Wiegers Chief Medical Officer at MuseCell Innovations Instagram: www.instagram.com/jeffwiegers [https://www.instagram.com/jeffwiegers/] Website: musecellinnovations.com [https://musecellinnovations.com/] ---------- What if a naturally occurring stem cell subpopulation could home to sites of injury and support tissue repair across multiple indications? Phil Newman and Dr. Nina Patrick sit down with Dr. Dominik Duscher, MD PhD, President and CEO of MuseCell Innovations, and Dr. Jeffrey Wiegers, MD, Chief Medical Officer, to explore the unique properties of Dezawa MuseCells®. In this session, they describe these cells as highly enriched in a purified product with pluripotent-like potential, signaling that enables targeted homing, and immune tolerance that supports allogeneic use without major immune activation, based on early human experience. From first-in-human intravenous use in acute myocardial infarction showing safety and encouraging left ventricle performance signals, to randomized placebo-controlled subacute ischemic stroke data showing higher response rates than placebo, they walk through human trial experience without overstating effects. They also discuss repeated intravenous dosing in an amyotrophic lateral sclerosis study suggesting stabilizing signal with minimal adverse events, single-arm spinal cord injury data, and early work in neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy showing recovery signals in some infants. They also address broader practicalities around manufacturing rigor, quality control, and provider competency as determinants of safety in clinical settings, and they describe the need for clear documentation and oversight to avoid unlicensed or inferior products. In this episode, you’ll learn: * Why pluripotency, homing ability, and immune tolerance are considered key features of Dezawa MuseCells® and how these properties may relate to tissue repair. * What early human studies in conditions like heart attack, stroke, ALS, spinal cord injury, and neonatal brain injury have shown in terms of safety and early clinical signals. * Why manufacturing quality, purification, and standardization are critical for consistency and safety in cell-based therapies. * Why clinician expertise and proper oversight matter when these therapies move from research into clinical use. * How to think about verifying product authenticity and avoiding unregulated or non-standard cell therapies. If you want to understand the biological features, emerging human data, and practical considerations around Dezawa MuseCells® as discussed by leaders in the field, this episode connects cellular biology with real-world context for regenerative medicine and longevity.

Phil Newman and Dr. Nina Patrick sit down with Jenny Duan, CEO of Clair, and Abhinav Argawal, CTO, to explore how a jewelry-inspired wrist wearable uses multi-sensor biosignals to infer estrogen and progesterone in real time across daily life. They explain how signals such as skin temperature, HRV, sweat response, intracellular and extracellular current shifts, and more than 100 derived biomarkers are combined through sensor fusion to model hormone trajectories that update throughout the day. From forecasting an athlete’s rate of perceived exertion days before training to identifying progesterone patterns associated with PCOS and endometriosis risk, these examples show what continuous data reveals that snapshot testing cannot. The discussion also uncovers how this level of visibility allows the female cycle to be understood as nine distinct sub-phases rather than the traditional four. They also discuss how lifestyle context, such as sleep, hydration, stress, and schedule, is integrated into the model to avoid contradictions between device feedback and lived experience. Early beta studies across PCOS, endometriosis, and perimenopause cohorts are already informing how this data can support fertility planning and symptom awareness. In this episode, you’ll learn: * Why the female cycle can be divided into nine hormone sub-phases * How 230 biomarkers are refined into 100 inputs for hormone modeling * How athletes can adjust hydration and nutrition before exertion spikes * How progesterone trends may signal risk patterns for PCOS and endometriosis * Why fertility and perimenopause represent 60% of early pre-orders If you want to understand how continuous hormone visibility reshapes female health decisions across life stages, this episode connects biosensing, AI modeling, and practical insights for longevity.

Pending FDA clearance, the company plans a Phase 1/2a study evaluating safety, dosing and early efficacy in advanced pancreatic cancer patients resistant to conventional immunotherapy. * Fractyl Health received European approval to begin a first-in-human Phase 1/2 trial of RJVA-001, GLP-1 gene therapy for obesity and type 2 diabetes. The therapy uses endoscopic ultrasound-guided pancreatic delivery to program beta cells to produce GLP-1 in response to meals rather than relying on repeated injections. * Ossium Health presented clinical trial data showing successful engraftment using cryopreserved bone marrow collected from deceased organ donors. Researchers believe the banking platform could eventually simplify bone marrow transplantation logistics and expand future immune system renewal applications. * Cyclarity shared new progress on therapies targeting 7-ketocholesterol, an oxidized cholesterol molecule linked to plaque instability and chronic arterial inflammation. Rather than slowing plaque growth, the company aims to physically remove toxic cholesterol deposits already embedded within blood vessel walls. * Microbiotica reported positive Phase 1b MELODY-1 trial data for MB097, a microbiome therapy containing nine bacterial strains combined with KEYTRUDA in advanced melanoma patients. The therapy showed successful gut engraftment and encouraging signals that microbiome modulation may help overcome immunotherapy resistance. * The episode also explored health equity in longevity medicine with Poonam Desai ahead of The Longevity Show.

Phil Newman and Dr. Nina Patrick sit down with Valter Longo, USC Longevity Institute researcher and architect of the fasting mimicking diet, to explore how short, periodic fasting cycles may interact with aging biology, insulin signaling, and tissue regeneration. Together they break down how the fasting mimicking diet differs from water fasting and simple calorie restriction, and why its plant based, low protein, low sugar, and high fat composition is designed to maintain protection while still triggering nutrient sensing pathways. Longo explains how in clinical and preclinical data, repeated cycles have shown improvements in insulin resistance, reductions in diabetes medication use by 60 to 70% in some cohorts, and measurable shifts in metabolic biomarkers compared to Mediterranean diet controls. The conversation also explores mechanistic findings, including autophagy activation peaking around day five in human studies, stem cell associated regeneration signals, and embryonic like gene expression patterns observed in multiple organ systems. In animal models, these cycles have been associated with pancreatic regeneration, kidney repair after induced damage, and normalization of cholesterol and glucose regulation. In this episode, you’ll learn: * Autophagy activation and peak biological signaling observed around day five in human fasting mimicking protocols * Clinical trials in diabetes showing 60 to 70% reduction in medication use within one year in some populations * Animal studies showing reversal of severe metabolic dysfunction with monthly fasting mimicking cycles * Protein restriction and mTOR IGF-1 signaling pathways repeatedly linked with lifespan extension across multiple species * Risk discussion around prolonged fasting triggering energy conserving metabolic adaptation states If you want to understand how structured fasting protocols may interact with aging pathways, metabolic disease, and regenerative biology, this episode connects clinical evidence with evolutionary and mechanistic frameworks shaping modern longevity science.
