The company uses a variety of cells in its clinical research including embryonic stem cells and HEK or 293T cells, which were derived long ago from human embryonic kidney (see image of 293 cells above). They are rightly focused on helping sick patients. Here’s Regeneron’s description of its stem cell-related research and philosophy. So what’s the deal with Regeneron and embryonic and fetal cell research? It was just last week I was speculating on whether Trump might directly receive an unproven adult stem cell therapy since many in his orbit are fans of unproven adult stem cells, but using embryonic or fetal materials has a different political charge to it. Trump uses therapy developed by Regeneron using stem cells, but tells people to vote “pro life”. Note that while it’s hard to be sure yet if the Regeneron antibody cocktail helped Trump start getting over COVID-19, especially given that he is taking a slew of different stuff, I’d bet it did help at least somewhat. Trump’s collision with stem cellsįor example, people are directly confronting Trump on Twitter over his recent all caps tweet about voting pro-life (see below) despite using the Regeneron experimental therapy for his COVID-19, which again used cells that the GOP opposes. ![]() The Internet is kind of blowing up over this. ![]() Are Trump and the Republican Party showing major hypocrisy over Trump’s use of experimental COVID-19 therapies in part developed by Regeneron using embryonic and fetal cells?
