study of mice with spinal cord injuries by Japanese scientists, transplanting neuroexformer cells differentiated by "iPS cells" can improve their symptoms" iPS cells" are "ploritorcells" transformed by somatic cell differentiation, which has similar functions to embryonic stem cells, but bypasses the ethical controversy that embryonic stem cell research has been facing, so its application in the medical field is very promisingAccording to Japan's Asahi Shimbun2
conducted the study in collaboration with researchers from Keio University in Japan and Kyoto UniversityThe micetoleg paralysis because of a spinal cord injurynine days after the injury,researchers transplanted neuro-pre-emigration cells differentiated from "iPS cells" to laboratory miceResults The rear leg function of the experimental mice was restored
supported the body weightThe study showed
thatimplanted nerve progenitor cells in laboratory mice not only further differentiated into nerve cells, but also promoted nerve regeneration at the transplant site Scientists also plan to experiment with monkeys from next year, with the ultimate goal of using similar therapies in humans Earlier this month, scientists at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research in the United States announced progress in using "iPS cells" to treat sickle cell emis in mice
