APLICACIÓN CÉLULAS MADRE

If we might be able to develop medicines that now activate stem cells that we know exist in many of our tissues is an on-going, very active aspect of research. So you can imagine in that case, what we might be thinking about is not so much using a cell, infusing it, putting it in the place of a damaged tissue, but perhaps just taking medicines, something that we already know a lot about, and now asking these medicines to change the context, to change the signals the triggers for the stem cells that lives in the tissue and forcing it to start to become more active and regenerating, rather than just essentially maintaining, rather than allowing a scar to form. David Scadden, co-director of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute, envisions a future where medicines activate stem cells already in our bodies
