From Transplant to Trailblazer: Mark Durante’s Exosome Breakthrough in Regenerative Medicine

Nine years ago, Mark Durante received a heart transplant that saved his life—but it was just the beginning of his healing journey. When post-transplant neuropathy nearly disabled him, he turned to a friend in stem cell research. What happened next changed everything. This episode dives deep into how exosomes work, what makes 3D manufacturing a breakthrough, and why regenerative medicine isn’t just for the rich and famous anymore. We compare exosomes to stem cells, explore cost and accessibility, and look at the growing global research. Whether you're a practitioner or just health-curious, this conversation might change the way you think about aging, healing, and what’s possible for the human body.
