Plus we have stem cells.

So these were also biologically induced from that stem cell line.

Pluripotency distinguishes embryonic stem cells from adult stem cells found in adults while embryonic stem cells can generate all cell types in the body, adult stem cells are multipotent and can produce only a limited number of cell types.

Okay, induced pluripotent stem cells.

It's genetically arrayed.

Somatic or adults stem cells.

And then there's stem cell technology.

That's all stem cells.

So I've studied a lot about stem cells embryonic stem cells are particularly powerful.

You all know about embryonic stem cells.

We've talked about stem cells tonight.

And I focused my research on stem cells as a possible source for cell transplants.

Adult stem cells are throughout our body, including the blood forming stem cells in our bone marrow, which we've been using as a form of stem cell therapy for over 40 years.

So, embryonic stem cells are really incredible cells.

Embryonic stem cells (ES cells) are pluripotent stem cells derived from the inner cell mass of a blastocyst, an early stage preimplantation embryo.

So, in addition to human ES cell research, many groups are focused on the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells).

And obviously, the next question is, hey, well, why don't they just call them stem cells as opposed to embryonic stem cells?

But another thing about these induced pluripotent stem cells is that if we take some skin cells, let's say, from people with a genetic disease and we engineer tissues out of them, we can actually use tissue engineering techniques to generate models of those diseases in the lab.

And if you remember from the videos on phagocytic action or phagocytes, you'll remember there was one type called dendritic cells and they tend to hang out near our skin.

But adult stem cells are not embryonic stem cells.

Then, they sprayed stem cells onto that heart, from a mouse.

These are female and male stem cells.

1967 Influence of Biological Environments A Stem Cell Experiment

Adult stem cells are throughout our body, including the blood forming stem cells in our bone marrow, which we've been using as a form of stem cell therapy for over 40 years.

In 1998, human embryonic stem cells were first identified, and just nine years later, a group of scientists in Japan were able to take skin cells and reprogram them with very powerful viruses to create a kind of pluripotent stem cell called an induced pluripotent stem cell, or what we refer to as an IPS cell.

For example stem cell treatments involve the harvesting of stem cells from one's own bone marrow and reintroduction (autoinoculation) of those cells at a later date, sometimes after altering those stem cells.

I'll draw a couple of dendritic cells and these are also the ones that were really good at activating helper T cells.

let the stem cells grow and create a full copy of that mouse.

Stem cells are packed in that liposuction fluid.

Fat derived stem cells are adult stem cells.

Soon, we actually will be able to use stem cells to replace cells that are damaged or diseased.

Stem cells provide hope for new beginnings small, incremental steps, cells rather than organs, repair rather than replacement.

In common with embryonic stem cells, adult stem cells have the ability to differentiate into more than one cell type, but unlike the former they are often restricted to certain types or lineages .

A number of studies have investigated the possibility of identifying specific markers that may distinguish CSCs from the bulk of the tumor (as well as from normal stem cells).

Mammary stem cells Mammary stem cells provide the source of cells for growth of the mammary gland during puberty and gestation and play an important role in carcinogenesis of the breast.

The role of Bmi 1 has also been illustrated in neural stem cells.

These factors are extremely important for the efficiency of deriving ES cells.

Here go the stem cells, right into the beating heart of the patient.

So, remember I told you about my brother's stem cell transplant.

Today we realize that there are many different types of stem cells.

And some of our investigative teams have demonstrated that female stem cells and this is in animals and increasingly we're showing this in humans that female stem cells, when put even into a male body, do better than male stem cells going into a male body.

But the moral controversy surrounding embryonic stem cells the fact that these cells are derived from five day old human embryos has encouraged research into other types of stem cells.

These embryos can be harvested for patient matching embryonic stem cells.

The cancer stem cells remain, and the tumor can return months or years later.

And at that time, stem cell research had gained momentum, following the isolation of the world's first human embryonic stem cells in the 1990s.
