According to a new research, it has been found out that stem cells help to regenerate breasts in women after surgery. The stem cells are basically those undifferentiated cells that are fully capable to differentiate further into other cell types. Till now, surgeons used to collect stem cells from two sources – adult tissue and embryo formed during embryonic development. Recently it has been discovered that menstrual blood is a rich source of stem cells. The researchers have discovered a new cell therapy. This new therapy uses the regenerative capacity of women to grow fat tissues in the breasts.
This amazing technique requires putting a special plastic mould beneath the skin from where the breast has been removed. After this, the region is injected with vital stem cells of the patient. For this, a gel is inserted that helps the cells to multiply. It takes a time period of six months to one year for the fat and stem cells to rejuvenate gradually. This process continues till the new breast tissue is completely formed. Menstrual blood is proving to be the easiest and the richest source for these cells. Moreover, menstrual blood stem cells have the high potential to differentiate into various cells types.
UK and Melbourne scientists have the opinion that the new breasts developed because of this new therapy, make breasts look natural. In addition, it also feels soft on touching. Further, according to the experts the new stem cell therapy is more comfortable and trouble-free as compared to silicon implants. Many researchers are making efforts to make this therapy available to every woman as soon as possible. For this, the targets have already been set and many medical agencies are dedicated to make this discovery known to women all around the world. Women with partial mastectomy, defects due to earlier reconstruction or congenital deformities can also be operated successfully with this wonderful research in the field of medical history.
The therapy is naturally available at premium prices. Professor Kefah Mokbel, a famous breast surgeon consultant at St George’s Hospital of London is successfully conducting this therapy for the past few months. Mokbel has already operated some handful of women patients with abundant stem cells who have started to develop new breasts. According to Mokbel, the results were highly impressive. It is by far the most natural and the most secure method as compared to those that involve insertion of foreign particles. Such type of research was most awaited and several efforts are being made to make this possible. With discovery of this wonderful therapy scientists are hoping to reveal many secrets further.
