Australian scientists, inspired by the way salamanders are able to replace lost limbs, they found out how to convert human fat cells into stem cells, which can potentially regenerate any damaged tissue in the body!
THE METHOD!
First of all the fat cells collected from the body. Then they are converted into adult stem cells (they are undifferentiated cells, found throughout the body after development, that multiply by cell division) help of growth factors (they are substances, such as hormones or proteins, which are required for the stimulation of growth in living cells).
The adult stem cells are then induced to become pluripotent stem cells, which can give rise to any type of cell in the body!
These cells can then be used to repair any type of tissue in the body, including injured hearts and damaged spinal cords. They can also be used to repair joint and muscle degeneration.
Researchers hope to begin human trials this year!
It's a revolutionary method!
