Fat derived stem cells are adult stem cells.

Or we can use cells alone, either your very own cells or different stem cell populations.

So we're attacking the wrong target.

like heart, liver, nerve and pancreas.

Let me write that down.

What's that? A possible treatment using stem cells from a genetically compatible donor.

Many scientists can now grow many different types of cells.

They discovered that adult cells, taken from you and me, could be reprogrammed back into embryonic like cells, which they termed IPS cells, or induced pluripotent stem cells.

That turns out to be a big deal because now you can take, not just mouse cells, but you can human skin cells and turn them into human stem cells.

And then what they did in October is they took skin cells, turned them into stem cells and began to turn them into liver cells.

The whole process of differentiation is actually fascinating, and we'll talk a lot more about that when we talk about stem cells, embryonic stem cells, and maybe we'll even talk about the debate of it.

I'll nicely demonstrate that for you. (Laughter)

And we're working a lot with the stem cells that we published on two years ago, stem cells from the amniotic fluid, and the placenta, which have those properties.

So you have this notion of when you to get an embryonic stem cell line, and when I say a stem cell line, I mean you take a couple of stem cells, or let's say you take one stem cell, and then you put it in a Petri dish, and then you allow it to just duplicate.

These are actually cells that we obtained.

4.8 million suffer cardiac failure.

Then you will see roots digging deep, building a strong foundation

They've got great potential but haven't yet entered clinical trials.

So I've studied a lot about stem cells embryonic stem cells are particularly powerful.

And we got, again, about three to six times more stem cells than the standard approach done on the same patient.

This is a stem cell that we've developed here in Oxford, from an embryonic stem cell.

This is an extremely new field.

It's a great source of stem cells.

Let me write this down in a vibrant color.

Then someone could take one of these and then put it in their own Petri dish.

Because women bring new life into the world.

I wanted to live.

So a bone cell reads only the set of instructions it needs to become bone.

And this is really what I want to talk to you about today about cancer.

So why should you care? Bone marrow is a very rich source of adult stem cells.

It remembers that it's cancer.

Adult stem cells are throughout our body, including the blood forming stem cells in our bone marrow, which we've been using as a form of stem cell therapy for over 40 years.

And part of that's because we're bathing the brain in the chemical.

And it was really interesting there were articles correlating if you have a bone fracture, and then bone cancer arises.

leaving just the cartilage.

So, what can we do about it?

That's a way to do it.

At first when I heard of cancer stem cells,

And obviously, the next question is, hey, well, why don't they just call them stem cells as opposed to embryonic stem cells?

All done in the lab.

But adult stem cells are not embryonic stem cells.

And for those we still need stem cells.

Embryonic stem cells have occupied center stage, chiefly because of their pluripotency that is their ease in differentiating into a variety of different cell types.

Out comes the liposuction fluid, and in this case, the stem cells are isolated and turned into neurons.
