Professor Caplan was not only the discoverer of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC) but also an unparalleled role model for all of us. His tireless vision of utilizing cells for the benefit of patients inspired not only the us but the entire global scientific community.
His unforgettable lectures at ONstage will be remembered as a source of inspiration. Through numerous personal conversations with him, we experienced not only a brilliant scientist but also a compassionate mentor and friend. Professor Caplan displayed remarkable openness to the next generation of scientists and clinicians. With his high intelligence and strong empathy, he became a cherished idol and visionary, extending his influence far beyond the boundaries of his field.
His commitment to orthoregeneration has profoundly shaped our understanding of regenerative medicine. We are deeply grateful to Professor Arnold Caplan for his years of support, tireless efforts, and legacy. In his spirit, we will continue to wholeheartedly work towards realizing his visionary ideals and contribute to the continuation of his legacy.
