Embryo
Embryo cells have attracted a lot of attention since they first became the centre of attention with Stem cell research. Practically all this research to date has been centred around this type of cells. Obviously these lovely children here are no longer fetal having been successfully born. There has been a tremendous amount of money and effort put into this area of scientific medical research, unfortunately working with these cells has not lived up to expectations. The bulk of this effort has been directed to research using these cells and working with them in laboratories using things like test tubes or other scientific means to grow organ specific cells. Whilst success has been achieved in growing these cells, the trouble has been in controlling them. They "take off" unfortunately and grow out of control often becoming tumours. Now however, great success is being achieved with adult stem cells. What is the difference between these cells and
adult cells?
Provided we have enough stem cells available we can apparently repair almost anything that is threatening our bodies well-being and survival. The problem arises as we get older. The necessary stem cells for body repair deteriorates and we start to have trouble with our health. By the time you are about 30 the availability of the stem cells necessary for repair begins to fall away and by the time you reach 50 or so, your body cannot provide these essential cells needed to keep our body in good shape. Great news! If you are interested in health care; research has now provided an answer.
