But in the Times newspaper interview, Futian Masayuki urged the scientific community: "don't stop the use of human embryos for stem cell research, because if you stop study, patients would die. "Despite his research may change the status of stem cell research, Fukuda has repeatedly stressed that now, the stem cells for medical research, remains crucial.
Fukuda is the breakthrough achieved by simply, experimental mouse skin cells, through genetic manipulation to make it back to the embryonic State. This technique is regarded as equivalent to "will lead into gold." If this study as he desired, then the use of human embryonic stem cells for Research Institute of ethical issues will be solved.
Experts believe that stem cell research for diabetes, Parkinson's and other difficult disease to find treatment method, but by artificially induced way adult cells back to stem cell State for organ transplant opened a new road. If the skin cells can be converted into stem cells, these stem cells can develop into any other form of organization, such as nerve, heart and other organs, such as organ transplantation and also avoids the issue of exclusion.
Fukuda is Professor of his use of human embryos for stem cell source strongly opposed, but he firmly believes that the interests of the patient should be placed in the first place. He said: "it is difficult to predict how the development of science, but I think we in the 6 months to 1 year, through induction, the adult cells into stem cells. From 2 to 3 years, we have created stem cells may have derived from embryonic stem cells in the comparable, it is difficult to distinguish from each other. We cannot let people on the technology of optimistic dragging the hind leg of stem cell research, thereby hindering our embryonic stem cell research. "Because the stem cells can be nurtured into different types of tissue or organ, therefore it is considered a" building elements of life. " Those from embryos in stem cells most "versatile".
Fukuda is Professor of explained that in his production of "ethical stem cells" for humans, it is first necessary to resolve this security issue. Although the work of Prof. Yamanaka was opposed to the use of human embryos for stem cell research are welcome, but he said that their objection should not be carried out this study. He believes that his experiment illustrates many of the problems. And he sees modern abroad, there is a good source of funding compared to the laboratory, his laboratory at the University of a run-down building, floor 2, room of narrow crowded. He said that those who think that Japan is a high-tech paradise person will certainly surprised about this.
He wants his work to promote Japan's early again becomes the genetic processes top-level players. He also pointed polemic a timid and "stupid" Japan government bureaucracy and complex restrictions under the weight of the mountains, Japan's stem cell research almost vanished have been reduced. Now the United Kingdom, United States and Japan, and Korea surpassed. He said there is no need for costly licensing or burdensome regulations, creating a Japan researchers use of "ethical stem cells" will bring to Japan.
