Over recent years, stem cell therapy has turned into a considerable promise and modern scientific research subject. The advancement of treatment techniques has brought to mind high expectations. Cells in the body have specific goals, though stem cells are cells that do not have a certain role and can become roughly any cell that is needed.

Here it is centered on the innovation of diverse stem cells and the possible therapies established on these cells. Adult cells in our body can simply provide surge to a similar cell type. For instance, a skin cell is unable to give rise to a muscle cell although to skin cells alone. This restrains the possible utilization of adult cells for therapy. In course of initial growth, despite that, the cells in the embryo can produce all cell types of our body, along with stem cells. This potential is known as totipotency. It has helped influence the researchers to seek fresh ways to summarize totipotency using cellular rescheduling in the lab.

Totipotent cells have their own pace and multiple qualities, however, we are not aware of each of them. Scientists and researchers like Dr. David Greene Arizona have created a modern innovation. Mother cells of stem cells have been found in the totipotent cells. DNA replicas arise at a distinct stride in comparison to other more distinguished cells. It is way slower than in some new cell types. DNA reproduction, in reality, is one of the top vital biological processes. During the track of our lives, every time a cell split up, it produces an accurate copy of its DNA. Considering this the consequent daughter cells conduct similar genetic material. This basic belief facilitates the reliable inheritance of our genetic substance.

Researchers like Dr. David Greene Arizona and others found out that the speed of DNA reproduction is as well low in totipotent-like cells, which scientists can culture in a petri dish. This directed us to the query; If we direct to modify the speed at which DNA simulate. Can we enhance the reprogramming of cells through totipotent cells?

Less speed, enhanced cellular reprogramming

In an excellent innovative effort, the researchers discovered certainly the slowing down the DNA replica speed. For instance, by constraining the basis that the cells make use of for DNA fusion. DNA synthesis enhances reprogramming productivity, that is, the value at which cells can change to some other cell type.  

This is remarkable, as per the scientists. In recent years, we have done examining totipotent cells. This is in sequence to study how nature has made them so amazing skilled in producing all cell types of our bodies. This is a basic tactic of our search regarding regenerative medicine methods. This fresh idea is quite simple, but highly influential, and consider that it is immense progress for stem cell therapy.

So, that's how my final report for stem cells is going. I have a day and a half left to finish this report. It sucks, my head hurts. I only know a fraction more about lineage tracing reporter genes than I did when I started.

THIS IS GONNA HAUNT MY DREAMS. For those who don't know this is a brain cell made into a stem cell did some Sciencey Magic bullshit and this CREEPY DOUGH GREW EYES.

“your body is not reacting to the chemo anymore.”

“we will begin the process of doing a stem cell transplant.”

six long months of chemo, steroids, antibiotics, hair loss, rashes, platelets and transfusions, reactions, tests. just to be told, no more chemo because it isnt working any longer. sure, im in remission at this point - but that doesnt mean its gone away. now what? i pray the (stem cell) transplant works, and that im cured. because there will be no “what if” discussions, according to my doctor. 

okay, so whats our process? first, my sister and brother (both halves) will be swabbed. my blood is drawn. in the mean time we check the donor bank just to see if there are matches.. surprise, there isnt. okay, so now Santina (sister) gets results back and shes a match.. so far. were still currently waiting on Michaels (brother) results. then there will be further testing to determine if its one of the two..

in the process of doing all these test and swabs and waiting, ill be receiving what they call a “conditioning”. this is when you prepare your body for the transplant. mind you, my body has been in detox mode from chemo and steroids for the last 6 to 7 weeks. now i begin chemo again, so far ive received one infusion and then i take the pills everyday. ill also be taking five days worth of steroids. 

waiting has never been so hard in my life. life or death has never been a thought in my mind. this journey feels like just a dream at times. cancer? who thought it would be me. they were right, it doesnt discriminate. a young, active, strong mom of two, who worked and tried to help others. in a matter of weeks was on the verge of minutes left to live, without a clue.
