THE SKIN CELLS CAN BE MODIFIET TO BLOOD

Later in the future every patient who needs blood for surgery or cancer treatment can get as easy as attaching a piece of skin taken from his own body.
The team of scientists from Canada has made ?a major breakthrough in finding a way to change human skin directly into the bloodstream . In the results of research published in the journal Nature , noted that the discovery not only helps patients in critical condition to undergo surgery or cancer treatment , but patients with anemia.
This new method is considered more promising than modification techniques blood from embryonic stem cells. So far , the results of research on stem cells have not been encouraging as a number of failures to konverting stem cells ( stem cells) into mature cells for transplantation.
Unlike research conducted by a team of Kandana . According to Cynthia Dunbar, molecular experts from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, United States , the results of this research could change the paradigm of science in the creation of blood cells.
To avoid ethics regarding the use of embryonic stem cells, previous researchers have tried to use the new stem cells and adult human skin to blood. Unfortunately, these adult stem cells are limited. Besides that embryonic cells can be grafted in adult patients .
Scientists from Canada to overcome all these obstacles in seeking growth factor ( nuclei that regulate cell division and sustainability ) directly reprogram skin cells into blood cells .
This is not only cut the stem cell stage , but at the same time the creation of blood cells which can be used for adult patients.
Avoid the stage of stem cells also means that scientists can use large amounts of blood cells , because they no longer need to do the conversion is not effective stage of stem cells in other formations.
"We are currently considered to develop other types of cells derived from human skin cells ," said Mick Bhatia, principal investigator of the Director of Stem Cell and Cancer Research Institute , Canada. The plan, clinical study will begin early next year.
