Stem cells coaxed into regenerating bone while leaving tumors out
With successful animal tests already in the bag, the findings could have a big impact on the treatment of bone defects, and for healing traumatic bone injuries.
Pluripotent stem cells are extremely versatile, with the capability of becoming any type of cell found in the body, a process known as differentiation. In 2012, a Johns Hopkins study saw the development of a technique to regress blood cells into pluripotent stem cells, and over the years we've seen them used to create functional intestinal tissue, grow human retinas, and much more.
Despite past successes in utilizing the versatile stem cells, coaxing them to develop into a particular type of cell is anything but simple. The UC San Diego team describes the process as being akin to following a very complex recipe, with a long list of ingredients and a complex set of steps.
