A different kind of food supplement

[jeanpierre]

May nakapag try na ba sa inyo ng food supplement called "STEM ENHANCE"?

What is?.....

though food supplement lang ang category niya daming claims na after taking the product eh nag improve ang well being nila.

another one of those MLMs

there's too much hype about stem cells

the hype is way ahead of the science

before you take anything that claims to increase number of stem cells...

Stem cell biology has come of age. Unequivocal proof that stem cells exist in the haematopoietic system has given way to the prospective isolation of several tissue-specific stem and progenitor cells, the initial delineation of their properties and expressed genetic programmes, and the beginnings of their utility in regenerative medicine. Perhaps the most important and useful property of stem cells is that of self-renewal. Through this property, striking parallels can be found between stem cells and cancer cells: tumours may often originate from the transformation of normal stem cells, similar signalling pathways may regulate self-renewal in stem cells and cancer cells, and cancer cells may include 'cancer stem cells' - rare cells with indefinite potential for self-renewal that drive tumorigenesis.

baka ibang cells ang ma-increase niyo

cancer comes from stem cells too

Mesenchymal stem cells within tumour stroma promote breast cancer metastasis.

Mesenchymal stem cells have been recently described to localize to breast carcinomas, where they integrate into the tumour-associated stroma. However, the involvement of mesenchymal stem cells (or their derivatives) in tumour pathophysiology has not been addressed. Here, we demonstrate that bone-marrow-derived human mesenchymal stem cells, when mixed with otherwise weakly metastatic human breast carcinoma cells, cause the cancer cells to increase their metastatic potency greatly when this cell mixture is introduced into a subcutaneous site and allowed to form a tumour xenograft.

aye, like I mentioned in the other thread. doubtful pa kung meron mang transdifferential limit ang stem cells, malay niyo di macontrol ang pagmultiply

yep

using the words "enhance cell growth" (or other words with the same idea) in marketing a product may attract customers

but people have to realize cell growth isnt always good

cancer cells also grow

and grow and grow and grow don't stop

[jeanpierre]

Uls yan din ang inisip ko kaya lang it was tested sa lab using mice. Inject nila breast cancer cell sa dalawang mice. Yong isa placebo at iyong isa with stem enhance. After 6 weeks yong placebo lumaki ang cancer cells at yong with stem enhance nag shrink ng 30% ang tumor or cancer cell.

Stem Cells May Be Key to Cancer
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/21/he...canc.html?_r=1

One day, perhaps in the distant future, stem cells may help repair diseased tissues. But there is a far more pressing reason to study them: stem cells are the source of at least some, and perhaps all, cancers.

At the heart of every tumor, some researchers believe, lie a handful of aberrant stem cells that maintain the malignant tissue.

The idea, if right, could explain why tumors often regenerate even after being almost destroyed by anticancer drugs. It also points to a different strategy for developing anticancer drugs, suggesting they should be selected for lethality to cancer stem cells and not, as at present, for their ability to kill just any cells and shrink tumors.

"I think this is one of the most interesting developments in cancer research in the last five years," says Robert Weinberg, a cancer geneticist at the Whitehead Institute in Cambridge, Mass. "I think more and more people are accepting it and evidence is accumulating that cancer stem cells exist in a variety of tumors."

The idea that cancer cells possess the same properties as stem cells has been around for many years. Only recently have biologists developed techniques for identifying stem cells and their presence in tumors.
