Anti Aging and Stem Cells - Dr Ken Romeo - Reno Nevada

OPINION: Dr Ken Romeo  775-870-6942

Stem cells are the most commonly used cell culture base in biomedical research and tissue engineering. Their proteins have also been proven to play an important role in tissue healing.

Scientists recently studied fat stem cells and placental stem cells and examined their characteristics. The proteins from both types the stem cells were also analyzed.

The antiaging effect of the stem cells were evaluated by the results of facial skin application and the results are encouraging for the anti aging field.

Adipose stem cells and placental stem cells were found to be very similar in terms of their surface markers and produced somewhat different effects.

Adipose stem cells were worked better on cell adhesion, migration, wound healing, and tissue remodeling, while placental stem cells worked better at the development of new blood cells, increasing cell count, cell survival, modifying immune response, and collagen degrading.

These findings could be extremely important to the facial index and the improvement of skin pigment after injection. Using adipose stem cells was much more significant then placental stem cells in their effect on the face.

What does this all mean? Stem cells are an ideal substance for regeneration, especially in the anti aging field and anti aging treatments.

Boosting Stem Cells and Saving DNA Naturally - Anti Aging - Reno Nevada - Dr Ken Romeo

Our bodies have evolved at the subcellular level to not only sense but fight DNA damage. What's more, our bodies respond in such a way as to repair DNA damage and/or kill the compromised cell if it is damaged too extensively - this process is accomplished through microRNAs.

MicroRNAs play a critical role in the bodies response to DNA damage and the good news is that science is now able to analyze microRNA pathways.

But what, if anything, can we do to help the microRNAs perform their life saving tasks?

Dietary intervention is a potential solution. Foods that contain epigallocatechin-3-gallate like green tea, apple skin, plums, onions, hazelnuts and pecans could help. Also curcumin and resveratrol contain properties that can boost microRNA levels.

The problem is that when food or tea are taken orally in normal amounts the bioavailability of epigallocatechin-3-gallate is small. A person would have to drink between 8-16 cups of green tea daily to have any effect. Drinking this amount of green tea could cause mild side effects such as nausea or heartburn.

For what it's worth, epigallocatechin-3-gallate blood levels peak in approximately 1.7 hours and are then excreted in the urine over a period of 3-15 hours.

The best bet to help microRNAs do their job is probably nutraceutical supplementation with green tea extract, curcumin and/or resveratrol. Also, some specific fatty acids affect microRNA.

Specific pathways, such as fatty acids biosynthesis/metabolism, extracellular matrix-receptor interaction and signaling regulating the pluripotency of stem cells (an immature stem cell capable of giving rise to several different types of cells), appear to be targeted by most microRNAs.

Since DNA damage and DNA repair are strongly related to aging, anti-aging and carcinogenesis, supplementation with nutraceuticals and foods that feed microRNA may be a necessary component to a solid anti-aging and chemopreventive program.
