Getting your player ready...
That fat you’ve been carrying on your hips, thighs and belly can be transformed with relative ease into cells that eventually may be capable of repairing a wide range of your damaged or diseased tissues, according to a new report.
Stem cells found in fat deposits, it turns out, are more primitive than are many cells harvested from tissues such as skin and blood and can more easily be reprogrammed to become muscle, neuron and stomach-lining cells, finds the study, to be published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
