\"human<\/p>\n

Though, many overweight individual may think of shaping up, shading off that extra fat, researchers now seem to be getting fonder to a obese person, as they have extracted human stem cells from fat.
\n
\nAh! So, it means yet another important source of cells discovered! — yes, cells that are needed for bone marrow reconstituting in patients undergoing intensive radiation therapy for blood cancers. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine have successfully not just isolated, but also cultured human hematopoietic stem cells from fat — or adipose tissues. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The researchers have detected a broad spectrum of blood-forming — or hematopoietic — cells among the cultured cells at varying differentiation stages.<\/p>

\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n

The derived data indicate that hematopoietic stem cells are an integral part of normal adipose tissue. Thanks to a cell-sorting method known as flow cytometry.<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr. Albert D. Donnenberg, Ph.D., professor and director of the Hematopoietic Stem Cell Laboratory, University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute said,<\/p>\n

We took cells from the stromal vascular fraction of normal adipose tissue and basically gave them bone marrow food to see what would happen. We were able to culture a variety of hematopoietic cells, including blood progenitor cells.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That, bone marrow grafts-contaminating tumor cells are the source of recurrent malignancies, have always been worries for doctors. But, this new finding can help patients — in need for bone marrow reconstitution – with their own hematopoietic cells, which are derived from a source other than their own defective bone marrow.<\/strong><\/p>\n
