In this episode, we delve into the world of diabetes treatment, exploring the benefits and side effects of Ozempic, a popular drug used to treat type 2 diabetes. We also discuss the recent shortages of Ozempic and the impact it has had on patients. We also take a closer look at alternative treatments for diabetes, specifically stem cell therapies for type 1 diabetes. We discuss the potential benefits of this cutting-edge treatment and the progress made in this field. Join us as we explore the exciting advancements in diabetes treatment and the various options available for patients.
In this episode, we discussed artificial intelligence's role in stem cell therapies by diving into the work of Cellino, a start-up biotech led by Nabiha Saklayen (co-founder) and Marina Madrid (co-founder) and Matthias Wagner. Their patented technology could hold some of the answers to how AI can help automate the stem cell manufacturing process making future treatments more affordable, scalable and standardised.
Also, stick around to the end; you might even get a cheeky book recommendation.

In this episode of Seriously Stem Cells, we sit down with, Thea Collier-Lawlor, a master's student from the Stem Cells & Regenerative Therapies: From Bench to Market program at King's College London.
Our guest shares her passion for stem cells and discusses the importance of studying this innovative field. She also sheds light on the benefits of stem cell research and provides insights into her personal experience as a stem cell researcher.
Join us as we dive deep into the world of stem cells and explore the exciting opportunities this field has to offer.
In today's episode. Pim will be sharing her understanding of stem cell therapies which are used in the field of sports medicine. She will dive deep into the type of injuries you can find in various sports and the benefits of stem cells used on specific sports injuries. The episode will be answering the following questions surrounding this topic:
Today we are back with our first guest episode with KCL's top Professor in Stem Cells, Dr Dusko Illic, who happens to be my professor from Stem Cells & Regenerative Therapies: From Bench to Market masters program. In the episode, we will debunk some stem cells myths and dive deep into what you need to know about stem cells in our 'Stem Cells in Context' segment:
Having a leg in the commercial sector, our professor's advice on investment in the stem cell industry is something you cannot miss. He specifically highlights what makes me most excited by the stem cell industry. In his words, "It will be as exciting as the discovery of antibiotics".
We also value the man behind the science with a series of 'Getting to know you' questions in the new segment.
In this episode, Ayo and I are back and we are discussing the topic of growing the brain outside a body is a reality worth exploring. We dive into the beneficial uses of brain growth outside the body and the challenges that come with it. We close the episode with the ethics surrounding this topic.

In this episode, we're giving audiences an update on the latest news of stem cell technologies. The episode highlights the collaboration between a clinical-stage biotech company, Arcellx, and a biopharmaceutical giant, Kite, a Gilead company, on the CART therapy candidate targeting BCMA antigen on multiple myeloma (MM) known as CART-ddBCMA. The candidate is based on a proprietary platform technology D-Domain of Arcellx that aims to improve the efficiency and effective of CART target recognition. Here is more about the candidate in the episode based on the press conference news of Kite and Arcellx.
In today's episode, I will be discussing the relevance of Neural Stem Cells or NSCs in the treatment of neurological disease, with a focus on multiple sclerosis. Ayo and I have decided to split the episode into two parts, this is part I so there is more coming! These are the subtopics that will be mentioned in the episode:

In this week's episode, Ayo and I discuss the topic of haematopoietic stem cells or HSCs. We continue our exploration into the world of stem cells. The episode starts off with a recap of the previous episode and an introduction to the HSCs world.
The episode introduces HSCs system or haematopoiesis and its importance to the transplantation of HSCs. The factors, both extrinsic and intrinsic, which affect the storage and regulation of HSC are also discussed. Ayo dives deep into the diseases affected by an abnormality or lack of HSC. We finish off the episode with therapeutic treatments by HSCs, including HSC transplantation and gene therapy is discussed at length.
