Amniotic fluid-derived stem cells aid therapeutically

In a remarkable medical breakthrough, researchers at the University of South Florida have unveiled the unique ability of stem cells found in human amniotic fluid to be isolated and transplanted for therapeutic purposes.

According to the study, amniotic fluid, the insipid liquid with antiseptic properties found in the amniotic sac of a pregnant woman, contains considerable quantities of stem cells.

Researchers pin point root cause of baldness

Receding hairlines, the arrival of the bald patches and the thoughts of suffering from permanent baldness, something feared by most men worldwide, may soon be a thing of the past.

US scientists have identified a defect in stem cells involved in hair growth, an achievement that can help develop targets for manipulating hair growth, thereby ending the frustration and embarrassment of baldness.

Lead researcher, George Cotsarelis, Assistant Professor of dermatology from the University of Pennsylvania stated, “A large contingent of the population has male pattern baldness and some will go to any ends to try to reverse it.

“This lowers the bar for developing a treatment. It definitely gives us hope we can reverse the condition.”

A cure for baldness on the horizon

With the advances made in stem cell science and medical innovations, the thought of suffering from permanent baldness may soon be a thing of the past.

In an exciting new research, German scientists have created the world’s first hair follicle, using stem cells that promise hair growth, an achievement that can end the frustration and embarrassment of baldness and provide a proven cure.

For many years scientists have focused on the capabilities and promise of stem cells that are the body’s master cells.

Stem cell science has established a workable theory for how adult stem cells can be generated into any tissue in the human body from blood to bone and whole organs.
