using cells from unborn fetuses to implant into humans so the cells can grow into and replace tissues that are either harmful or damaged to the person afflicted. The cells are basically blank slates, that can be turned into specialized cells, such as bone tissue, or brain tissue, etc...with the right mix of chemicals. These new cells are then transplanted into the person, and hopefully with a bit of luck, and some drugs, the person's body accepts the new cells and uses them to do the work of the cells that were damaged and now inoperable.

that's my information that they might use the twine stem cells comparable to they might the fetal stem cells.however the are consistently changing issues my youngest son replaced into dx with a strategies stem tumor whilst he replaced into 3 years old and that i learn some in this very ingredient at that element they might use ether the twine or the fetal cells yet the place his tumor replaced into it replaced into no longer a possibility to have any of those learn methods contained in the reading that I had achieved attempting to locate a scientific look after my son the only distinction i ought to locate in what they have been doing with the fetal cells that replaced into less complicated to do than with the twine cells replaced into cloning the cells

stem cells can be taken from the cord at delivery of from an aborted fetus, the belief is these new cells can be transplanted in cases like giving new cells to someone who cells had to be radiated for cancer and such and for research

so they get the cells from fertilization centers (meaning that they'r not really "meant for life") n they let them develop for a few days until the cells divide into about 5 cells....at this point, they'r undifferentiated... so they take those cells (called a blastocyst) n they put them into cultures where they can make them specialize by adding hormones n stuff...

Did my masters thesis on stem cell years ago. What do you need to know? You'll need to contact me.
