@Artemis2K please lead me to where this is being discussed, my stem cell friend! :) I could be wrong, but with what growth factors have the potential to do, that’s what makes me a huge advocate for exosome use with stem cells. Need to get down to that level to try to get the growth factor benefit.
@ErikaS IGF-1. Research on mammals outside of humans suggest it's capable of so much. Literally everything we could hope for. Stereocilia and support cell proliferation. Stereocilia and ribbon synapse repair. In other studies new ribbon synapse come with newly regenerated hair cells. I wish clinical research was focused on this alone.
@ErikaS I wrote about my recent curiosities in the "Maybe We Can Know More" thread. Anyway, IGF-1 is already FDA approved for certain ailments, although illegal in sports industry. For research purposes they can cost $100 per MG. I really, really wish we could convince an institute/uni to do a clinical study on this if it's so relatively inexpensive.
@ErikaS I played around with ChatGPT to see if it would agree with what I've theorized, and it echoed what I've believed from past research. Extremely interesting stuff.
Wow, great finds and points @Artemis2K , how would someone even go about bringing something like this to a research institution’s attention? Furthermore, would it even be worth discussing with those who are already doing stem cell / exosome protocols? Like I wonder what StemCell21 would respond with.
As for America, my experience with that clinic in Charlotte made me more worried about the willingness of experimentation from stem cell clinics, especially the ones that specialize in the sports injury treatments. They'd probably be worried about being in trouble with the FDA since IGF-1 is illegal for professional sports use. IGF-1 is approved for other genuine conditions though... @ErikaS
@ErikaS I've never tried to get an institution's attention like this. I probably wouldn't be able to do that alone. They'd probably write me off as a nobody lol. I'm really willing to try though. To be honest IGF-1 has been in discussion for about four years now. I kind of wish I had this idea back then. Then again, we didn't know as much about stereocillia, support cells, and ribbon synapse as we do now.
