全世界几十个医学实验室的研究人员正在把流产胎儿的细胞用于从白血病到瘫痪病的新的治疗。科学家们已经发现,取自胎儿的细胞能够治疗糖尿病,可使帕金森氏病的震颤得到减轻,能在断开的脊髓间隙里“搭桥”。迈阿密大学神经外科博士巴思·格林说:“单在神经再生领域里,胎儿细胞移植可能使几百万美国人受益,其中包括脑疾病、头部损伤、中风和瘫痪病人。”和遗传工程的高技术魅力相比,胎儿细胞的移植并不是尖端的东西。根据要治疗的疾病,把怀孕6～7个星期的不到一英寸长的流产胎儿的胰腺、脑或其他 Researchers at dozens of medical laboratories around the world are using the cells of aborted fetuses for new treatments from leukemia to paralysis. Scientists have found that fetus-derived cells can treat diabetes, relieve the tremor of Parkinson’s disease and “bridge” the broken spinal cord space. Dr. Bath Green, a neurosurgeon at the University of Miami, said: “Fetal cell transplantation alone could benefit millions of Americans in the field of neuroregeneration, including brain disease, head injury, stroke and paralysis.” And genetic engineering Compared with high-tech charm, fetal cell transplantation is not cutting-edge things. Depending on the disease to be treated, the pancreas, brain or other of a fetus less than one inch long who is pregnant for 6 to 7 weeks
