Greg and Matias interview Brendon Boot of Skin2Neuron. Brendon is a neurologist at Harvard and Mayo Clinic with prior experience as Medical Director at Biogen overseeing their Phase 1b Alzheimer’s trials.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • How skin-derived cells can be turned into neurons to repair the brain.
  • Why replacing lost neurons may succeed where drugs have failed in Alzheimer’s.
  • What makes autologous (self-derived) cell therapy safer and more effective.
  • How testing in dogs brought stronger proof than traditional mouse models.
  • Why this approach could shift Alzheimer’s treatment from slowing decline to restoring memory.
