos Labs which is to pursue partial reprogramming as a means to defeat again and live forever. https://www.technologyreview.com/2021/09/04/1034364/altos-labs-silicon-valleys-jeff-bezos-milner-bet-living-forever/

7. Robots. Have you seen the video of the humanoid robots that can run and jump and do backflips? If you haven't seen this yet it will blow your mind!!! https://youtu.be/tF4DML7FIWk

Like i said I think androids will be a reality by 2050. I could be wrong but look at how fast AI is moving.

8. Last but not least. This was just posted today here on Futurology, check this out https://www.reddit.com/r/Futurology/comments/y89eav/a_cure_for_spina_bifida_in_a_groundbreaking/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

​

edit: there are actually over 200 clinical trials in the USA using mesenchymal stem cells.

Sarcasm? Have you ever heard about mesenchymal stem cells or exosomes? Here Scientific American did an excellent article on exosomes https://www.scientificamerican.com/custom-media/nature-outlook-extracellular-rna/inside-the-stem-cell-pharmaceutical-factory/

This is how I first learned about umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells https://youtu.be/uUCJo1j0S9s

There are over 100 clinical trials in the USA using umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells. Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells can literally cure congestive heart failure, trust me I've been researching it for years now.

AI is making such leaps and bounds I expect AI to become self aware by 2050, and androids to follow soon thereafter.

Elon Musk has built the world's tallest rocket in Texas called Starship. Starship is a fully reusable rocket, here watch this 5 minute animation of the Starship rocket, it shows you how this rocket lands after coming back from space. Because of Starship people will be on Mars by 2035, watch https://youtu.be/-Oox2w5sMcA

Yeah innovation is not slowing down. There are legitimate scientists saying that they have figured out how to reverse the age of old cells back into youthful cells, this might lead to immortality, it's called partial reprogramming Google it.

Hey do me a favor and browse through the Futurology posts til you see the one about how they used placenta derived mesenchymal stem cells to cure spina bifida in California, this was just posted today you'll see it. Please read the article and get back to me?

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.

Innovation is not slowing down. Ever heard of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) or exosomes for example? Hell some scientists are saying they can take the biological clock of a cell and reverse it, age reversal, this could be the way to immortality. Umbilical cord MSC can literally cure congestive heart failure. Go on spotify and watch the Joe Rogan episode where he interviews Mel Gibson. Umbilical cord MSCs will revolutionize modern medicine. We have prototypes of quantum computers now. AI will be self aware in less than 20 years. Androids will be a reality by 2050. There will be a colony on Mars by 2035 thanks to Elon Musk, go on youtube and search SpaceX starship rocket.

Joe Rogan is how I first learned about umbilical cord MSCs, watch his interview of Mel Gibson. There are over 100 clinical trials in the USA going on using umbilical cord MSCs. Did I mention that people will be living on Mars by 2035 thanks to Elon Musk, have you seen the new Starship rocket Elon built in Texas? Starship is the world's first fully reusable rocket and it's also the tallest rocket ever built, it's also the most powerful rocket ever built.
