Your Inner Healers


In the Article, "Your Inner Healers" page 48, I found it interesting that scientists are now working to develop the potential of iPSCs to help in understanding and treating human diseases that have so far defied cures, such as type 1 diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. It has transformed the way scientists think about human development by delivering a few select genes and changing the cells identity.
Another interesting topic is the possibility of using stem cells to reverse aging which needs a lot more research before it will be tested on humans.
