Converting Amniotic Fluid-Derived Cells Into Endothelial Cells To Repair Damaged Blood Vessels In Heart Disease, Stroke, Diabetes And Trauma

A research team at Weill Cornell Medical College has discovered a way to utilize diagnostic prenatal amniocentesis cells, reprogramming them into abundant and stable endothelial cells capable of regenerating damaged blood vessels and repairing injured organs. Their study, published online in Cell, paints a picture of a future therapy where amniotic fluid collected from thousands of amniocentesis procedures yearly, during mid-pregnancy to examine fetal chromosomes, would be collected with the permission of women undergoing the test... via Health News from Medical News Today Read More Here..
