Stem cells from female genital track
Mumbai, May 06: Indian scientists on Tuesday claimed that they have
successfully created heart cells from the lining of uterus.
The joint research was carried out by a Kolhapur-based gynaecologist
Dr Satish Patki and scientist at National Centre for Cell Science,
Pune, Dr Ramesh Bhonde.
They also demonstrated stem cells isolated from fallopian tubes and
ovaries, and endometrium -- the entire female genital track -- were
differentiated from heart, liver, bone, kidney, fat and pancreas
cells.
The scientists claimed that the medical fraternity could do
autologous (stem cells from the patient) transplantation and thus
revolutionise the entire science of obstetrics and gynaecology.
This study will bring about tremendous impact in the various
disorders like pregnancy induced hypertension and cases of recurrent
abortions, Patki and Bhonde told media today at Kolhapur.
Clinical trials on these multipotent cells for all gynaecological
related problems are expected to start within six months, the
scientists said.
Apart from its human application, the present research will be useful
for studying the effects of various drugs on the cells cultured in
the laboratory. Similar techniques will also be useful for increasing
the population of various endangered animal species like tigers or
pandas by using various fertility enhancing techniques, based on this
research, Bhonde said.
The differentiated heart cells, myotubules, were shown beating, which
can be directly used for therapeutics, Pitke told agencies from
Kolhapur.
