Stem cells are the future of the child to protect the cardiovascular system of the mother

A group of scientists, which included representatives from several universities in the United States made ​​a sensational discovery - is the unborn child, while in the womb, helps her deal with diseases of the cardiovascular system by using their own stem cells . Researchers conducted a large-scale work, which was aimed at a detailed study of the phenomena of microchimerism . The researchers managed to obtain experimental evidence that stem cells of the fetus are able to migrate into damaged areas of the cardiovascular system of the mother, and thus "restore" these sites. reason that gave rise to the investigation was unusual statistics. In analyzing the statistics of cases on cardiomyopathy , the researchers noticed that 50% of pregnant women, the disease disappears by itself, without any treatment. In order to determine the cause of this phenomenon, scientists conducted studies on mice and thus used green fluorescent protein . During the experiment, it was noticed a strange effect of stem cells of the fetus in the mother's body. The essence of the effect was that the stem cells in contact with the child in the bloodstream of mother, they respond to so-called signals of "help" and immediately "rush" fix it "a problem". Due to its properties, stem cells are transformed into the missing components of the cardiovascular system. As a result, the disease disappears by itself. It is worth noting that scientists are in no hurry to finish his experiment and decided to check how will affect fetal stem cells into other tissues of the body of the mother. But in this case, they have once again confirmed that the stem cells provide assistance only to areas hit by cardiomyopathy . The researchers then identified these cells. It turned out that they have a very high potential for transformation in cardiovascular tissue. This ability is manifested even in laboratory conditions. Based on the materials
