Physician- and PhD-authored articles from the Med Plug RX research library, grounded in the peer-reviewed literature — readable here, cited to source.
The Med Plug RX research library — physician- and PhD-authored articles grounded in the peer-reviewed literature, with citations spanning Int J Mol Sci, Stem Cell Res Ther, Blood, Front Immunol and others. Verified physician accounts may request the full text and primary citations behind any article.
A field survey of how leading practices are moving from cell-based therapies toward cell-free biologics — extracellular vesicles and exosome preparations — and why the shift is being driven by handling, consistency and documentation advantages rather than marketing.
A review of umbilical cord PRP-derived extracellular vesicles: why neonatal source tissue yields a richer growth-factor and anti-inflammatory cargo than adult peripheral blood, and how acellular nanoparticles cross biological barriers that whole cells cannot.
An examination of what published clinical research actually demonstrates about adult, non-embryonic stem cell self-renewal after introduction to a host — separating documented findings from the claims frequently made around them.
A comparative analysis of culture-expanded versus native cell populations: native preparations retain a more diverse cell population, while culturing acts as a selection pressure and each additional passage raises mutation risk — the trade-offs that drive screening and characterization requirements.
An analysis of mitochondrial function in umbilical cord-derived stem cells and why metabolic activity is emerging as a meaningful quality signal for regenerative preparations.
The science behind CytoCord: what the epithelial cell populations of the umbilical cord lining contribute, and why whole-tissue preparations preserve signaling relationships that isolated fractions lose.
The science behind ExCyte: the role extracellular vesicles play within platelet-rich plasma, and how vesicle content — not platelet count alone — drives the signaling profile of a PRP-derived preparation.
A primer on intercellular signaling — the ligands, receptors and vesicle-mediated pathways through which cells coordinate — written for physicians who want the mechanism, not the marketing.
A review of the developing research on mitochondrial transfer between mesenchymal stromal cells and damaged tissue — one of the more remarkable documented mechanisms in the MSC literature.
What is established about mesenchymal stromal cells resident in umbilical cord tissue and Wharton's jelly — the source material behind cord-derived preparations — as the field moves from academic theory into applied life science.
