Some skin cells could return to his state of stem cells with the capacity to regenerate tissue as well as Calvieri Stefano, Italian researcher who claims to have found a way to do it. In an interview published today in the online edition of newspaper La Repubblica, Calvieri has found that some existing cells or cultured skin placed on a "particular support" would return to the moment they are capable of multiplying. The cells could then regenerate the skin tissue, which would be "a revolution in the world of dermatology," according to the newspaper, indicating that it could even be applied in other fields, such as organ transplants. Calviere, director of the dermatology clinic at the polyclinic I

of Rome, is waiting to patent his discovery and that their work is published in the journal PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences), why has not wanted which reveal that this "particular support". Although not hide his optimism, the director of the clinic is cautious: "The conditional use is required because for now, with the money and the means at our disposal, we succeeded in demonstrating that these cells have some characteristics of the cells mother. "We are convinced that stem cells for all purposes, but it is necessary in science to use all the necessary precautions," he adds. Among the advantages of his method Calviere stresses that "has a very low cost" and also does not pose any ethical problems, because the cells do not come from embryos and umbilical cords is not cloning, but from a patient's own cells .
