Finding the source of primitive stem cells.
There are news reports about the positive impact that research on cord blood stem cells have the possibility of treatment for various life threatening diseases. But with so many various reports about it or even factions it is impossible to track all the useful facts. Stem cells show a great level of plasticity which means they can generate and regenerate into many types of cells and organs even in our bodies. Potentially, if they can be removed from the donor and transfused into the patient then in the future, stem cells could be used to treat almost all diseases.
The stem cells are more commonly found in babies or even in embryos although it has been found that adult stem cells exist. Until now most have been found in the brain but spread freely among millions of other cells that make extraction extremely difficult.
Cord blood stem cells, on the other hand, it is easy to remove. Because the process is completed after the child is born and the umbilical cord cut and shut there was no effect whatsoever on infants, the elderly or the birth itself.
How stem cells become T cells
T cells are the cells responsible for fighting infections in children and is created when stem cells pass through the thymus gland. If the patient does not have a sufficient number of stem cells are effective in their blood then they will not be able to create a T-cell and then they are much more likely to suffer from serious infections. This, in turn, means that the stem cells of umbilical cord blood can be used to create T cells and other cells that are important in your child's body. The stem cells would then be creating an army of T cells to fight infection and leave the body to function normally. As with blood transfusion is critical to the successful operation of transfused stem cells are the same type as the patient's own blood. Using cord blood stem cells belong to the patient themselves all but guarantees that this will be the case.
Stem cell testing.
The umbilical cord matrix stem cells called Wharton's jelly and is rich in primitive stem cells. These cells are the one who has not progressed, modify or produce other cells. Primitive stem cells are the most effective type of stem cells that can be used in a transfusion on any patient.
Usually a lot of testing has been done on animals to prove the viability of using stem cells taken from umbilical cord blood of newborns and among the most prominent of these tests, according to the online journal "stem cells", have tests done in pigs. In human blood cord similar to a pig umbilical cord, two arteries and veins are found and tests have shown positive results with regard to storage and the potential of blood. Journal "stem cells" contain a lot of data related to stem cells and articles on various topics related.
At present leukemia and anemia are the two most common diseases treated with stem cell transfusions although since stem cell research has grown in volume and results diseases such as Parkinson's, Multiple Sclerosis, and various forms of cancer also showed positive results.
