Howard G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "TikTok Videos Attract Stem Cell Donors Social media can be a powerful tool for 21st century crowdsourcing. A collaborative study from Yale and the University of Toronto studied the usefulness of TikTok videos for recruiting cell, tissue, and organ donors. The researchers presented 30 TikTok videos to 46 participants 17 to 35 years of age and surveyed their reactions. Data shows that well-designed videos increased willingness to register as donors and agree to donate. Analyzing the most successful videos, they find that infotainment wins over pure education with a preachy or arrogant flair. The most effective clips feature young people with ages similar to those of the target audience. With an estimated 1-1.5 billion daily users on TikTok, but 3 billion on Instagram and the same on Facebook, social media has a spectacular reach. That opens the doors to attract just the right donors who will save lives. As a pediatric surgeon and medical journalist, I’m delighted to be broadcasting on all 3 platforms. It is terrific that younger people on social media are using it for worthy causes that make our world better. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2026-01-tiktok-young-stem-cell-donors.html#google_vignette https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanhae/article/PIIS2352-3026(25)00287-X/abstract #tiktok #socialmedia #donation #stemcell"

I've been writing about research on stem-cell-derived therapies since my son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes more than 20 years ago.

Here's a take on off-the-shelf cell therapies that are now in early clinical trials:

Hopes for hypoimmunity

Transplantation Without Immunosuppression. Stanford transplant immunologists have developed a transplantation technique employing an induced hybrid or chimeric immune system in the recipient. #transplantation #diabetes #hybrid #stemcell #immunosuppression
https://www.instagram.com/p/DSBPxskDW56/

Howard G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "Transplantation Without Immunosuppression Organ transplantation is a miracle for those with failing kidneys, hearts, or livers. With those transplants comes the need for lifelong immunosuppression and the risk of infection as well as graft failure due to an immune attack. With the hope of eliminating the need for this immunosuppression, Stanford transplant immunologists and developmental biologists have developed a transplantation technique employing an induced hybrid or chimeric immune system in the recipient. They now publish their studies using this system to successfully transplant insulin-producing pancreatic islet cells in diabetic mice. The researchers performed the dual transplantation of the pancreatic islet cells but also white cell-forming stem cells from the genetically-mismatched donor. To permit the stem cells to escape rejection and develop the hybrid immune system, the recipient animals received a one-time pretreatment with low dose radiation and several immunosuppressive agents. All of the animals so treated developed the hybrid-chimeric immune system that allowed them to remain tolerant and fully accept the islet cell transplants without further immunosuppression and with excellent islet cell insulin production. The recipients’ new chimeric immune system did not attack their own cells or organs, so-called graft versus host disease. This is such a ground-breaking development, let’s review it with a diagram from the published paper. Pancreatic islet cells and bone marrow cells from the un-related donor are harvested and transplanted into the diabetic recipient whose immune system has been temporarily weakened with low dose radiation and anti-T cell antibodies. The recipient’s immune system becomes permanently tolerant to the donor’s cells and the transplanted islet cells remain functional and produce insulin curing the diabetes. This hybrid immune system does not attack the recipients cells either. This opens the door for not only islet cell transplantation in humans but also immunosuppression-free heart, liver, and kidney transplantation. #transplantation #diabetes #hybrid #stemcell #immunosuppression"

Researchers at Stanford have developed a technique to induce a hybrid immune system in transplant recipients, making it possible to transplant organs without the need for lifelong immunosuppression. This innovation could lead to a new era of immunotherapy and improve the lives of millions.
