In this episode, Vic speaks with Mark Durante, founder of RiseUP Medical, about the cutting-edge world of biologics and regenerative medicine. They explore how biologics like PRP, PRF, stem cells, and exosomes are being applied in areas such as neuropathy, orthopedic injuries, aesthetics, and sexual health. Mark explains the science behind cell therapies, including mesenchymal stem cells and Wharton's Jelly, and discusses RiseUP’s role in bridging labs and physicians to expand treatment options. They also review recent peer-reviewed studies focused on diabetic and chemo-induced neuropathy and discuss how regenerative treatments may complement or reduce the need for pharmaceuticals and surgery. Mark shares his personal journey from heart failure and near-disability to recovery through biologics, turning his experience into a mission to advance access and innovation in this space.
