Thread: When stem-cell founded

I am just curious, is the stem cell research started a few decades ago or just a few years ago? And when will we be able to enjoy the medical treatment that you just need to give doctor a cell of yours and he will culture your nucleus of cell in order to produce the organ you need to repair to replace it for yours? Can this be used to cosmetic surgery too?

Learn all about stem cells at:

www.explorestemcells.org

It provides lots of details for those interested in stem cells and includes LABORATORY PROTOCOLS, STEM CELLS FORUM, EXPLORE STEM CELLS, STEM CELL RESEARCH, CARDIAC STEM CELLS, EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS, CULTURE STEM CELLS, STEM CELL NEWS, STEM CELLS, STEM CELL, FACS FORUM. MOLECULAR BIOLOGY PROTOCOLS, CELL BIOLOGY PROTOCOLS etc.

Cheers....

it started a few decades ago.
even if we could grow organs in a docters practise, 'd rather it to be in a sterile lab :-D ...

it would be alot more complicate dthan just give a sample of your cells. you would still need to have the right conditions, it would probably require a sort of nurse to moniter its status eg too hot? enough nuitirants... granted a computer can do that when its not a life as such.
i would guess its a long way off, due to the issuses raised by it both moral and political. with politics there is a stumbing block, and with the stumbling block adds years to developement.

stem cells could be used in a way for cosmetic, but i wouldn' think it would be worth while , just like modern day cosmetic. and it would also face(excuse the pun) the same problems as above
