Olga Maslova: It is important to understand how regenerative mechanisms work in newborns

Regenerative Medicine – direction, which is a symbiosis of medicine, engineering and biology. The range of application of achievements in this area is potentially very wide, because stem cells have great potential.

Scientists have high hopes for the use of cell-regenerative technologies in aesthetic medicine in the future, as they can potentially make it possible to significantly slow down the aging process.

Within the framework of the III International Congress «SELFREGENERATION. The Science of Self-Renewal" organized by Emet™ Candidate of Biological Sciences, cell biologist, popularizer of science Olga Maslova shared with the readers of estet-portal.com her thoughts on trends in this direction, its prospects and problems arising in connection with the popularization of scientific achievements in the media.  

Why are cellular regenerative technologies of increasing interest among specialists?

Because they are in the spotlight of the whole world and there is constantly news in this industry. In addition, scientists and doctors have high hopes for cell regenerative technologies.

What are the current trends in this area? Interesting facts: the body's cell renewal cycle?

Trends, in fact, a lot,  but strategically, from what everyone is talking about now, this is just the topic of the SELFREGENERATION congress from Emet™ –  self-renewal, activation of the body's internal reserves.

Which of the false sensations around cellular technologies most harm their true recognition?

Generalizations hurt the most: when they say,  for example, that a cure for a particular disease has been found. False hopes also get in the way.

Stimulation of skin cells and their nutrition - an effective formula for facial rejuvenation?

Because when talking about the study of any particular pathological or regenerative process, experts & nbsp; can talk about it correctly, provide scientific data and be responsible for this information.

But often, as soon as the information gets into the media, very important details are omitted and only some loud fact remains. Moreover, it often turns out to be louder than it was originally stated in the experiment.

Accordingly, when someone starts digging deeper, the following happens: a person from a high-profile headline reaches the research, he gets disappointed and feels that he was deceived.

The problem is not that he was deceived, but that the information in the media was presented incorrectly. In fact, there is progress, and all the research is really aimed at doing something important. But for now, it must be recognized that successes consist of small steps, without sharp jerks. It is necessary to follow these successes, but not to distort the information.

What proven discoveries have been made recently?

There is no concept of "discovery" here; as such, because there are no achievements comparable to revolutionary changes. It’s just that every year knowledge is accumulated, deepened and, based on this, systemic approaches, strategies and a general view of the state of the human body are being formed.

It is very important to understand how the regenerative mechanisms work in newborns and adults in order to know what tools can be used to influence these conditions and how to slow down the destructive processes in our body. And again, there is no point discovery here, but there is an expansion of understanding, and for scientists this is very important.

Will the specialized events help practitioners to more widely implement cell regenerative technologies in practice?

It seems to me that the SELFREGENERATION congress was organized Emet™ in order to provide people with maximum objective information.  The event was attended by many practitioners who can provide not only a fundamental explanation, but  and practical advice. Therefore, I think that those who have listened to the reports of specialists and memorized at least part of the information will be able to implement this knowledge into their practice.
