Do Stem Cells act as Anti-Cancer Vaccines?
Induced
Pluripotent Stem Cells iPSC are originated from skin or blood cells that
have been reprogrammed back into an embryonic like pluripotent cells that
enables the increase of an unlimited source of any type of human cell needed
for therapeutic purposes.
iPS cells plays an
important role in regenerative medicine. They can become many different types
of cells and tissues that can help in damage repair due to trauma or disease. Recent
study shows that the iPS cells training the immune system to attack or even
prevent tumours. Ten years ago, adult
cells were genetically reprogrammed to behave like pluripotent stem cells. To
produce the vaccine for cancer, the researchers turned to induced pluripotent
stem cells. The main aim of the
study is to vaccinate a person with his or her own iPS cells to protect against
the development of many types of cancer.
The iPS cells mimic
Anti-Cancer vaccine because, since the cancer cells resemble immature
progenitor cells, which are free from the growth restrictions built into mature
cells that make up the body’s tissues. Injecting iPS cells
that genetically match the recipient, but that are unable to replicate, can
safely expose the immune system to a variety of cancer-specific targets, the
researchers found.
To know more about the Stem Cell Research join us at our upcoming conference 11th Annual
Conference on Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine which is going to be
held at Finland, Helsinki in the month of October 15th – 16th,
2018.
I read this article, it is really informative one. Your way of writing and making things clear about the Stem Cell is very impressive.Thanking you. Learn more info about stem cell therapy here.
