Very Small Embryonic-Like Stem Cells (VSELs)

This presentation explores the emerging field of Very Small Embryonic-Like Stem Cells (VSELs), based on pioneering work by Dr. Anwar from the University of Lahore. VSELs are pluripotent, stress-activated cells found in bone marrow and peripheral blood, showing promise in regenerative medicine. Clinical applications discussed include osteoarthritis, spinal fractures, disc herniations, and even ocular and dermatologic conditions. The talk reviews harvesting protocols, differentiation potential, and impressive case studies highlighting cartilage regeneration, bone healing, and tissue repair. With growing interest in the U.S., this research represents a promising future for cell-based therapies across diverse medical fields.
