Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSC) can differentiate into various types of cells, then multiply to rebuild tissue. Embryonic cord stem cells have been used to regenerate blood cells, but dental stem cells can create many other types of tissues, such as connective, muscular, bone, dental, and even neuronal. Recently, DentalBlogs posted an article regarding the successful implantation of stem cells that resulted in a mouse growing a new tooth. According to a Nova Southeastern University survey, 96% of dentists predict that stem cell regeneration will “dominate the future of dentistry.” More than half of surveyed dentists believe that they will ... dental blog for dentists about dentistry blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2820455 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 15:24:22 +0100 2820455 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2131706&cid=t_291839_87_f&fid=36224&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.wsjonline.com%2F%7Er%2Fwsj%2Fhealth%2Ffeed%2F%7E3%2FQtvji204_Nk%2F Human embryonic stem cells — the source of much scientific hope, ethical debate and political controversy — are finally going to be tested in people. Geron, a biotech shop created around stem cells, said today that it got the go-ahead from FDA to launch a small trial in patients with spinal cord injuries. Barack Obama has pledged to undo restrictions President Bush put on federal funding for stem cell research, but those restrictions didn’t affect Geron’s research. Both the FDA and the company said the timing of the FDA approval was coincidental, the WSJ reports today. Embryonic stem cells can turn into any type of cell in the body. In this trial, researchers will inject a stem cell-based therapy directly into the spinal cords of patients who have recently suffer...

What has not been reported is that ther is an almost 10 year history of unreagulated human experimentation in this arena which led to a rare federal ban on specific fertility treatments. Is this hope, hype or dangerous human experimentation? Read on to see! Background- what are mitochondria? Mitochondria are tiny primite organisms that millions of yers ago became incorporated into human cells. They exisit in every cell but have their own unique genetic material. They function as the engines of the cell providing energy for metabolism. I wrote an review of how they got there and what they do that you can read here. In short mitochondria have their own DNA (similar to th... docinthemachine blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1276009 Tue, 04 Mar 2008 01:29:30 +0100 1276009
