    Healing from Within: How PolarityBio is Rewriting the Rules of Wound Care

    Dr. Ned Swanson, President & Chief Medical Officer and Dr. Nikolai Sopko, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Scientific Officer & Director, at PolarityBio, a late-stage biotechnology company developing regenerative multicellular biologics, specifically their lead autologous cutaneous cell therapy designed to treat complex chronic wounds joins eHealth Radio and the Health News Channel. Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guests Dr. Ned Swanson & Dr. Nikolai Sopko discuss the following: To begin, both of you bring strong clinical and scientific expertise to executive leadership. How have your respective backgrounds as medical doctors and researchers uniquely shaped your roles in driving PolarityBio through its late-stage clinical milestones? PolarityBio has just reached a major corporate milestone with the submission of a Biologics License Application (BLA) for SkinTE. From a leadership perspective, what were the most significant operational and clinical hurdles your team had to overcome to prepare this asset for FDA review? The company is fundamentally focused on regenerative multicellular biologics. How did the initial vision for this technology form, and how has it evolved under your joint leadership?

 SkinTE is described as a first-in-class, autologous cutaneous multicellular therapy. In plain terms, how does using a patient’s own healthy skin biology differ from traditional advanced wound care therapies already on the market? Chronic wounds like diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are notoriously complex and resistant to healing. What is the proposed biological mechanism of SkinTE? Because SkinTE utilizes autologous multicellular units, it relies entirely on the patient's own tissue. What are the potential advantages of this autologous approach? Your trial completed enrollment of 120 patients across multiple U.S. sites in just 14 months, significantly outpacing historical timelines for DFU trials. To what do you attribute this exceptionally fast clinical enrollment?

 SkinTE has received both Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) and Breakthrough Therapy designations from the FDA. How have these programs facilitated your interactions with the agency leading up to this BLA submission? Looking beyond Wagner Grade 1 diabetic foot ulcers, what does your development pipeline look like for other complex chronic wound indications, such as venous leg ulcers and pressure injuries?

 SkinTE will be the first new biologic commercially available for a common chronic wound indication in nearly 30 years, if approved. As you look toward the conclusion of this FDA review process, what will this milestone mean for the millions of patients currently facing the threat of severe morbidity and amputation, and what is your ultimate vision for how PolarityBio can potentially reshape wound medicine? Ned Swanson, MD is the President & Chief Medical Officer of PolarityBio with a background in surgical innovation and biomedical engineering. He previously served as Co-Founder & Chief Medical Officer of PolarityTE from 2016 to 2021. Dr. Swanson received his MD from Harvard Medical School and trained in Plastic Surgery at Johns Hopkins. His foundational expertise is rooted in Bioengineering from the University of Pennsylvania. Nikolai Sopko, MD, PhD is a Director, Chief Operating Officer, and Chief Scientific Officer of PolarityBio with a background in regenerative medicine. He previously served as Chief Scientific Officer and Vice President of Research & Development at PolarityTE. Dr. Sopko received his MD with honors from Case Western Reserve University and his PhD in Stem Cell Biology from the Cleveland Clinic through the National Institutes of Health Medical Scientist Training Program. He is a Board Certified Urologic Surgeon and completed his training as a Physician Scientist Scholar at Johns Hopkins.

    Snuggle Shield: A Nurse & Mom’s Guide to Protecting Babies in Public

    Nicole Noar, RN, IBCLC, the Founder and CEO of Snuggle Shield, an award-winning baby brand created to help families protect infants while traveling and navigating everyday public life joins eHealth Radio and the Infant Health and Health News Channels. Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Nicole Noar discuss the following:: You’re a registered nurse, IBCLC, inventor, and mom. What inspired you to create Snuggle Shield, and what problem were you trying to solve for families? Babies are too young to wear masks. What are some practical, evidence-based ways parents can help reduce their baby’s exposure to everyday airborne particles and environmental irritants while traveling and in public? What are some of the biggest misconceptions parents have about taking newborns and young infants out in public, and what advice do you give to help them feel more confident? As a maternal-child health nurse and lactation consultant, what are your top recommendations for helping keep babies healthy during everyday outings, doctor visits, shopping trips, airports, and family travel? What has the response been from parents and healthcare professionals since launching Snuggle Shield, and what do you hope families take away from your mission? SUMMARY: As both a nurse and a mom, I’ve learned that protecting our babies isn’t about living in fear—it’s about making informed, practical choices. Simple habits like washing hands, avoiding close contact with people who are sick, staying current with your pediatrician’s recommendations, breastfeeding when possible, and using thoughtful protective tools during higher-risk situations can all help reduce unnecessary exposure while allowing families to confidently enjoy life together. My hope is that parents feel empowered with knowledge, trust their instincts, and remember that small, intentional steps can make a meaningful difference. Nicole Noar, RN, IBCLC, is a registered nurse with more than 16 years of nursing experience in maternal health, certified in inpatient obstetrics, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, entrepreneur, patented inventor, and the Founder & CEO of Snuggle Shield. After becoming a mother herself, Nicole recognized an unmet need for helping protect babies who are too young to wear masks while in public settings. Combining her professional healthcare experience with her firsthand perspective as a mom, she invented Snuggle Shield to help families reduce exposure to everyday airborne particles, allergens, and environmental irritants while maintaining comfort, breathability, and visibility. Today, Snuggle Shield has earned multiple national awards, including Parent Tested Parent Approved (PTPA), NAPPA Awards, and Baby Innovation Awards, and has been featured by major media outlets including FOX 5 San Diego, KTLA, LA Living, LA Parent Magazine and Baby Maternity Magazine. Nicole is passionate about educating parents on infant wellness, breastfeeding, safe travel, and practical ways to help protect babies without sacrificing life’s special moments. Her mission is to empower families with evidence-informed education and innovative products that help parents travel with greater confidence and peace of mind.

