Scientists from the United Kingdom said that the fluid surrounding a baby during pregnancy can reinvigorate the bones that have become weaker with time. It was also suggested that this pregnancy fluid helps fight diseases in babies.
It was published in the Scientific Reports that the fractures were reduced by 80 percent through the cells present in the watery substance. The experimentation on this for the people has been planned to be done in the coming year.
The fluid in which the embryo is stringed is paramount for the growth of the baby. This fluid provides safety to the baby. Due to the presence of stem cells, the so-called "pregnancy fluid" has become so essential as they are needed for the building of other tissues.
According to BBC News, stem cells were experimented upon. The amniotic cells were taken instantly before the birth. The Institute of Child Health carried out experiments on mice who were suffering from weak bones. Cells were injected into mice to observe the effect of the disease.
When the cells were injected into mice, the results showed that the mice now had healthy bones. The above research was conducted at UCLA and was led by Dr. Pascale Guillot. During her interview, she shared that this discovery was very exciting for her as it might prove to be extremely beneficial in the arena of medicine later on.
She also said that people do everything they could to look less aged appearance wise, but now their skeleton will be going through the same as their skin. Cells called osteoclasts were continuously shattering the old bones and were making new and stronger ones. The experimentation has been planned, however, what the doctors and researchers are trying to find out is what type of chemicals are being made by the stem cells which are proving to be so beneficial.
