Nobel Medicine 2012 'paved the way' for incurable diseases

The 2012 Nobel Prize winners for medicine have found single cell cultures and complete tissue cultures, opening a vast prospect to cure incurable diseases for humans, including Genetic diseases. This is the judgment of the female scientist Maria Lagarkova, Head of the genetic laboratory of cell technology, the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Knowing the great experts of cell biology John Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka of Nobel Prize in medicine for inventing adult cells can be 'reprogrammed' to become cells of all kinds, except cells. Pregnancy, Ms. Lagarkova commented with RIA Novosti news agency: 'This is a great shocking invention'.

GS.Shinya Yamanaka, one of the two authors who won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 2012.

Yamanaka has demonstrated that by a very uncomplicated operation from this cell can make another cell. Thus alternative therapy has been given an extraordinary ability to obtain any cell or tissue that replaces damaged cells that cause disease, such as blood cells and neuron. Current technology has enabled the acquisition of healthy neurons from the skin of genetic diseases such as Parkinson's disease and continued use for transplantation.

'This is the most promising direction in the field of cellular technology. Historically, without the works of Gurdon, there would be no works of Yamanaka , "Ms. Lagarkova emphasized.

Gurdon laid the foundation for a cloning technique - accurately reproducing a living object in the form of an arbitrary version. To get an exact copy can use embryonic stem cells of the fetus at an early stage when they are not specialized. The kernel is transplanted into the separated egg cell. They will develop into a new body, bringing all the same genetic characteristics.

Gurdon in the early 1960s, for the first time, made an egg cell with an external nucleus developed to a certain stage on the experimental frogs. About 2% of his samples became adult frogs.