Sinclair, the creator of Emotional Posture®, a pioneering methodology for cultivating elevated emotional states that restore nervous system balance, expand consciousness, and build sustainable inner alignment joins eHealth Radio and the Health News and Emotional Health Channels. Her new book is Emotional Posture: Six Energetic States to Create and Sustain Inner Alignment.  Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Dr. Colette D. Sinclair discuss the following: You've spent over two decades developing the Emotional Posture® framework. What made you realize that emotions aren't just feelings, but measurable biological organizing fields? Most people think of gratitude, forgiveness, or compassion as nice ideas, almost soft skills. How does your clinical and neuropsychological training completely change that understanding? In your book, you identify six specific Emotional Postures: Gratitude, Acceptance, Ease, Forgiveness, Compassion, and Love. Why these six, and what's the science behind why they organize the nervous system differently than other emotional states? You've worked with high-achieving executives, leaders, and women navigating extraordinary pressure. What patterns do you see in the Emotional Postures of people who sustain success, versus those who burn out despite talent and intelligence?  Dr. Colette D. Sinclair has practiced for twenty years at the intersection of neuroscience, psychology, and contemplative science. She is the creator of Emotional Posture®, a pioneering methodology for cultivating elevated emotional states that restore nervous system balance, expand consciousness, and build sustainable inner alignment.

Stephanie has spent more than five decades helping people improve their fitness, health, and longevity through practical, proactive lifestyle choices. Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Stephanie Shorr discuss the following: Your book encourages people to take a more proactive, preventative approach to their health. What first led you to start thinking about healthspan instead of just treating problems after they appear?
 You talk about being more “conscientious” about health choices. What does that look like in everyday life for someone who wants to start paying closer attention to their body?
 Gut health is a major theme in the book. Why do you believe the microbiome is such a foundational place for people to begin improving their overall health? You emphasize that nutrition is important, but movement is equally essential. What are some realistic ways people can incorporate exercise into their day, especially if they feel too busy to work out?
 If someone listening wants to start improving their health today, what are a few small changes you believe can make the biggest difference over time? TIP: One of the simplest ways to begin improving your health is to start paying closer attention to how your body responds to your daily choices. Notice how you feel after certain foods, how much energy you have after moving your body, how your sleep affects your mood, and whether your habits are supporting or draining you. You do not have to overhaul your entire life overnight. Start with one small, repeatable change, such as adding more whole foods, taking a short walk after meals, drinking more water, or stretching for a few minutes each day. Small steps, practiced consistently, can create meaningful changes in your health over time. Body advocate, fitness program director, and artist Stephanie Shorr mentors those seeking optimal health and longevity. For more than five decades, she has passionately helped people increase their fitness. Stephanie believes everyone can improve their health and engage in healthy lifestyles to help prevent degenerative diseases, premature aging, and loss of functionality. A gym owner for twelve years, she holds certifications from the renowned Cooper Institute in Dallas, the National Academy of Sports Medicine, and the University of Miami.

    Navigating Global Regulatory Pathways for Rare Disease Oncology with Paul Romness

    Paul Romness, Chair, Chief Executive Officer & President of OS Therapies, a clinical-stage oncology company and leader in gene-edited, Listeria-based cancer immunotherapies developing targeted treatments for osteosarcoma and other solid tumors joins eHealth Radio and the Cancer Information & Health News Channels. Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Paul Romness discuss the following: To start, you bring a wealth of leadership experience to the table, and you are now guiding OS Therapies through an incredibly pivotal regulatory chapter. Could you share what personally drew you to this mission, and how your background shaped the company's laser-focus on tackling devastating, hard-to-treat solid tumors like osteosarcoma? OS Therapies is described as a leader in gene-edited, Listeria-based cancer immunotherapies. For our audience, how do you harness Listeria bacteria to trigger an immune response against solid tumors? Traditional therapies usually look for just one specific marker to target a cancer cell, but cancers can mutate to hide from them. OST-HER2 goes after three different markers instead. How does this triple-target approach prevent the cancer from escaping, and why is that such a game-changer? Osteosarcoma is a devastating disease that often affects children and young adults. How does OST-HER2 work to prevent or delay the recurrence of these tumors after surgical resection? The company recently reported positive Phase 2b data for OST-HER2 in patients with recurrent, fully resected lung metastatic osteosarcoma. What were the key takeaways regarding event-free and overall survival from that study?

 Looking at your broader pipeline, you are also developing next-generation Tunable Antibody Drug Conjugates (tADCs) using a proprietary silicone linker. How does this complement your immunotherapy platform? If you achieve U.S. approval in 2026, OS Therapies would become eligible for a Priority Review Voucher. How does that voucher factor into your long-term commercialization or capitalization strategy?
 As both CEO and Chairman, navigating three major regulatory bodies (FDA, EMA, MHRA) simultaneously is a massive undertaking. What advice do you have for other biotech leaders attempting to harmonize global regulatory pathways for rare diseases? If everything aligns as you hope with the FDA, EMA, and MHRA, what will this mean for the families and young patients facing osteosarcoma, and what is your ultimate vision for how OS Therapies will reshape the landscape of cancer treatment over the next few years? Paul Romness is the chair, CEO, and President of OS Therapies. He leads the company with over 25 years of experience in the biopharmaceutical industry, having served in multiple functions at Johnson & Johnson, Amgen, and Boehringer Ingelheim. He has been directly involved in the launch of nine major products spanning oncology, surgery, HIV, pulmonary disease, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes, and has been a consistent advocate for addressing unmet medical need and getting treatments to patients.
