CHAPTERS
Chapter 1 – Cell Biology and Basic Immunology
In this chapter, you will learn some of the historical perspectives, basic immunology, the types of regenerative cells that are available in the doctor’s office, and clinical applications (MSC, HC, EPC immune cells). In addition, you will learn the types of cell products derived from neonatal tissue, as well as their characterization and activity. This conference clarifies many concepts and expands on what you already know about regenerative medicine and stem cell therapy. It also serves as a complete introduction for those doctors who are less familiar with regenerative therapies especially with allogeneic cells derived from neonatal tissues.
Chapter 2 – Cell Products: Characterizations, Components and Properties
In this chapter, you will learn about Cord blood products and their mononuclear layer, its components, and the characterization of the different cell types within it.
Chapter 3 – Exosomes: Characterization, Review of Growth Factors and Cytokines
In this chapter, you will learn about the characterization of exosomes, and you will review growth factors and cytokines. In addition, the formation of biogenesis and composition, as well as the diversity of exosome functions and an overview of exosome-based diagnostics and therapies, will be discussed. Types of products available in the clinic. Treatment protocols. Conclusions and future perspectives.
Chapter 4 – Production, Manufacturing and Quality Control
In this chapter, laboratory manufacturing issues will be examined. Donor eligibility and exclusion criteria. The processes of control and management of tissue samples. We will then review the processing and laboratory standards for the production of these cellular components, as well as the quality control, testing and validation procedures for administration to patients.
Chapter 5 – Regulatory Overview
In this chapter, we will review the legal status of regulation of autologous and allogeneic cell therapies, as well as the FDA’s position on regenerative medicine and a moratorium currently in place on the use of cell therapies. In addition, we will discuss the HCT / P (Human Cells and Tissues and Cell and Tissue-Based Products) regulations and where the different types of cell treatments fall in these regulations, and provide an overview of homologous use concepts and considerations of minimal manipulation, as well as the difference between structural and cellular tissue.
Chapter 6 – Clinical Applications. Protocol discussion
This chapter provides a clinical framework for the application of cellular products. In addition, detailed treatment protocols and supporting scientific literature are provided. We also go over product storage and preparation, the patient selection process, and expectations for patients and their outcomes.
Chapter 7 – Injection Demonstration
In this chapter, we will provide recordings demonstrating the preparation of products and injections of different cell products and their combination with autologous products such as platelet-rich plasma. (Exosomes, Umbilical Cord Blood, Fatty Stem Cells, Bone Marrow Stem Cells, PRP Plasma, Plasma Gel)
Chapter 8 – Additional Lectures and Medical Procedures
In this chapter, we will provide some lectures on other commonly used cell sources and an overview of managing patient expectations and running a successful regenerative medicine practice from your hometown.
- Stem cells derived from bone marrow
The bone marrow has long been the main source of stem cells for use in treatments and remains one of the most effective sources of cells for use in treatments. This conference covers the science behind stem cells found in bone marrow, and provides an overview for doctors to extract and isolate.
- Regenerative Cells Derived from adipocytes (Stromal Vascular Fraction)
The adipose tissue of adult humans contains regenerative cells that are significantly easier to harvest than other cell types, and that show greater efficacy as they are used in the patient’s own treatment. This conference covers the science behind adiposity-derived regenerative cells, as well as their extraction and isolation.
Chapter 9 – Supporting Documents
In addition to the video content, you will also have access to a series of downloadable PDF files filled with valuable training information.
- The Book of Conditions
The Condition Book includes detailed guides to 7 groups of conditions and their treatment protocols using Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine. The conditions covered are:
- Alopecia Protocol.
Osteoarthritis and MSK diseases.
Protocol on erectile dysfunction.
Wound care protocol.
Chronic degenerative conditions protocol.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Autoimmune conditions protocol.
