What is Stem Cell Research Technology?
Stem cell research technology focuses on understanding and utilizing specialized cells—stem cells—that have the remarkable ability to divide indefinitely and differentiate into various cell types. This field explores how these "master cells" can be harnessed to repair, regenerate, or replace damaged tissues and organs in the body. The goal is to develop therapies for numerous diseases and conditions, moving beyond simply treating symptoms to addressing the root cause of illness. This includes research into various types of stem cells, such as adult stem cells (like those found in hair follicles), which hold immense promise for personalized medicine.
At the expo, you'll have the incredible opportunity to hear directly from Dr. Drew Taylor, the visionary co-founder and CEO of Acorn Biolabs. He will be sharing insights into the future of regenerative medicine and how Acorn Biolabs is making it a reality.

How to access your own stem cells?
Access Your Best Cells
A trained technician plucks 50 follicles from the sides and back of the head. This provides a collection of your own valuable cells required for preservation.
Analysis and Cryopreservation
After a full viability analysis, your cells are carefully cryogenically frozen at -196° Celsius, completely stopping the effects of aging and ongoing damage.
Cell-Derived Treatments
Using a small sample of your cells, you’re able to produce personalized stem cell-based topical treatments, rich in exosomes, growth factors and matrix molecules.
Long-Term Resource
Your frozen cells will remain perfectly preserved and accessible for the bright future of regenerative medicine applications as they continue to emerge.
