Bone Marrow Stem Cells

[gadionson1]

very educational.

[cellmedicine]

Stem-Kine actually has peer reviewed data...i dont know what you are trying to peddle on MY CHANNEL...maybe you can explain some more

[rolandsta1]

don't hate, but enjoy stfem cell therapy here guys and girls.

[njwright86]

go Tom ! your videos make this so simple to understand

[walkingdan]

What is the back ground of this speaker? Where does he work at?

[ameeek]

@walkingdan thats Thomas E Ichim, CEO of Medistem Inc

[crazedromanian]

@ameeek he is ROMANIAN

[skatergirl333]

@crazedromanian there is nothing crazy about being Romanian !

you know thats where insulin was discovered

[Asyma88]

I hate his strong accent...It really makes difficult to understand for not native english speakers....

[floricabatu]

this guy Tom Ichim has a weird accent, but what is it? Ichim is a Romanian name but that sure aint a Romaina accent !!!

[shoofeer1]

I guess that he is jew! they do speak that way

i'm also curious if anyone has found a way to impregnate microorganisms with stem cells in a way that they would replicate them then divide as if the stem cells were a part of the "germ". are stem cells to big? then impregnate a plant. i saw a plant one time in a science report that had been given the firefly gene for glowing and the plant glowed in the dark. all these grants and knowledge and we would rather make glow in the dark plants? something is wrong with the world.

[kingofkenyi]

i'm also curious why(if stem cells begin undifferentiated) why we can't utilize the stem cells of any of the many food animals we slaughter anyway?

[danthemizan]

because they are animals and have a different genome than humans. humans can only use human stem cells because of similiar DNA sequences

[kingofkenyi]

sorry, youre not making sense. you've watched to many sci-fi movies. undifferentiated by definition means there is no dna sequence involved. quite simply stem cells have no sequence of any kind, but rather mimic what they latch onto.

[cellmedicine]

this is the beautiful thing about this...the DNA in the stem cell is the same as the DNA in the skin of your finger !! the crazy thing is that selective peices of the DNA become translated into proteins, thats why the skin cell is different than the liver cell...different peices of DNA are made into proteins..

this is why cloning is possible, you "clear the slate" of the DNA in the skin and it can make a whole new organism from scratch....

[angelafreedman21]

great job professor

[skatergirl333]

nice explanation for the concept of "transdifferentiation" I bet Irv Weissman doesnt like this

[emirapper]

Tom you should run for office ! love your speeches

[midas61]

What a ridiculous suggestion. Someone with a medical talent should stay in medicine, not turn to politics.

[Unklebillybob]

Cell - Very nice down-to-earth presentation. I like your use of the charts and graphs.

[ameeek]

I love the fact that people thing bone marrow stem cells are embryonic ! lol

[tornadoathletics]

Great video Thomas. Keep educating brother.

Hey, I see much improvement in your delivery here,

Congratulations, before you know it you'll be in Hollywood!

[tutoalanis]

Looks good. Done well. Fix your tie.

[Erndest]

Very interesting. Good work.

[stemcellscientist]

Cord blood stem cells are more immature, however it is rar that they can be used in the autologous setting. There are pluses and minuses for each type

[angelafreedman21]

What is the difference between bone marrow and cord blood stem cells?

[skatergirl333]

good to put a face to the accent :)
