Better way to grow stem cells developed

Scientist and biologist have develop a synthetic surface that would allow stem cells to grow and reproduce on their own for along period of time. Stem cells growth is considering the surface of the cells for its roughness, stiffness and affinity for water. Then after the experiment, they found that roughness and stiffness didn’t have to do much with the growth. Hydrophobicity is corresponding to the polymers created. Scientist need stem cells badly, so they must find a way to make stem cells reproduce more, but the protein to make identical of stem cells are inefficient. A protein called vitronectin enable cells to attach to the surfaces.

Stem cells are the ideal to cure cancers and other disease, because stem cells are cells that have not been programs to be apart of anything inside the body. It is like a baby that is born and have nothing to do with the world. Stem cells come from two places, the embryo cells or body cells that have been reprograms to an immature state , the state is called pluripotency. Pluripotency is a stage when cells can be program to be any specialize cells. This way, the cells that are damaged in any way while the disease or cancer is taking affect, stem cells will replace those cells that have lost. Stem cells can also be reprogram into fighting soldiers within the body to fight off a certain virus, bacteria, or etc.

Stem cells research have been a big deal through ages, but now instead of taking the stem cells through an embryo or a human, they can make the stem cells reproduce on its own. This is a really big change within the science to be able to save lives. The research will keep on going so that they can find materials that would fit other cells.
