The
cells
looked better.
If we go down the small pathway a little bit further, we're entering the era of nanomedicine, the ability to make devices super-small, to the point where we can design red blood
cells
or microrobots that monitor our blood system or immune system, or even those that might clear out the clots from our arteries.
We learned at Stanford and other places that we can discover cancer stem cells, the ones that seem to be really responsible for disease relapse.
The cancer stem
cells
remain, and the tumor can return months or years later.
We're now learning to identify the cancer stem
cells
and identify those as targets and go for the long-term cure.
Embryonic stem
cells
are particularly powerful.
We have adult stem
cells
throughout our body; we use those in bone marrow transplantation.
Geron, last year, started the first trial using human embryonic stem
cells
to treat spinal cord injuries.
We've been using adult stem
cells
in clinical trials for about 15 years to approach a whole range of topics, particularly cardiovascular disease.
If we take our own bone marrow
cells
and treat a patient with a heart attack, we can see much improved heart function and better survival using our own bone marrow derived
cells
after a heart attack.
We can now reprogram your skin
cells
to actually act like a pluripotent embryonic stem cell and utilize those, potentially, to treat multiple organs in the same patient, making personalized stem cell lines.
I think there'll be a new era of your own stem cell banking to have in the freezer your own cardiac cells, myocytes and neural
cells
to use them in the future, should you need them.
We're integrating this now with a whole era of cellular engineering, and integrating exponential technologies for essentially 3D organ printing, replacing the ink with cells, and essentially building and reconstructing a 3D organ.
About a billion years ago, ancient plants got their photosynthesis capability by incorporating tiny, tiny plankton into their
cells.
If a single cell is programmed to do that, it's no surprise that 30 trillion
cells
have the same agenda.
Because you have to chuck out masses and masses of it, hoping that your sex cells, your male sex cells, which are held within the pollen, will somehow reach another flower just by chance.
I work with really amazing, little, itty-bitty creatures called
cells.
And let me tell you what it's like to grow these
cells
in the lab.
I work in a lab where we take
cells
out of their native environment.
We observe the
cells
in a plate, and they're just on the surface.
The
cells
are kind of homesick; the dish doesn't feel like their home.
These electrodes act like mini pacemakers to get the
cells
to contract in the lab.
Well, heart
cells
are pretty greedy.
Nature feeds the heart
cells
in your body with a very, very dense blood supply.
On the left, we see a tiny piece of beating heart tissue that I engineered from rat
cells
in the lab.
It's amazing that these
cells
beat at all.
But what's really amazing is that the cells, when we electrically stimulate them, like with a pacemaker, that they beat so much more.
But that brings me to lesson number two:
cells
do all the work.
In a sense, tissue engineers have a bit of an identity crisis here, because structural engineers build bridges and big things, computer engineers, computers, but what we are doing is actually building enabling technologies for the
cells
themselves.
Let's remind ourselves that
cells
are not an abstract concept.
