Mission

Why this library exists

A neutral, evidence-first reference for a field where patients and clinicians often cannot tell marketing from medicine.

The SCE Educational Library is a long-form educational project by Mack Lee Sullivan, MD, MS. It covers the biology, evidence, regulation, and clinical realities of stem-cell, extracellular-vesicle, and related regenerative-medicine therapies across 18 structured categories and 175 individual topics.

Every topic is published in two coordinated editions. The Professional edition is mechanistic, clinically precise, and explicit about uncertainty. The Patient edition translates the same scientific posture into plain language without softening the evidence boundaries.

What this library is

  • A Structured Educational Evidence Review prepared under a controlling Master Prompt that specifies scope, sources, style, figures, and approval gates.
  • A reference you can hand to a patient, a resident, or a colleague without worrying that it has been shaped by a product's marketing goals.
  • A living document. Each topic carries its own most recent literature review date, and major revisions are versioned.

What this library is not

  • It is not a treatment recommendation. Nothing on these pages tells you to seek, avoid, or purchase a specific product or procedure.
  • It does not publish patient testimonials, outcome statistics, or clinic advertising. Those have no place in a scientific reference.
  • It is not a substitute for individualised medical advice. Clinical decisions require your clinician and your context, not a web article.

Editorial commitments

  1. Evidence saturation. Topics are written until the available high-quality evidence has been fairly represented, not to a target word count.
  2. Source-by-source verification. Each claim is matched to its citation before approval; references are preserved as formal appendices.
  3. Representation safeguards. Educational figures are visually distinct from any identifiable authorship materials; no clinician or patient likeness is used to imply endorsement.
  4. Explicit approval. No topic is published without Dr. Mack's explicit per-topic approval. Pending topics are not indexed, not shared, and not visible to the public.

How to use it

Start from the Master Table of Contents. Hover (or tap) a category to see its topics, hover a topic to see its controlling points, and open the topic page to choose between the Professional and Patient editions. The library glossary consolidates every controlled term across all topics with per-topic back-references.
