Bryan Johnson flew to the Bahamas to get MSC stem cells injected into his knees, hips, and shoulders — for about $16,500 per joint. Plus, even Sampson warns that young donor stem cells should not be seen as a quick fix or a panacea.

Botched stem-cell treatments can cause infection, blindness, and excessive cell growth, which can trigger the formation of tumors.

Shares of Eli Lilly closed more than 9% higher on Thursday. That has forced Eli Lilly and its rival Novo Nordisk to invest heavily to boost manufacturing. "We just see unbelievable demand, and we're not even trying that hard to promote this drug," Eli Lilly CEO David Ricks told CNBC in an interview. Eli Lilly said sales were largely driven by higher demand for Mounjaro and Zepbound as production increases improved supply in the U.S. With a market cap of more than $730 billion, Eli Lilly is the largest pharmaceutical company based in the U.S.

Clots can break off blood vessels and travel to the heart, triggering a heart attack, or to the brain, triggering a stroke. Previous research has linked erythritol to a higher risk of stroke, heart attack and death. Artificially manufactured in massive quantities, erythritol has no lingering aftertaste, doesn’t spike blood sugar and has less of a laxative effect than some other sugar alcohols. That’s especially true for anyone at highest risk for clotting, heart attack and stroke — such as those with existing cardiac disease or diabetes. “Cardiovascular disease builds over time, and heart disease is the leading cause of death globally,” he said.

One of the world's most valuable drug manufacturers by market capitalization reported its second-quarter earnings results Thursday, and they were impressive. Zepbound was approved Nov. 8 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as a treatment for weight management and obesity, according to Eli Lilly. In its first full quarter in the U.S. market, Zepbound brought in $517.4 million in revenue, Eli Lilly reported in April. "We just see unbelievable demand, and we're not even trying that hard to promote this drug," Eli Lilly CEO David Ricks told CNBC during a "Squawk Box" interview Thursday. And drug manufacturers such as Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk, the pharmaceutical company that makes Ozempic and Wegovy, are racing to meet that demand.

Novo Nordisk shocked investors on Wednesday when its latest results fell short of Wall Street's expectations. While Eli Lilly's stock remains up about 32% year to date, concerns about increasing competition in the category have resulted in a nearly 16% decline for Lilly shares over the past month. Eli Lilly is making similar attempts with Zepbound, but its launch is at an earlier stage than Wegovy. Second-quarter sales of Ozempic, Novo's diabetes treatment, rose 4% from the first quarter, while Wegovy revenue grew 24% quarter over quarter. Barclays analyst Emily Field told clients in a research note that she would be a buyer of Novo Nordisk shares on the weakness.

London — Novo Nordisk trimmed its full-year profit outlook Wednesday after reporting weaker-than-expected quarterly sales of its popular weight loss drug Wegovy. Chief Financial Officer Karsten Munk Knudsen in an interview called the market reaction unsurprising, given the market’s sensitivity to Novo’s mega-blockbuster drug Wegovy. Sales of Wegovy, Novo’s first-to-market weight loss drug, rose 53% to 11.66 billion crowns, well below the 13.54 billion crowns expected by analysts, while sales of Ozempic, a diabetes drug with the same active ingredient, also just missed expectations. Operating profit in the quarter rose 8% at constant exchange rates to 25.9 billion Danish crowns ($3.8 billion) compared with the 27.3 billion crowns forecast by analysts in an LSEG poll. All eyes on supplyNevertheless, Novo raised its sales growth outlook for this year to between 22% and 28% in local currencies from 19% to 27% previously.

Stocks had a rough week, topped off with a pummeling Friday after the July jobs data came in weaker than expected. Until then, bad economic news was good news for the stock market, because it meant the Federal Reserve would start cutting interest rates sooner. On Thursday, a drop in U.S. manufacturing activity for July and a jump in initial jobless claims dragged down the market. Next week is light on economic data, so expect earnings reports and CEO commentaries to drive the market action.
