The pluripotent cells were created by using a retrovirus to inject certain genes into the cells' DNA. Unfortunately, this could cause mutations as the injected DNA gets incorporated into the cells' chromosomes. Those mutations could cause the cells to grow uncontrollably, potentially leading to the formation of a tumor. An earlier study where this technique was used with mouse cells resulted in tumors in about 20% of the mice derived from the mouse pluripotent cells. Needless to say, a treatment that will cure a spinal injury while causing the patient to develop cancer isn't going to fly with the FDA. Therefore there are hurdles to get over ,scientists need to find a way to control or prevent mutations. I will keep watching the test results to see if PSTI has the golden egg . I am on a fence and will process all data and will become the biggest bull on this stock if they indeed have what science is looking for. CYTX GERN ACTC OSIR STEM are the others i have been studying.
