Stem Cells Derived From Fat Cells Could Make You Look Younger
Hate becoming fat and feel ashamed of having to carry the extra weight with you all the time? The good news is that one day in the foreseeable future, that paunch you hope to get rid of could be your cure for degenerative tissue by injury, disease or aging. For a long time, scientists have suspected that adipose tissue can be used to extract stem cells for the purpose of creating regenerative medicine. According to them, fat tissue has a lot of blood vessels, which is an important criterion for harvesting stem cells. In an unprecedented study conducted in Australia, scientists have figured out a way to harvest fat tissue from the human body and convert them to stem cells so that they can potentially be used to repair degenerating tissue in the body. This idea came about when the scientists were curious about the way salamanders are able to regenerate their lost limbs so quickly. They spent some time studying the salamanders and found that the key to regenerate lost limb
