This is the time, when medical and scientific researchers are just talking and discussing about stem cell technology. This technology has helped in the introduction of various treatments that are showing positive results in curing and treating certain diseases in safest and efficient way. Parkinson’s disease is constantly spreading across UK. There are a large number of patients of this disease only in this part of the world. Researchers are working hard to have control over the spread of this disease. And for this Oxford Parkinson’s Disease Center is the place, where lots of researchers are being done. This center is receiving significant amount of grants, which are used to fund the skin-cell-to-brain research. Before the use of IPS cells for the treatment of this disease, researches have found the basic cause of Parkinson’s disease. They have come to know that when dopamine neurons die, then the person is attacked by this disease. Wade-Martins is the person who has taken the responsibility of leading this project or research. He and his team members are going to collect the skin cells of almost 1000 people and with use those cells for creating induced pluripotent stem cell. The IPS cells that are going to be created by these researchers will be then used in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. The reason why researchers are giving value to the application of stem cell technology is that it is easier and safer to take skin samples rather than doing brain biopsy. When the neurons are taken from skin cells, then the researchers can easily compare the function of those cells, which are taken from the patients with those, which are taken from those people who are not suffering through the disease called Parkinson. It helps them to find the causes and reasons, due to which dopamine neurons die. All this is resulted because of the introduction of IPS cells. http://www.Transposagenbio.com/ provide Custom IPS cells – Transposagen’s exclusive technologies piggyback and rat spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) are utilized to generate custom stem cell technology faster, cheaper and with higher quality than possible by using standard pronuclear injection methods.
