Teeth help heal bone injuries

Teeth help heal bone injuries

A number of university scientists Nagoya Japan, found that the teeth can help patients with spinal cord injuries can walk again.

As quoted by the Daily Mail, they transplant dental pulp stem cells into laboratory mice rats. The result is that the rats gradually began to move back bone. Stem cells are 'cells wild' that have not differentiated, not yet grown into the elements for a particular organ. Cell types normally found in bone marrow, embryos, umbilical cord, as well as several other networks.

Pulp stem cells from dental work to overcome the nerve cells that die. These cells will regenerate nerve cells are lost and encourage the growth of other cells to facilitate movement of the spine.

"Pulp stem cells can be in the extraction of wisdom teeth through adult teeth with no adverse health effects", said the scientists. we expect dental stem cells can be good resources and practical for the treatment of spinal cord injury. Dr Mark Bacon, who led the research on the spine, said "in the context of spinal cord injury, this is a new finding and seems to show promising results. The result can be seen after transplantation of cells assigned to the injured tooth. These findings are expected to be the solution to help mobility of the patient's life.

Preventing skin cancer with coffee powder

Preventing skin cancer with coffee powder - Research conducted by Dr. Allan Conney of Rutgers University in New Jersey, USA, showed that caffeine in coffee can help prevent the onset of non-melanoma skin cancer by helping to kill the damaged cells are likely to be a tumor. even put the coffee powder over the skin may be a way to get protected from the risk of getting cancer.

The conclusion was drawn after an experiment using mice in the laboratory. These rodents were genetically engineered so that it lack of production of an enzyme called ATR. The researchers were able to prove, the mice can be protected from cancer even when exposed to ultraviolet light.
