The Fountain of Youth : Stem Cell Treatment Repairs Any Tissue In The Body

The research on repairing any damaged tissue by redirecting adult bone or fat cells into producing stem cells. This produce of stem cells will generate and reconstruct the damage ones.

From a published research in the "Proceedings of the National Academy of Science Journal led by UNSW, Australia, the study is inspired by Salamanders. They have the ability to spawn parts of their bodies. When a tail or a limb is severed from the salamander, it has the capability to grow it back naturally. The reason is due to the multiple cells that it can generate for stem cells to grow the torn limb or tail.

Scientists used to harvest embryonic stem cells. The reaping of these cells from the embryo and infused back to the donor resulted to tumor forming properties. It was not a satisfactory workout since the procedure is too risky when planted on humans, it is no longer used for stem cell treatment in repairing damaged tissues, said, one of the researchers, Vashe Chandrakanthan.

Scientists had formulated compounds to address issues that will further capacitate their stem cells to produce and function stem cell treatment. The new type of stem cells were produced by treating them with 5-Azacytidine (AZA) and a byproduct platelet that is called AB (PDGF-AB) for two days. The process produced omnipotent stem cells. The resultant stem cells are now efficient and can heal all damaged tissues in the body, quoted from an article of the Stem Cell Institute, according to a report stated from sciencealert.com.

The supply of stem cells is abundant when extracted from a person's fat cells. These fat cells are then processed to be reverted to stem cells. It is safer to have it extracted from the owner and then treated to the same patient. The reason for these is to have compatible parameters and safer without complications.

There are some commercial claims of stem cell treatment that is rampant today. Others are using this scientific raw result for profit, even doing it in multilevel marketing. Scientists claim the concrete results for stem cell treatment will be ready for human trial on 2017.
