Great. As long as it doesn’t involve we having to touch it in any way...

Where is the menstrual blood bank of Ajit Kumar? Has he started taking deposits of menstrual blood? Is he paying for it?

It makes sense.. donating and banking it may be a bit difficult, but very interesting. Surely there will be many opposed to this source of valuable stem cells as well.

Tampax as a collections front for government-funded stem cell research? Damn. Never saw that

Great news Bharat! Menstrual blood can make lives? That’s a wonderful reserch. Even as girls, we often hate to deal with it, but it’s surprising to read that it contains such great qualities- it can develop into any of nine different types of cells, including heart, lung, nerve and muscle. That can be an important exploration for the lifescience.

The ancient writer Hippocrates considered that menstruation was intended to cleanse the body of ”evil humors”, and modern evolutionary biologist Margie Profet contends that the primary function of menstruation is to remove sperm-borne pathogens from the uterus. In support of this hypothesis, she has pointed to the relatively high levels of macrophages in menstrual blood.

This new research that classifies them as a super “repair kit” for the body because they can be used to grow new fat, cartilage, bone, skin, heart and brain cells is amazing! It’s such a shame that I didn’t know about the menstrual stem cell banking facility in India.

Previously researchers said that these stem cells could be coaxed into forming specialized heart cells, which might one-day be used to treat failing or damaged hearts. Also the stem cells derived from human menstrual blood have, in mice, prevented limbs with restricted blood flow from withering. It is brilliant that this system can now cure a woman’s genetic family, such as parents, sibling or child.
