Back to Episodes#437 - 🔵 [PAS 2026] - Is Cell Therapy for Neonatal Brain Injury Finally Within Reach? (ft. Dr. Atul Malhotra)
Description
Dr. Atul Malhotra, neonatologist and researcher at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, makes the case that cell therapy for neonatal brain injury is a slow burn that is finally gaining momentum. He shares why tempering expectations doesn't mean losing hope, how regulatory complexity sets stem cells apart from conventional therapies, and why cell therapy may look different for preterm infants with white matter injury versus term infants with HIE.
