Mesenchymal stromal cells (non stem cells) have been approved by the FDA for clinical trials in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke

The world’s first allogeneic adipose derived mesenchymal stromal cells (AD MSCs) drug (NR-20201) developed by Tianshi Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke received clinical trial approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on October 26, 2024. It is reported that in the process of developing NR-20201, the company used artificial intelligence to analyze single-cell transcriptomics, cell life trajectories, and fate outcomes [1,2], confirming that the AD MSCs produced by Tasly’s standard preparation process are mesenchymal stromal cells rather than mesenchymal stem cells. Based on the difference between stromal cells and stem cells, this product has unique identification criteria and a mechanism of action different from stem cells. This product selects a suitable treatment time window based on the patient’s condition, promoting effective homing of cells after intravenous infusion. After cell homing, it works synergistically with endothelial cells to activate vascular regeneration and functional ...

brain-computer interface only costs $5,000

In reality, the brain-computer interface is connected to your brain at one end, extracting your ideas from the dense and complex neuronal electrical signals, and connected to external devices such as computers or machinery at the other end, directly bypassing your body to turn ideas into control signals and further execute commands. It does not need to rely on the peripheral nerves and muscle systems of your limbs to directly establish direct information exchange between the brain center and external devices. Musk released a monkey for experiment in 2021. The monkey typed a line of words “I want to eat snacks” on the computer through mind operation. This is supported by brain-computer interface technology. The cochlear implant that helps the disabled to obtain sound is the most successful and most popular technology for brain-computer interface so far. Its principle is to convert sound signals into electrical signals and transmit them ...
