So he'll take, say, falcon skin cells, fibroblast, turn it into induced pluripotent stem cells.

Fat derived stem cells are adult stem cells.

But adult stem cells are not embryonic 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.

This was done in Japan and in the U.S., published at the same time, and it rebooted skin cells into stem cells, last year.

like skin cells, gut cells, and blood cells.

That's all stem cells.

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

So, embryonic stem cells are really incredible 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.

Okay, induced pluripotent stem cells.

Plus we have stem cells.

Somatic or adults stem cells.

Pluripotency distinguishes embryonic stem cells from adult stem cells found in adults while embryonic stem cells can generate all cell types in the body, adult stem cells are multipotent and can produce only a limited number of cell types.

If we cannot use stem cells from your body then we'd like to use donor stem cells.

Neural crest stem cells Hair follicles contain two types of stem cells, one of which appears to represent a remnant of the stem cells of the embryonic neural crest.

We've talked about stem cells tonight.

Embryonic stem cells (ES cells) are pluripotent stem cells derived from the inner cell mass of a blastocyst, an early stage preimplantation embryo.

The most important difference between stem cells and progenitor cells is that stem cells can replicate indefinitely, whereas progenitor cells can divide only a limited number of times.

These aren't even the skin cells themselves, these are the molecules that make up the skin cells.

For example stem cell treatments involve the harvesting of stem cells from one's own bone marrow and reintroduction (autoinoculation) of those cells at a later date, sometimes after altering those stem cells.

Then amongst those skin cells, I'll do some other cells.

Both human and mouse cells can be reprogrammed by this methodology, generating both human pluripotent stem cells and mouse pluripotent stem cells without an embryo.

It's a great source of stem cells.

These are female and male stem cells.

You all know about embryonic stem cells.

Stem cells are packed in that liposuction fluid.

And for those we still need stem cells.

And adult stem cells are found in you and me in our blood, in our bone marrow, in our fat, our skin and other organs.

And adult stem cells are found in you and me in our blood, in our bone marrow, in our fat, our skin and other organs.

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

So let me draw some skin cells.

We can now reprogram your skin cells to actually act like a pluripotent embryonic stem cell and to utilize those potentially to treat multiple organs in that same patient making your own personalized stem cell lines.

We also have adult stem cells throughout our body.

And I stumbled across something called cancer stem cells.

At first when I heard of cancer stem cells,

But the moral controversy surrounding embryonic stem cells the fact that these cells are derived from five day old human embryos has encouraged research into other types of stem cells.

In 1998, human embryonic stem cells were first identified, and just nine years later, a group of scientists in Japan were able to take skin cells and reprogram them with very powerful viruses to create a kind of pluripotent stem cell called an induced pluripotent stem cell, or what we refer to as an IPS cell.

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.

It is a rich source of hematopoietic stem cells, which are precursors to blood cells.
