Stem cell injections- regenexx vs ROW
I only offer PRP at this time not stem cell.
However, I noticed that the regenexx people don’t just perform a single stem cell injection they do a series, so some kind of growth factors/nutrients a week or two before the actual stem cell injection.
Is there any significant evidence of benefit for the other injections beside the actual stem cell injections?
(I realize that the stem cells themselves are not completely “proven” either for peripheral joint OA) (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Potential Masters Degree?
Hello everyone,
I was considering doing a Masters program to increase my chances of vet school admissions for the new cycle but am unsure of which program will be favored more over the other. My three options are a MS in Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine, MPH, or the MS in Veterinary Science. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

If you could research anything...?!
Hi everyone! I am a current first-year MD/PhD student. I go to a T20 school with pretty diverse & extensive research opportunities. My research background is pretty diverse, and I find lots of areas interesting. My question is, what area of research do you think is going to explode within the next 10-20 years? What type of project/department should I get involved with during my PhD so that I will be most successful in say 20 years? Stem cells? Immunotherapy for cancer? Gut microbiome...

C1-2 prolotherapy
Check out this video. Through some late night internet research I went down a rabbit hole and stumbled upon this guy. Perused his clinic website and apparently he trained under the father/founder of prolotherapy. He also does a lot of PRP and stem cell injections as well. Anyone see anything awry in this video? I mean how on earth does he know where he is when only using lateral? Seems dangerous no? (Source: Student Doctor Network)
