Teratomas: The type of tumor that grows without any rules, also ... grows both teeth and hair

Let's learn about teraoma - kind of silent but quite dangerous for you, as they develop with worrying symptoms.

So far, the mystery of the human body has not been completely solved by science . For example, our immune system is resistant to itself, causing autoimmune disease that has no definitive treatment.

One of the biggest mysteries is the body's ability to form tumors. Especially in which there are very strange blocks, like the kind of monster we will mention in this article.

Monster tumor: Unpredictable, grows both teeth and hair

Meaning 'monster' in Greek (teras-), teratomas (also known as teratomas) are derived from germ cells - precursors are stem cells capable of developing into tissues of different parts of the human body (teeth, muscles, hair or nervous system).

Depending on the age, the nature of the tumor and the location will appear differently for each individual.

In the 60s of the last century, embryologist Barry Pierece discovered that neoplasm is actually made up of only one germ cell, constantly reproducing to become a unified body with many different types of tissue. . This is the feature that makes this tumor inside produce so many strange organs.

Simulated teratomas - can grow in any part.

According to the survey, the tumor usually develops in the ovaries at the rate of 10 to 20%. Men are more rarely found, mainly in the testes, where the germ cells are specialized.

Usually not so dangerous as it looks, it even helps to make a new step in medicine

The good news is that most teratomas are usually benign , the treatment is usually surgery to remove the biopsy and biopsy to determine tumor properties.

Moreover, finding the evolution of the pluripotent nature of germ cells from an anomaly analysis helped scientists grow stem cells in the 1980s. This is the key to being able to multiply. asexual, or merely creating organs for organ transplants - resources are scarce.

Although a disease is more or less dangerous to humans, but the nebula partly helps us better understand the human body , as well as bring money to help save lives in the future.
