The team's approach relied on methods developed in the past decade or so to study «
functional connectivity» in the
adult human brain — essentially using fMRI to determine which brain regions have synchronized activity when the subject is not engaged in any particular task.
«Our results demonstrate for the first time that
human adult skin cells can be used to efficiently and rapidly generate
functional pancreatic cells that behave similar to
human beta cells,» says Matthias Hebrok, PhD, director of the Diabetes Center at UCSF and a co-senior author on the study.
The experiment shows that precursor cells can develop into
functional organs when placed within the body of an
adult mammal, says Takebe, who hopes to use the technique to grow organs in nonhuman primates and eventually in
humans.
During
functional analysis, some of the responses known to occur in the natural
adult human heart were also elicited in hECTs through electrical and pharmacological interventions, while some paradoxical responses of hECTs more closely mimicked the immature or newborn
human heart.
The skin was changed directly into what appears to be
functional adult human blood cells.
The Cancer, Ageing and Somatic Mutation Programme encompasses three Projects that respectively cover the genomics of
human cancers;
functional analysis of the cancer genome using a range of in vitro and in vivo model systems; and the characterisation of somatic mutations in development and

functional neurons from
adult human fibroblasts
The significant difference in outcome achieved by transplantation of hGDAsBMP versus hGDAsCNTF demonstrates clearly that not all astrocytes are equivalent in respect to their therapeutic value, and this appears to be the first study demonstrating
functional differences between different
human astrocyte populations with respect to repairing the
adult central nervous system.
Babies do produce
functional enzymes (pepsin and proteolytic enzymes) and digestive juices (hydrochloric acid in the stomach) that work on proteins and fats.12 This makes perfect sense since the milk from a healthy mother has 50 - 60 percent of its energy as fat, which is critical for growth, energy and development.13 In addition, the cholesterol in
human milk supplies an infant with close to six times the amount most
adults consume from food.13 In some cultures, a new mother is encouraged to eat six to ten eggs a day and almost ten ounces of chicken and pork for at least a month after birth.
