Embryonic Stem Cells May Be Used To Create New Skin
November 19, 2009Boston (SmartAboutHealth) - A new study out of France has revealed that embryonic stem cells may be used to actually create new skin for humans.
The belief is that by using these embryonic stem cells to create new skin, that it could prove extremely helpful in the treatment of burn victims.
Burn victims usually have to wait for skin grafts when they suffer their injuries, but these can take quite some time to develop.
This i sbecause they come from human skin cells and take longer to produce.
While they are waiting for these skin grafts, the thought process now is that the embroynic stem cells could actually create a temporary skin for the victims.
What this means is that it could help in the healing process, helping these burn victims to avoid complications.
The research, as stated, comes out of France and has been published in the November 20th issue of the journal The Lancet.

Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome - food allergies
Anecdotal evidence suggests that food allergies and intolerances may have a role in exacerbating CP/CPPS, perhaps through mast cell mediated mechanisms.

Patients may therefore find an elimination diet helpful in lessening symptoms by identifying ...Section: Prostatitis
