Written by: Dr Steve Fong Medically Reviewed by: One Day MD Editorial Team Beauty is no longer defined solely by fillers, lasers, or surgery. In 2026, regenerative aesthetics using MSCs (Mesenchymal Stem Cells) is emerging as one of the most exciting frontiers in anti-aging and skin rejuvenation. MSC-based therapy focuses on supporting the body’s natural ability to repair and rejuvenate itself at the cellular level. Rather than simply masking the visible signs of aging, regenerative medicine aims to enhance skin quality, stimulate collagen production, support tissue repair, and improve overall skin health from within. Potential Benefits of MSC-Based Aesthetic Therapy Skin rejuvenation and radiance Improved collagen production and skin elasticity Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles Hair and scalp rejuvenation Faster recovery after aesthetic procedures Support for scar healing and tissue repair Natural-looking anti-aging results MSCs are known for releasing regenerative growth factors a...

What’s exciting about stem cells is that they are already in your body and ready to help with repair and healing. You can activate them naturally to improve your health. These strategies are not as therapeutic or powerful as stem cell therapy but they are very helpful for the body’s healing process. William W. Li MD writes in his book “Eat to Beat Disease,” “Your immune cells are regenerated every seven days, so if your stem cells disappeared, you’d likely die of an infection soon after.” However, you can increase your stem cells by certain lifestyle and nutritional factors.  What are stem cells? Stem cells  are a type of cell that has the potential to develop into different cell types in the body. Because of this, these types of cells can serve as a repair system and theoretically divide without limit to replenish other cells for as long as you are alive. When a stem cell divides, each "daughter" cell has the potential to either remain a stem cell or be...

One of the most promising approaches in cellular therapies is immunotherapies using engineered T cells or natural killer (NK) cells expressing chimeric antigen receptors (CARs). Will CAR-NK cell therapies overshadow traditional CAR-T options for the treatment of some cancers?   Recently researchers have tried to modify natural killer (NK) cells with chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) to increase potential to bind and destroy cancer cells, known as NK cell therapy. Here we describe the differences between CAR T cell therapies and CAR NK cell therapies to consider when developing cancer treatments for patients. What is CAR-T? T cells are part of the adaptive immune system and are intended to generate a long lasting protective immune response. By engineering T cells with the Natural Killer Group 2D (NKG2D) receptor, they become NKG2D CAR T cell therapies. What is CAR-NK?  NK cells are a part of the innate immune system and are the first line of defense against foreign infections a...

Once reserved for the world's pro athletes and billionaires, the global stem cells market size was valued at USD 17.02 billion in 2024. The market is projected to grow from USD 19.34 billion in 2025 to USD 55.75 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 16.3% during the forecast period.  North America dominated the stem cells market with a market share of 53.11% in 2024.
