好簡單 細胞泡澡就變幹細胞

現代科技發展速度驚人,不久前才在課堂上討論過這件事的可行性,今天已經有研究成果發表了。 過了幾個月這件事又上新聞了,後來的發展更驚人啊 ! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 來源: http://www.cna.com.tw/search/hydetailws.aspx?qid=201401300013&q=%E5%A5%BD%E7%B0%A1%E5%96%AE+%E7%B4%B0%E8%83%9E%E6%B3%A1%E6%BE%A1%E5%B0%B1%E8%AE%8A%E5%B9%B9%E7%B4%B0%E8%83%9E 【國外醫藥、國外科技】2014-01-30  03:29:55 (中央社倫敦29日綜合外電報導)美國與日本科學家今天分別在「自然」雜誌(Nature)發表研究指出,只要讓成熟動物細胞「泡澡」,就能讓細胞重新編程(reprogram)回復到幹細胞狀態並長成各種細胞組織。 他們發現,如果讓成熟動物細胞處於「壓力」狀態下,它們就能回到胚胎細胞的狀態。 科學家利用血液與皮膚細胞進行繁殖,並讓它們處於壓力下,「幾近死亡的臨界點」,這些壓力包括創傷、低氧與酸性環境。 最簡單的方式是將細胞泡在微酸性溶液30分鐘,就能啟動回復到幹細胞狀態的過程。 數天內,這些細胞不但活下來,還自然回到類似胚胎幹細胞的狀態。 這些細胞之後能依所處環境,分別演變成不同細胞與組織。 如果這個方法在人體上也行得通,修補受損細胞或培養新器官將更簡單。(譯者:中央社何世煌)1030130

CT scans reveal anatomical structures of acupuncture points.A CT (computerized tomography) scan is a series of X-rays used to create cross-sectional images. In this study published in the Journal of Electron Spectroscopy and Related Phenomena, researchers used in-line phase contrast CT imaging with synchrotron radiation on both non-acupuncture points and acupuncture points. The CT scans revealed clear distinctions between the non-acupuncture point and acupuncture point anatomical structures. Acupuncture points have a higher density of micro-vessels and contain a large amount of involuted microvascular structures. The non-acupuncture points did not exhibit these properties. The researchers note that the state-of-the-art CT imaging techniques used in this
