No need for umbilical cord stem cells, no need to harvest human stem cells...they use normal red blood cells. holy fuck this is revolutionary. For the new study, the Johns Hopkins team took cord blood cells, treated them with growth factors, and used plasmids to transfer four genes into them. They then delivered an electrical pulse to the cells, making tiny holes in the surface through which the plasmids could slip inside. Once inside, the plasmids triggered the cells to revert to a more primitive cell state. The scientific team next grew some of the treated cells in a dish alone, and some together with irradiated bone-marrow cells. This is paving the path towards healing spinal cord injuries, blindness, and curing diseases. Hope this continues.
