Stem Cells Line

RSS Feeds   Text 
Stem cell lines are grown in incubators with special growth factors and media maintained in an ambient temperature of 37şC in the presence of oxygen/carbon dioxide mixture. Stem cell lines contain a population of cells which can
replicate autonomously for long period of time in vitro. Embryonic stem cell lines, both human and mouse, can be grown indefinitely in vitro if the correct conditions are met. Importantly, these cells continue to retain their ability to form different, specialized cell types once they are removed from the special conditions that keep them in an undifferentiated, or unspecialized, state.

I know that Miami college in Florida has been working on this in animals, so they can do this in humans. They have been doing wonders. Give them a call. It might just change your life. Be persistent about it with them. You could also call up Pen State. Their are some wonderful BME people there. M for Medical that is. They might be able to help. Call Florida first for sure. God bless your journey.

A fertilised egg has totipotency, or total potential for about four days. Days after fertilisation,the totipotent stem cell divides and then matures to cause more specialised stem cells called pluripotent stem cells.Basically, the pluripotent stem cell can do everything the totipotent one can except for creating an entire organism.


so, how can we take totipotent cells frm a human? is tht practically possible? if we could, it wud be great, isn't it?

ESC research only "does not involve cloning" if you redefine 'cloning.' Most people understand that it is making a 'copy' of someone's DNA. To use ESC's therapeutically, they must be 'recognized' by the cells of the end user - the simplest way is to 'clone' his/her DNA. And insert it into an available egg (and where are all these human eggs going to come from? 3rd-world women?)
