a Study in the United States shows that primitive reproductive cells, or precursor cells of sperm or eggs, clearly have the ability to convert into embryonic stem cellsEmbryonic stem cells can be converted into different kinds of cells, which in turn produce tissues that give hope of a cure for a series of terminal lying diseases that have so far been incurableResearchers at Georgetown School of Medicine and the Washington Area Transplant Association isolated the cells, known as CGPM, using enzymes shortly after the donor's deathDrMartin Dim, one of the study's lead authors, said that if these CGPM cells were placed in a medium of human embryonic stem cells, they could form a cell population with similar characteristics to stem cellsThis led researchers to believe that primitive reproductive cells offer great potential for organ reconstruction therapy
