What was the first stem cell banking facility to open in the US?

Amniotic stem cell bank a facility that stores stem cell derived from amniotic fluid for future use. the first private amniotic stem cell bank in the US was opened by Biocell center in October 2009 in Medford, Massachusetts.


What are the differences between T cell and stem cell?

Stem cells are undifferentiated biological cells that can differentiate into specialized cells and can divide (through mitosis) to produce more stem cells. So, they basically have the ability to grow any type of cell. T cells or T lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell that plays a central role in the immune system. So, they basically help us resist disease.


What are the advantages of the use of the different types of stem cells?

what a stem cell is is a cell that has not yet been selected for use. a blank slate which can be used theoretically to cure disease and even rebuild nerves and severed limbs. the only downfall to this is that a large majority of our stem cells get used to create us as fetuses, making it a controversial subject. the possibility's are endless and would take medical science to a new level with stem cell research.


Why are stem cells important-?

One reason that stem cells are important is due to human development from stem cells. As such, an understanding of their unique attributes and control can teach us more about early human development. Diseases such as cancer are thought to result from abnormal cell proliferation and differentiation. This means that an understanding of where things go 'wrong' in stem cell division and thus lead to cancer can help us find ways to prevent the dysfunctional changes or employ effective ways to treat them with targeted drugs.


What are some benefits of researching stem cells?

Cells function in different parts of the body. Stem cells are cells that have not yet formed into a perticular kind of cell; i.e.- red blood cells, white blood cells, skin cells, etc. Scientists can "coax", if you will, the stem cells into any type of cell that they want/need. With stem cells, a person with, say, a blood disorder has the opportunity to go for a stem cell treatment, which would inject the cells into the affected part of the body. The scientists would have, by this point, made the stem cells into the type that the patient needs. With the new cells, the person has a very good chance of having the disorder cured.

i want to have a stem cell transplant, where can I get one?

Could you please email us ASAP on projects@reussinternational.com and let us know what your condition is? You would need to speak to your Physician about a stem cell transplant and have a medical need for doing so.


Is stem cell research legal in the US?

Why is it that the stem cell is not fully accepted in US?

Stem cell research, in general, is accepted in the US. Fetal stem cell research is a different matter. Fetal stem cell research requires the destruction of a human fetus. Many Americans believe that a human fetus is a living human being, and therefore, the destruction of a human fetus is murder.Nevertheless, abortion is not illegal in the US, and neither is fetal stem cell research. I want to be clear on this. Fetal stem cell research has never been illegal in the US. However, the last President, George W Bush, issued an executive order forbidding the use of federal funds to finance fetal stem cell research, on the very reasonable notion that anyone who disagrees with something shouldn't be forced, though taxes, to pay for it. Even that executive order did not apply to stem cell lines that were already in existence at the time of the order. So the fact is, there was no ban on fetal stem cell research in the US, and there wasn't even a restriction on federal funding for fetal stem cell research, as long as the researchers used one of the dozens of already-existing lines of fetal stem cells.In any event, there was no restriction at all on stem cell research in general. This is the most mis-characterized action that any President has ever taken. As evidenced by the fact that so many people (including the person who asked this question) believe that all stem cell research is forbidden in the US. That is a flat-out lie that the former President's political opponents ginned up to discredit him (as if he didn't do enough realstuff to discredit himself).Furthermore, the current President, Obama (who has already done more, in just six months, to discredit himself than the former President did in 8 years), overturned Bush's executive order. So now, people like me, who oppose destroying human fetuses, are forced to not only accept the fact that it is happening, but to pay for it, with our tax dollars. That is unconscionable.But let's be frank about the benefits of fetal stem cell research. There have been no breakthroughs on this research. Not one single clinical treatment has been derived, despite over a decade of research. Meanwhile, hundreds of treatments have developed from adult stem cell research. Why do you think fetal stem cell researchers want federal funds to finance their work? Because they can't get private funds. No one will invest in this, because they've studied it, and there's no potential there. Adult stem cell researchers don't needfederal funds, because private investors are falling all over themselves to invest in this promising field. Not so with fetal stem cell research. Because it's a dead end, and everyone knows it.

Do stem cell enhancers really work?

Yes, Stem Cell Enhancers really workHow do Stem Cells Work?Stem cells are the basic building blocks of your body. They have the ability to change into any tissue of your body to rebuild itself in times of stress or aging. Out of the three different stem cells available, two are used most for stem cell research. Embryonic stem cell research is at the forefront of world debate due to the fact that a human embryo is needed. Many feel that this is human life and by allowing researchers to dissect it for stem cell research it is taking a life. Seeing how embryonic stem cells are the easiest to use for stem cell research a strong effort is being made to gain legal access for research purposes.While embryonic stem cells are the most sought after, much is being done with adult stem cells as well in the scientific community. Adult stem cells are stem cells that are found within the body after birth. Every one of us is created and living from our own stem cells within our bodies. During our childhood, our bodies will release large amounts of stem cells to enhance our bodies.Adult stem cells are mostly found within bone marrow. From the bone marrow it is then released into the blood stream where it travels throughout the body in search of an organ that is in need. If your liver is in need of repair, the adult stem cell will then attach itself to the liver and begin to multiply and become a new, healthy liver cell. Adult stem cells are the natural way in which the body rebuilds itselfOver time, as we age, the body tends to not release as many adult stem cells as it once did. So when there is a need, there are less amounts within the blood stream to answer the call.So if our own bodies carry the tools needed to rebuild ourselves and enhance our health then why isn't anyone creating something to help us with our supply of adult stem cells? There is new hope for all of us.
