The Human Cell Rejuvenated

Stem cell research at the Chinese Academy of Sciences Guangzhou Institute of Biomedicine and Health has produced a way of rejuvenating the human cell. Embryonic stem cells cultivated from adding hair or skin cells to various elements repairs genomes and induces them into hematopoietic stem cells that are injected into the patient's body. This represents a potential breakthrough in the treatment of Mediterranean anemia. As the cells used to rebuild the organ are actually the patient's own, the procedure carries none of the risks of rejection associated with organ transplant surgery, according to a leading expert.
