Scientists Use Acid to Turn Blood Cells into Stem Cells in 30 MinutesGizmodoThis is a game changer, folks. Whereas mining stem cells has been either an ethical quandary or a months-long affair, scientist can now turn any old blood cells into stem cells in just 30 minutes—by dipping them in acid. That’s right. Take blood … Continue reading
Breakthrough: Scientists create embryonic stem cells without embryosMedical News TodayResearchers from Brigham and Women’s Hospital, in collaboration with researchers from Japan, have discovered a way of changing adult stem cells back to their original embryonic state by exposing them to low oxygen and acidic environments. This is … …read more &nbs… Continue reading
Scientists “perplexed’ over “shocking’ stem cell discoveryBoston.com (blog)To transform mature cells into powerful stem cells that are a biological blank slate, the team simply bathed them in an acid bath for half an hour. The technique appears to be far easier and faster than current methods for creating these cells, which … …read more &nbs… Continue reading
The IndependentA new way of creating stem cells that is cheaper, faster and more efficient than before could transform the ability of scientists to develop “personalised medicine” where a patient’s own healthy skin or blood cells can be used to repair damaged tissues … …read more &nbs… Continue reading
New York TimesA surprising study has found that a simple acid bath might turn cells in the body into stem cells that could one day be used for tissue repair and other medical treatments. The technique, performed only with cells from mice, might turn out to be a …Scientists discover a new, simpler way to … Continue reading
Stem cells made quickly in acid in possible game-changing techniqueCBS NewsThis image from the journal Nature shows a mouse embryo formed with specially-treated cells from a newborn mouse that had been transformed into stem cells. If the same technique works for humans, it may provide a new way to grow tissue for treating … …read … Continue reading
