Andrew Hillman's 2026 manuscript on why Wharton's jelly stem cell exosomes require BLA licensure under Section 351(a), and what that classification means for manufacturing. We cover the four-criteria test, cGMP and ISO and ICH quality systems, Type I glass, the minus 80 degree cold chain, and the labeling problems the paper sees in grey market products. Exosome products are not approved by the FDA for any indication. Hosted by Andrew Jonathan Hillman, Dallas, Texas.

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.

Andrew Hillman's 2026 structured review of published studies on stem cell exosomes and extracellular vesicles across the spine, brain injury, lung disease, knee osteoarthritis and other areas.
