Use hair breeding success of pluripotent stem cells

Keywords: hair pluripotent stem cells in Spain

[/]: Spain scientists for a new approach using hair instead of skin success breed induced pluripotent stem cells, greatly improving the efficiency of the cultivation of cells.

According to the national newspaper "Spain recently reported that nature there are two kinds of stem cells capable of development into various body tissues of embryo cells and exist in each of the organs of mature cells. Last year, scientists have invented a third stem cells: induced pluripotent stem cells. This cell is through the "delay" ordinary skin cells of "biological clock" (reset gene program), it has both types of stem cells in medical applications, but its cultivation process is very difficult and inefficient.

According to reports, Barcelona Centre for regenerative medicine using new methods of scientists with a hair can be induced pluripotent stem cells, the cell culture process efficiency by 100 times, and pluripotent stem cell proliferation and development of diversity and embryonic cells.

In addition, this kind of Multipotent stem cells also have embryonic cells lacking one of the key benefits from a patient's hair breed of induced pluripotent stem cells and gene match. So in the future, scientists can produce energy for the treatment of specific diseases with stem cells.

Currently produce induction of pluripotent stem cells are not really used in the treatment of disease, but also by many viruses, such as research into the gene structure restored to "pluripotent".
