Follow

Transplanted mesenchymal stem cells, and these can differentiate into

BoneCartilage Sinew Fat

Pluripotent stem cells are very important because:• They can differentiate in any cell of the human body.• They can curate some serious diseases like HVI.

The Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs) are artificially created from:

• A target cell that was not pluripotent

Using a genetic code

The investigators of Toronto university found some proteins that:

• Can control the pluripotency of the cells.

Proteins were found from a:

Splicing code that discovered a few years

ago

The Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs) can help to remedy some problems like:

• The diabetes• The baldness The blindness The deafness• The loss of teeth

Diseases such as:• HIV• Autism

I think the science is advancing very quickly and this is evidenced in this type of discoveries. Is very important to the medicine know the way in which is possible create stem cells because these are the

human body base, therefore are the solution of many problems of the organism, these cells can

reconstruct damage in the organs, the tissues and some common things like lost of hair or lost of

teeth.

Has not yet discovered the full code of the creation of iPSCs but this is becoming much

more likely

Mesenchymal stem cells can differentiate in:• Cartilage• Muscle• Bone• Fat • Sinew

Sometimes the treatment is not successful so: • Is important follow the transplanted stem cells

Their transplant can help in the knee problems of the patients

Their transplant can help in the knee problems of the patients

The new technique is about: Injection of ferumoxytol (iron particles) in:

• Bone marrow cells that are to be transplanted into other part of the body of the donor person that will going to start a treatment with these cells.

The injection will be made:

Directly in the bone marrow and not in a laboratory

Directly in the bone marrow and not in a laboratory

Decreases the risks of contamination of stem cells.

Decreases the loss of stem cells for their extensive manipulation.

Allows that in a single surgery, the stem cells are extracted and implanted.

These cells retain enough iron to give a strong MRI signal to the tracking.

BENEFITS:BENEFITS:BENEFITS:BENEFITS:

I think that the follow of the transplanted stem cells is very

important to avoid complications and damage in the health of the patient and the new technique

makes a dependable transplantation and allows better

tracking of the cells

The new technique of injection of iron supplement allows to make stem cells transplantation in a safe form because:

Avoids the contamination of the used cells and their death.

The new technique of injection of iron supplement allow that in the same surgery:

The doctor can extract the stem cells of the bone marrow of the patient and inmediately, these cells can

be transplant to the part of the body with the problem.

Diabetes, baldness, blindness, deafness and loss of teeth are some problems that solve the induced pluripotent stem cells
