Scientists develop new technology: hematopoietic human skin directly

Canada scientists develop new technologies, patients don't have to search for matching blood in a tight spot

Comprehensive news agency, China daily messages according to the United Kingdom the daily mail site 8, reported that Canada researchers developed a new method of blood, human skin directly into the blood.

This may be a medical breakthrough for cancer, leukemia and patients in the process of bringing new blood transfusion.

Canada McMaster University researchers in the United Kingdom the journal nature published a report on the online version, the previous skin blood method requires a multifunctional stem cells induced by the intermediate link, and they developed a new method is direct conversion, not only process simple, and the blood of higher quality.

According to reports, researchers use virus known as OCT4 gene implantation in the human skin cells, then multiple cytokines in a special environment.

In this way, the skin cells directly into a blood cell progenitor, these precursor cells and white blood cells, red blood cells can be built, the three main types of blood platelet cells.

Researchers in the two years, with adult skin and neonatal circumcision repeated the experiment of confirms that children's skin can be turned into blood, and blood to function properly.

Canada scientist's latest research results for the first time, humanity will be living skin cells directly into blood cells, because the cell itself is already mature, it is no longer necessary to take the time to cultivate, so this method is faster and more practical.

Researchers believe that this new technology medical prospects.

In the future, some patients may have to search for matching blood shouldn't worry about, because the use of your skin will be able to get the blood.
