The work represents a path forward by demonstrating the ability to reliably expand
adult stem cells from umbilical cord blood in the laboratory without terminally differentiating the cells into more mature and relatively short-lived blood cells.
The studies discussed in this article demonstrate that many commonly-used nutraceuticals may in fact produce their age-decelerating, organ-protecting, and life-extending effects at least in part by protecting
adult stem cells.
The researchers use some indicators in the cell lines to investigate whether expanded
adult stem cells have a long enough life span for future division in vivo or not.
The road to recovery began on the Internet, where he discovered that scientists were utilizing
adult stem cells to treat heart failure, and that this promising approach was under way close to his Florida home.
(New York, NY), which is pioneering the pre-disease collection, processing and long-term storage of
adult stem cells for future medical need, has filed a patent application claiming the proprietary stem cell technology of Vincent C.
Heart damage: Several clinical trials targeting heart disease have shown that
adult stem cell therapy is safe.
It's not clear reading articles reporting on stem cell research that there are two types of this research, one which we regard as unethical because it is upon human embryos and leads to their deaths, and the other
adult stem cell research which is entirely ethical and cells derived from - for instance - a newly born baby's umbilical cord and the placenta.
The resulting restrictive statutory provisions that ban SCNT ultimately arose from a convergence of rhetoric on dignity and the moral status of the embryo, and the resultant promotion of
adult stem cell research.
ReNeuron is a leading, UK-based
adult stem cell therapy business.
An
adult stem cell is an undifferentiated cell that is found in specialized tissue and has the capacity to produce the specialized cell types from the tissue of origin.
One day it may be possible to take any
adult stem cell back to the embryonic, and hence protean, stage.
Then, Schroeder says, an
adult stem cell transplant gave her a new lease on life.
