Recently
Reflecting on our recent gathering, we delved into the cutting-edge advancements in reproductive health, particularly focusing on menstrual technology.
The Future of Cellular Medicine & Women's Health
In collaboration with Muse.bio, we recently co-hosted a pivotal event exploring the innovative landscape of women's and reproductive health technologies. The session highlighted the transformative potential of menstrual blood for stem-cell regenerative therapies. This includes its application in biobanking, diagnostics, and therapeutic modalities, effectively repurposing period blood - traditionally a discarded waste product - for significant regenerative potential.
