how do i teach anmiotic stem cells to become what cell i want them to?

Question

it seems like since amniotic cells are, for all intents and purposes, undefined. some small natural stimulation could be used to give it direction - that is, could growing naturally into the desired cell for whom the stimulus was designed. teaching the cells from their "undefined" point would then be key. bodily chemicals, neurotransmitters

Answer 1

Amniotic epithelial cells do not become the desired cell type until they are introduced to "defined" cells in culture or organism. They can be "directed" the same as other stem cells in culture, but not without "defined" cells to "teach" them.

And do not confuse Jon C's remarks on this. Jon C's remarks are in regard to "embryonic stem cells", which are not the same as "amniotic stem cells". Amniotic stem cells are not at the center of controversy over aborted fetuses like embryonic stem cells are. Amniotic stem cells are also not as likely to result in tumors as embryonic stem cells are.

Anyone seeking further enlightment might also look into "adult stem cell" research.

Answer 2

you are pretty much right, the cells are usually placed in a simialr physical and chemical environment as the cells they want the stem cells to turn into to. however, the process is very difficult and does not work 100% of the time. Often the cells die or do not end up exactly the way you want.

edit-
This is very typical of a lot of biological research. The ideas seem so simple on paper but become nearly impossible in practice, if you are really interested, study biology at a university and maybe one day you can be the one who solves it.

Answer 3

The stem cells are incredibly picky about how they want to be maintained. Just keeping them alive would be hard, but getting them to differentiate into the type of cell you want would be even harder. The way that it is done is not simple, and differs for each individual type of cell. The media that they are grown in needs to have specific characteristics for that individual cell type, such as specific proteins and amino acids, etc. Also, the timing for such chemicals would also be key in getting them to differentiate correctly. If you are looking to do an experiment, I would recommend using a publication website, such as pubmed to search for research documents that have such methods already developed. These would give you a much better idea of what you would need to do in order to have them become what you want. From there, you can develop your own procedure.
By the way... it is expensive to do. I used human cells in my thesis research, and it cost an arm and a leg. Good luck.

Answer 4

It's done through the 8 known carbohydrates for cellular communication. The body does it on it's own.

Here is a movie on the body doing it on it's own with it's own stem cells naturally here:

Synopsis of video, Dr. Reg McDaniel made this presentation on Stem cells before the Colorado State Senate. The presentation focuses on how glyconutrients have been shown to improve cellular communication and by adding this technology to a health regimen, individuals have seen improvement on once thought to be irreversible conditions. This would prompt oneself to question if Embryonic stem cell research is necessary.

Answer 5

Hire a Stem Cell Tutor, of course.

Answer 6

Through reconfiguration of segmented stems therefrom, and the growth that comes from this segment would be my hypothesis as to your question. Attachment and generation from, or the generation from a detached portion itself is what I guess I am trying to say. And also, replication and duplication come to mind, but this does not denote entirely the teaching as you define it, and request answer to, so you may dismiss this notion, unless it somehow factors into something else you may find in the equation of reaching other such goals in this regard.

Answer 7

Send them to amniotic stem cell training camp.

Answer 8

give them a treat when they do something right - like if you tell them to sit - make them sit - then give them a treat - repitition is the key. Good luck I hope they become well trained amniotic cells

Answer 9

May I suggest higher education in the field of biology?

Answer 10

And would help crippled people and people with diseases to be able to live a normal life. It would make everyone equal, i think that is George Bush keeps vetoing the bill to give funding to them. He is afraid that if everyone is equal and no one is suffering then he would not be as important as he tries to make himself feel.
