Stem Cells for infertility
Valencia .- The director of the Center for Education and Research with embryonic stem cells University Stanford, Renee Reijo, said that knowing the passage of cell gamete mother will prevent infertility.
Reijo, a leading researcher in the creation of artificial gametes from pluripotent stem cells has made these statements in the fourth International Congress of IVI, which until last Saturday met in Valencia to a thousand experts in assisted reproduction, according to a statement from the organization.
lines stem cells grown in the lab provide scientists the opportunity to use in treating diseases like diabetes, obesity, Parkinson and infertility.
According to the development of diseases like cancer or Parkinson 'occurs at some point in the stem cells become specialized cells "and the current challenge is to understand this process identify the key moment and to act to prevent further development. "
"We've already covered half the way in creating artificial eggs and sperm, but we need further research to achieve better quality gametes," said Reijo, who added that this would allow "the creation of gametes Patients who do not have them, that could avoid the donation. "
The Center for Education and Research with embryonic stem cells at Stanford University is also investigating another potential application of stem cells: making cells and tissues for medical treatment, so that People who need a transplant to resort to its own cells and, thus, prevent transplant rejection posed.
Moreover, the president of IVI, Antonio Pellicer, has said that in assisted reproduction "challenge is making life more comfortable for the patient through the humanization Maximum treatments. "
According Pellicer, mimic the natural conception process passes to avoid multiple pregnancies and ovarian hyperstimulation, which has virtually disappeared with the new drugs.
" The major cause of abandonment in assisted reproduction treatments is stress, mainly due to the medication, and is now moving from daily injections to oral drugs, which standardizes the process of looking for a baby to the patient, "says Pelletier.
Finally, Pellicer has stressed the importance that had in recent years the clinical application of vitrification prevents the woman to have more of a process of ovarian stimulation.
