since it was announced last month that universal cells have been developed from human skin, on December 1st, Adheshi Yamanaka, a professor at Kyoto University in Japan, published a new study in the journal Nature Biotechnology, which used a cancer-causing gene to make, but now makes universal cells even if it doesn'tThis result will greatly improve the safety of clinical applicationsBy injecting four genes into skin cells to form universal cells, but these genes contain the cancer-prone gene c-Myc, the gene developed by this method of universal cells produced by the universal cells of 6 of the 37 mice, about 20 percent of the growthtumor, these cancer-causing mice will die in about 100 daysAfter further research, yamanaka team removed c-Myc, a cancer-prone gene in four genes, injected only the remaining three genes into skin cells for experiments, and after adjusting the culture conditions, a new universal cell was created, so that the new cells produced 26 mice, after 100 days of breeding without a case of cancerProfessor Yamanaka said the research approach, while a breakthrough in security, did not solve all security problemsBecause the virus is needed to inject genes into skin cells, the virus still can cause cancer, and further research is needed to address the problem in the future
