哺乳动物外周血中发现原始成年干细胞

Moraga  Biotechnology  Corporation,  an  adult  stem  cell  company  based  in  Los  Angeles,  California,  announces  the  discovery  of  its  proprietary  Blastomere-Like  Stem  Cells  (BLSCs)  circulating  in  the  peripheral  blood  of  mammals.  The  Company's  scientists  found  that  these  adult  stem  cells  were  able  to  differentiate  into  most  tissues  and  organs  of  the  body.

The  Company's  scientists  have  developed  a  proprietary  and  cost-effective  method  for  isolating  and  purifying  large  numbers  of  its  primitive  embryonic-  like  stem  cells  from  the  blood  without  ex  vivo  expansion.  Moraga  recently  announced  that  its  BLSCs  were  found  in  large  numbers  throughout  the  body.  The  Company  believes  this  new  discovery  is  a  major  breakthrough  for  finding  large  numbers  of  primitive  adult  stem  cells  circulating  in  the  blood.

Moraga's  chief  executive,  Dr.  John  F.  Wong,  noted  that  the  ability  to  isolate  these  primitive  embryonic-like  stem  cells  in  peripheral  blood  allows  the  Company  to  enter  the  stem  cell  banking  business  in  the  near  future.  With  this  new  method  for  isolating  stem  cells,  the  Company  will  be  able  to  bank  an  individual's  stem  cells  by  simply  withdrawing  a  sample  of  their  blood.  The  Company  intends  in  the  very  near  future  to  establish  processing  centers  to  which  a  donor's  blood  sample  is  shipped;  the  blood  is  processed;  and,  the  stem  cells  are  isolated.  The  BLSCs  are  then  stored  at  the  center  for  future  therapeutic  and  diagnostic  use.  Dr.  Wong  further  stated  that  "by  circumventing  the  expensive  process  of  isolating  and  expanding  the  stem  cells  outside  the  body,  the  Company  can  now  travel  down  a  shorter  path  towards  developing  a  near-term  solution  for  autologous  stem  cell-based  therapies,  from  which  its  BLSCs  may  be  used  for  treating  various  forms  of  diseases  such  as  heart  attacks,  Parkinson's  disease  and  stroke."
