s rats human stem cells enveloped
damaged nerve cells in rats nutrient content, helping them to survive. This
discovery made a group of scientists from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.
In an article published by the journal Neuroscience, researchers reported that their results
shed new light on the potential of stem cells. Many
Researchers say the cells and incorporated into their ability to be in
ultimately to fundamentally change medicine, bringing it cures
diseases that are not yet able to fight.
After injection the rats clearly enjoyed the hind legs are better than rats from
control group, who were also paralyzed, but did not receive
corresponding injection.
When nerve cells die, they give signals that are not in clear yet
reasons, are often forced to die as the neighboring, perfectly healthy cells.
"Wave" dying cells leads to brain damage, for example, as a result of
impact.
Embryonic stem cells produce two proteins that are believed to
protect the health of nerve cells in rats of a asnning body of
cell death. It was this discovery made the group of Kerr.
These proteins are known as transforming growth factor alpha, or TGF-alpha,
that helps nerve cells survive, and the brain receives a neurotrophic
pulse, which enhances the relationship of these cells to other neurons.
Not for nothing on the turn of the century the authoritative journal Science, summarizing the development
biological science in the XX century, in third place after the opening of the double helix
DNA and the human genome has put the opening in the human body
kind of "repair material at all times" - progenitor cells
or stem cells. But they have not disclosed until the end of its capacity ...
