Stem cells, increasingly safer

May 7, 2014 10:54 am Published by

Pluripotent stem cells are those that, after being extracted from an organism, can be modified in the laboratory through techniques that regulate their genetic expression. This process allows the cells to lose their original characteristics and acquire a more versatile state, making them a key tool in biomedical research and the development of regenerative therapies.

The goal of this reprogramming is to transform already differentiated adult cells into undifferentiated cells, capable of converting into different cell types according to the needs of the study or treatment. This capability opens new possibilities in personalized medicine, tissue regeneration, and disease research, positioning pluripotent stem cells as a fundamental pillar in the advancement of biotechnology and the medicine of the future.
