3.18 - The limitations of plastic surgery when it came to tissue repair and regeneration.
3.55 - How water salamanders can completely regenerate tissue after injury, and how this inspired more research into regenerative medicine.
5.05 - Dr.Sam's story has numerous similarities to Dr.Ali's story.
7.10 - Dr.Sam describes seeing incredible regeneration of skin on burn wound victims after gas explosions.
7.40 - Aesthetic medicine can be described as "controlled injury".
8.50 - Dr.Ali was very interested in cleft palates, deformities, and the stigma that is attached to scarring.
12.58 - We explore why there is resistance in the medical field and in the public to regenerative medicine.
17.45 - A contributing factor to some resistance was a Korean scientist who's research was discredited after it was shown that some of the data was falsified.
19.45 - Who is doing these types of treatments using stem cells?
24.10 - Many unqualified people are taking advantage of the grey areas in the legislation surrounding regenerative medicine.
25.27 - Regenerative medicine is being called 'stem cell treatments' by many, but if people knew the difference they might select their practitioner/clinic a bit more carefully.
28.08 - In 1982, embryonic stem cells were actually thought to be cancer cells!
28.59 - Dr.Ali explains that we ourselves were once totipotent stem cells.
30.22 - During early development, as we grow from 4 - 8 cells, we lose the ability to be totipotent.
31.20 - Cells change from totipotent cells to multipotent and pluripotent cells.
33.20 - Selectively isolating tissue and administering it properly is what regenerative medicine is when done correctly.
35.43 - There is huge importance to having specific training and understanding the finer details when performing a regenerative treatment.
37.53 - It is not ethical to tell a client that you are giving them a "stem cell therapy".
38.33 - Dr.Ali distinguishes between research based stem cell medicine and standard regenerative treatments.
39.34 - The best terminology to use in this field is "regenerative cells".
42.55 - There are stem cell banks where specific research and cell isolation is possible, but that is different from regenerative medicine.
44.28 - It is illegal to falsely claim or advertise a specific stem cell clinic.
46.00 - Regenerative medicine is going to expand.
46.44 - As a consumer, should you be wary of clinics claiming 'stem cell treatments'?
