COVID-19 experts discuss exosomes and mesenchymal stem cells as experimental treatment for ARDS/COVID-19
Experts will discuss experimental treatments, including exosomes and mesenchymal stem cells, for acute respiratory distress syndrome in COVID-19 patients.
In this webinar, learn more about the ongoing research and clinical trials to manage acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in COVID-19 patients. Two experts will share their extensive experience with therapies using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and the small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) that MSCs produce as potential treatments for COVID-19 patients with ARDS.
This webinar was recorded on 4 June 2020.

Speakers:
Michael Matthay
Professor of Medicine at the School of Medicine, University of California San Francisco (UCSF; CA, USA)
Ben Buller
Associate Scientist in the department of Neurology at Henry Ford Health System; Adjunct Associate Professor at Oakland University; Scientific Consultant at NeurExo Sciences (all MI, USA)
Dr Buller is an Associate Scientist in the Department of Neurology at Henry Ford Health System in Detroit and he serves as an Adjunct Associate Professor at Oakland University and as a consultant at NeurExo Sciences, developing therapeutics using exosomes. He also served as Chief Scientific Officer at Forever Labs (MI, USA). Dr Buller has been pivotal in demonstrating the role of exosomes in the delivery of microRNAs to treat stroke and traumatic brain injury. In this webinar, he will discuss his investigation into the use of MSC exosomes to treat acute respiratory distress syndrome in COVID-19 patients.
