Summary

On this week’s episode of Beauty Bytes, I am talking all about regenerative medicine and exosomes with transplant cardiologist Dr. Atta Behfar. Dr. Behfar received his M.D. from the Mayo Clinic School of Medicine and a Ph.D. in stem cell biology and molecular pharmacology and therapeutics from the Mayo Clinic Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences. He gives us an insider look into his cutting-edge research on exosomes, their function, and possible benefits. Exciting results have been coming out of the Mayo Clinic and his company, RION, in the clinical application of exosomes for cardiovascular injuries, wound healing, orthopedics, and anti-aging. Could exosomes be the next foundational pillar in skincare? Listen on to find out more!
