In the breast milk of human stem cells is

Group of Australian scientists have found pluripotent stem cells in breast milk.These cells are distinguished by a great resemblance to embryonic. Up to this point, to make such a discovery in the human body could not have anyone. the first time about such a discovery was reported in 2008 by the same Australian scientists. On the basis of experiments with these cells, the researchers found that in vitro cells are relatively easy to differentiate into any type of tissue. In other words, these cells are pluripotent , or versatile. Moreover, these experiments showed that the obtained cells synthesize most of the protein markers characteristic of embryonic cells . scientist, member of the research team conducted the study, Foteini Hassiotou stressed that the number of stem cells in breast milk is about two percent of all cells. By scientific standards, this percentage is still quite high. But in this case it is necessary to add that their ratio may vary depending on the time and volume of milk production. But as the biological purpose of found stem cells , this question remains a mystery. more to present the results of their research, scientists gather at the International Symposium on lactation and breastfeeding, which will take place in early 2012 in Vienna. This discovery has been the subject of serious disputes. Experts from the National Institute for Medical Research in London, argued that the results of these experiments are not reliable, and find - incredible. Whatever it was, to prove the versatility of stem cells found in the cellar. To do this, one has only to enter them into mice, as a result there is need to develop swollen from human tissue . If Australian scientists will be able to confirm their findings through a series of experiments, the breast milk can be a very valuable source for obtaining pluripotent stem cells, which will no ethical differences apply them to medicine.
