Japan succeeded in mesenchymal stem cells raise their capacity
Japan Industrial Technology Research Institute recently issued press release said that they successfully passed the gene implant mesenchymal stem cell proliferative capacity increased by about 100 times.
Mesenchymal stem cells can be extracted from bone marrow and other parts, with differentiation into bone, cardiac muscle, nerve and other cells of capacity, and the field of regenerative medicine has broad prospects. However, the stem cells extracted A few weeks later, their proliferation will be a sharp decline, this is the practical application of the need to be addressed in a very important subject.
Press releases, and Industrial Technology Research Institute will use the virus reverse transcriptase, “Nanog” and “Sox2″ These two gene into decline proliferation of mesenchymal stem cells. The results showed that, of these two genes into stem cells in 3-6 weeks after the volume only increased by 10 times, and import “Nanog” stem cell gene to the original number of about 1000 times.
