Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Stem cell 'major
discovery' claimed.
What are stem
cells? They can become any other type of cells to play a specific fixed role
such as nerve cells or muscle cells. In other words, they can regenerate
alternative part of body.
A Japanese
scientist has discovered a new way, called STAP (stimulus-triggered acquisition
of pluripotency) cells, to create stem cells simply by dipping blood cells into
acid. If this revolutionary finding is put into practice, of course after further
research and experiments, it could explore potential to start a new age of
personalized medicine in a much faster and therefore more affordable way.
Will this finding
be awarded another Nobel Prize like iPS by Dr. Yamanaka?
Enjoy reading and
learning about this revolutionary discovery by a 30-year-old enthusiastic
researcher.
