Australian scientists, inspired by the way salamanders are able to replace lost limbs, they found out how to convert human fat cells into stem cells, which can potentially regenerate any damaged tissue in the body!
THE METHOD!
First of all the fat cells collected from the body. Then they are converted into adult stem cells (they are undifferentiated cells, found throughout the body after development, that multiply by cell division) help of growth factors (they are substances, such as hormones or proteins, which are required for the stimulation of growth in living cells).
The adult stem cells are then induced to become pluripotent stem cells, which can give rise to any type of cell in the body!
These cells can then be used to repair any type of tissue in the body, including injured hearts and damaged spinal cords. They can also be used to repair joint and muscle degeneration.
Researchers hope to begin human trials this year!
It's a revolutionary method!
Thank you for reading!
It was a small article for today!
I hope that you like it!
I am waiting for your comments!

We are happy to hear the steps forward in health technology. Therefore it Will increase technical treatment in treating deaseas nowdays to the patient.
I think this steps forward is too fast known to public via IT, Sosial Madial, and also this Block Chain, meanwhile, in 2000 era, the scientist of Malaysia found medical treatment without chemical Medicine, known Melacular Reform Therapy ( MRT), was unknown largely because of the limited of IT.
Thank you for your comment! There are many molecular methods some in the clinical use and more at the stage of research! This post is more about cell therapy...
i see. thanks
stem cells do offer genuinely revolutionary therapies which are minimally invasive and may help treat many incurable diseases. I just hope these re-programmed cells don't go rogue ! sci-fi style
You are absolutely right! I believe stem cells are the 'future'! Also when someone has leukemia or lymphoma and trying to find a donor, he actually has to find donor for stem cells! I like your comment!
