Conventional medicine was not aware that stem cell research could cover a variety of healing properties since its introduction to modern approaches to treating patients. It is a wonder for humanity that this type of application is now in leaps and bounds in the field of science and medicine.
In latest scientific studies, Stem Cells had been proven to accelerate healing to a wide scope of injuries and harmful invasion of human cells, according to Joseph T. Rodgers, assistant professor of the Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine at the University of California. Dr. Rodgers' study of stem cells led to his discovery of other idle stem cells being alerted in other parts of the body when an injury occurs. Alert stem cells have a higher healing rate. He also found that a signal is sent to issue the alert warning to stem cells.
To identify the source of the alert signal, Dr, Rodgers and his team turned their attention to the blood. By injecting blood from an injured mouse to an uninjured one. Inside the system of the uninjured mouse, the stem cells are on an alert status, reports Science Daily.
It was then identified that the alert to stem cells that issues the warning is known as the Hepatocyte Growth Factor Activator (HGFA). There is an abundance of HGFA in the blood but are inactive. Injuries activate the HGFA that alerts Stem Cells all over the body preparing them for action, as reported by Medical Express.
The therapeutic stem cell approach will be very helpful in preparing the body for anticipated injuries. The expected injuries could be from combat, surgery, and sports. It will also be of great help to patients with hampered healing conditions like the elderly and those suffering from diabetes.
The Stem Cell Scientific Study had proven that answers could be found in the blood that controls the ability to heal. Also, Dr. Rodgers expects to get answers regarding the decline of healing. He also expects HGFA to restore it to normal healing.
