In this interview, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jason Mills, a Herman Brown Endowed Professor at Baylor College of Medicine, known for his groundbreaking research on paligenosis. This fascinating cellular process allows differentiated cells to revert to a more primitive state, enabling them to re-enter the cell cycle and promote tissue regeneration. We discussed the implications of his findings on healing and cancer, exploring how understanding paligenosis could lead to innovative therapies and a deeper comprehension of cellular plasticity in various organs.
Love the “professional stem cells” concept. Rapamycin mentioned at 33:40. And at 45:45 too: “Rapamycin is a deal breaker for paliogenosis” as expected due to its function as mTOR inhibitor. But there are good rapanews down the way too …
