Recent developments from Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have released findings that show positive results in reprogramming skin cells of mice that may be able to improve symptoms of rats and mice afflicted with Parkinson's disease. They have announced that reprogrammed skin cells may translate into functioning neurons in the brain. Harvard and MIT researchers believe that the use of such reprogrammed cells will help to alleviate the moral and ethical prohibitions that have affected stem cell research for over a decade.

Research published at the University at Buffalo has suggested that hair follicles may be a potential source of new skin tissues for the engineering of blood vessels for bypass surgery. Stelios T. Andreadis, Ph.D., co-authored a report in Cardiovascular Research that says, "Regenerating new skin tissue using stem cells obtained from the most accessible source -- hair follicles -- is a real possibility." |

While scientists and researchers are just beginning to understand the capabilities of skin cells to create stem cells, recent developments at the Harvard Medical School have discovered a technique that researcher Dr. Willie Lensch says has, "incredible potential." This is because those scientists have succeeded in procuring skin cells from patients suffering from a variety of diseases and turned them all into stem cells. |

Recent developments by researchers at the University of California, San Diego, the Mayo Clinic, a San Diego pharmaceutical company and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute has led to the human clinical trials of a promising drug that may fight a rare blood disease called myeloproliferative disorders (MCD), which can develop into leukemia. Today, the degenerative blood disorder blights the lives of more than 100,000 Americans alone. |

Recent developments by researchers from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Yale University, the Saitama Medical School in Japan, and Saneron CCEL Therapeutics have determined that umbilical cord blood from humans may help to alleviate pathological changes associated with Alzheimer's disease. Scientists and researchers have determined that disrupting interactions between certain blood cells helps to reduce various deposits that promote change in function and cognitive ability in mice. |

Sure, many people realize that our skin protects our bodies, repels bacteria, and enables us to sweat and maintain adequate body temperature, and of course 'holds everything together'. However, many people still don't quite understand that skin cells contain four basic genes that are necessary to reprogram a specific human cell to carry the essential characteristics of an embryonic stem cell. What does this mean? |
