Episode Summary
Andrew Hillman's 2026 paper on the line between Section 361 tissue products and Section 351(a) biologics, and why he argues Wharton's jelly exosomes belong on the 351(a) path. We cover the four criteria in 21 CFR 1271.10(a), the FDA's 2019 safety notification, the federal RMAT and Right to Try frameworks and their limits, and what manufacturing controls look like. Exosome products are not approved by the FDA for any indication. Hosted by Andrew Jonathan Hillman, Dallas, Texas.
