Can stem cells therapy for diabetes, be an alternative to Ozempic?
Trigger Warning! This episode discusses topics centring around weight and weight loss, and diet culture. If you feel these topics may be triggering for you, feel free to switch to another of our episodes instead. 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.

AI in Stem Cell Therapies: Discussion Part I
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.You can find the video we were talking about on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmnCHDoyfX

Sustainability, Genetic Modification, and Advice of Investors in Advanced Therapies with Dr Dusko Ilic
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:
Is genetic modification in embryos ethical or not?
How important is regulation for the genetic modification future?
What is the importance of companies on accountability for misleading the predicted success of their stem cell-based products?
What are the challenges and the future of sustainability in the life sciences (including stem cells) industry?
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.
