WASHINGTON (AFP) — Primordial germinal cells, which are precursors to spermatozoids, apparently have the capacity of turning into embryonic stem cells, according to a study made public Sunday.
Embryonic stem cells can be converted into different types of cells and subsequently tissues, thus offering the hope to fight a number of diseases that have thus far remained incurable.
Researcher from the Georgetown school of medicine and a Washington-based regional transplant consortium known as WRTC have obtained these primordial germinal cells shortly after donors' deaths.
These cells knows as CGPM were separated using a process that involves enzymes.
