Scientists Turn Skin Cells Into Beating Heart Muscle
An anonymous reader writes "By taking skin cells and turning them into stem cells, a technique that is already well known, researchers at Technion Israel Institute of Technology were able to generate beating heart cells — a medical first. 'We have shown that it's possible to take skin cells from an elderly patient with advanced heart failure and end up with his own beating cells in a laboratory dish that are healthy and young — the equivalent to the stage of his heart cells when he was just born,' Lior Gepstein, study author and professor of medicine said."
The time has come again to address world ignorance, the shadow government, and clandestine operations of the deceitful people who currently think they rule the planet. Caucasians are not fully or normally developed human beings but are only the inbred mutant albinos of their genetic masters—Black Africans. Do you know the real reason white people perform laboratory experiments on white lab rats is because those white lab rats share the same genetic code as they share? They share two common factors—the albino, and the inbreeding factor. Those white rats are bred for their albinism and are deliberately inbred to mimic the genealogy of so-called “Caucasians.” White people perform experiments on white rats to see how experiments potentially go over in the human Caucasoid population. If they want to know how something will impact the normal population, the benchmark used is a normally colored rat. In the human world, if they want to know how something will impact the normal human population, their benchmark is a black human being. Black humans contain the only fully developed genes and genealogy is the benchmark for normalcy. Inbreeding has caused the gene pool of white people to become severely depleted, and whites have far less genetic diversity than their black genetic masters.
White people are far more prone to various genetic defects, malfunctions and disorders. Ever notice why white people have far more tolerance for milk the most lactose tolerant? Since white people reflect sunlight with white skin, they do not synthesize vitamin D like normal people, and this automatically decreases calcium levels in the blood. To compensate, they have to have calcium depleted from their bones, leaving their bones porous and weak and leaving whites susceptible to osteoporosis. Their bodies always need calcium because it is always robbed from their bodies. Normal people, after reaching a certain age, no longer need milk and should be waned off of it. In the wild, when was the last time you saw a full grown animal still suckling its mother? Actually, black people should not drink milk. They can get all of the Vitamin D they need from sunshine. Caucasians need supplements to help them make up for the Vitamin D deficiency. This is why most people who are lactose intolerant are black people and why white people are not only the most lactose tolerant, but needy. In the supermarket, notice how many products have calcium added in them from orange juice and other fruit juices to breakfast cereal? All that extra calcium fortification is to aid whites in their inability to maintain healthy vitamin D levels in their bodies because of the genetic defect. This is the governments way of “leveling the playing field” if you will.
Why is there so much secrecy at various military bases and archaeological digs? This is really where the shadow government arrives. White people are hiding the fact that today’s technology is nothing more than recycled ancient technology from civilizations long ago. The secret aircraft they are manufacturing at area 51 out in the western United States are only reversed engineered aircraft from ancient aircraft excavated from archaeological digs. The shadow government is rediscovering and recycling this technology and taking credit for it as though they are the originators, when in fact they are not. It is all a part of the white “supremacy” proliferation at the expense of their genetic masters Black Africans. The way the system works is as follows: Various archaeologists, Egyptologists etc. are dispatched to various archaeological digs to excavate ultra classified ancient artifacts or anomalies that must remain hidden and unknown to the vast majority of the world. These artifacts and anomalies are sent to various laboratories and universities who are given government funding to “figure out how these things work and recreate or reverse engineer them” in a way that implies that so called modern white men are the originators and pro
Hurry up already. I want to see easily replaceable hearts in MY life time...also ever other organ.
IN fact, just full body clone replacements and transplant my head.

That next week they'll announce the ability to regenerate an entire body from skin cells in 10 to 20 years, depending on funding of course.
Lots and lots of funding -- preferably in the form of grants and endowments.
By taking skin cells and turning them into stem cells as the precursor to other cell lines that match the patients genetic makeup. are you increasing the chances of cancer?
In my certainly uninformed view, skin cells are exposed to more radiation, thus more likely to have replication errors in their DNA, then adding the stress of modifying the cell to another form, I wonder what that does to it from a replication standpoint. It is nice to have fresh heat muscle I am sure, but to suddenly find yourself with melanoma in the heart would be a bummer.
Silence is a state of mime.
every advancement in medicine, and health is another step towards immortality.
Only problem is, you can replace everything in the body except the brain.
generations from now people will be living over 200 years of age, I can see new problems arising.
Over population is a problem and the average lifespan is under 70.
I see a future of hybrid human technology species
We need a republican hero to block this effort!

Dear Slashdot: next time you want to mess with the site, add a rich-text editor for comments.
Since Israelis do not have hearts, they are trying to manufacture one. Hopefully they will become human beings one day soon..
But because of the incident with the Teal group, nobody in their right mind will believe you, you pathetic fraud. Eat your popcorne and shut up! BAH
UNITE with the Campaign for a Free Internet because today, our future begins with tomorrow!
The Tin Woodman rejoices
That's really impressive, but is it medically useful in the instance they mention in the summary? If you have advanced heart failure, aren't you in danger of your heart just topping REAL SOON NOW? Can they use the stem cells to repair your heart before you die? It would be more credible to treat people who have had a heart attack and some damage but aren't yet in advanced heart failure.
I'd like not to have to wear a hat to keep my scalp from being sunburned.

Pics or it didn't happen
Now image, a mad scientist with a skin cells changing blaster hiding in the dark corner, waiting to change all your skin into little beating hearts. Aaaaarrrgh!!!
With abbreviation like that, i bet i know which tissue they will be working on next...
Actually, this is in part a question. Although I could probably read TFA to find out (maybe it answers this) but one issue with rejuvenation is rewinding the telomeres (so to speak) so they aren't too long (cancer) and aren't too short (premature cell death). There are a lot of clocks in cells and tissue, and my general question is: Does skin -> stem -> tissue cell reset them all so that the new tissue really is "like that of a newborn" or whatever with the original DNA complement?
Not good to be able to build the heart of a Chicken Little (props for ref:-) that simply up and dies on you, or gets cancer, for other reasons.

Even when the experts all agree, they may well be mistaken. --- Bertrand Russell.
I just want the left side of my body replaced with technology. Then I would finally be "All Right".
I only look human.
My mother is a halfling and my dad is an ogre, so that makes me an Ogreling
Would they still need big trucks then? You know, to compensate.

Cancer is actually a concern with any stem-like cells, because they all have telomerase activity, and frequently have active myc or other proto-oncogenes that allow cells to divide indefinitely. (these authors only used Oct, Sox and Klf - most groups also use the oncogene myc to reprogram cells for that exact reason)
However, its actually really hard to get cancer: if you inject one cancer cell into the body (or even up to a few million) you will probably still not get a tumor. Likewise, when you go from stem back to heart cell, the cells slow down their division rate and generally stop acting cancer-like.
Your concern that skin cells from aged patients may be abnormal genetically to start is a minor concern, and can be checked
Could the same method be applied to the Pancreas?
