RE: Stem Cell Treatments In Panama

in #medicine8 years ago

Seems like the exact mechanism they're exploring is called "protein expression" (or something). There are a lot of protein configurations. There are so many, they have to use computer modeling to brute force every single permutation that has or will ever exist. At this rate, it'll take billions of years to find them all.

So there's a non-zero possibility that brute force approach will isolate the exact protein (or series of proteins) that already happen naturally, then the entire stem-cell debate can be side-stepped.

In the meantime, these stem-cells are ethical. Apparently efficacious. The red tape makes no sense. Thanks Obama.

Sort:  

Completely ethical and better than the other sources for reasons discussed in the video. These do not cause tumors whereas other stem cells can and often do if not “processed” correctly. Bottom line, it is insane that these treatments exist, but are out of reach in the U.S. unless you can afford a trip to Panama.
