Skin Cells Converted to Stem Cells
"Scientists for the first time have turned ordinary skin cells into what appear to be embryonic stem cells -- without having to use human eggs or make new human embryos in the process...
Since the new stem cells in this technique are essentially rejuvenated versions of a person's own skin cells, the DNA in those new stem cells matches the DNA of the person who provided the skin cells. In theory at least, that means that any tissues grown from those newly minted stem cells could be transplanted into the person to treat a disease without much risk that they would be rejected, because they would constitute an exact genetic match."
Now here's something to ponder. What if there was a way to increase natural stem cell activity/production with nutritional/food components. I'm not talking about a stimulant or drug. I'm talking about natural physiological functions/processes supported by nutrition. It sounds too easy doesn't it? The answers usually are. Hmmmm... ;)~

EuroSciCon to hold Glycomics meeting
EuroSciCon announce that they will be holding the forthcoming meeting 'Glycomics: Challenges and Technology' on November 28th at Imperial College London. This one day meeting features some excellent international speakers and will appeal to anyone working in the rapidly growing field of glycomics.
''Glycomics encompasses the rapidly developing field of large-scale analysis of the "glycome" - the entire complement of complex sugar structures expressed in cells, tissues or whole organisms. Glycans have incredible structural and functional diversity and are critical players in a huge variety of biological processes, many of which have fundamental roles in disease processes."

Revolutionary Advancement in Vitamin, Mineral and Phytochemical Supplementation
The leading company in glyconutrients announced its plans to introduce PhytoMatrix, the nutrition industry's first supplement containing fully standardized and completely plant-based vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals.
PhytoMatrix will not contain any synthetic or chemically derived active ingredients. Instead, it will contain vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals that have been absorbed by a plant's roots and stored in its tissue. When harvested, these plants provide all-natural ingredients.
An article in the Vol. 71, 2000, edition of peer-reviewed Journal of Food Chemistry stated that plant-based minerals are much more easily absorbed by the body. The article referenced a study showing the body was able to use less than 10 percent of the synthetic minerals contained in the most popular brands of multivitamins. By contrast, the body was able to assimilate between 80 percent to 100 percent of the minerals derived from plants.
In fact, a daily serving of PhytoMatrix will provide the same amount of minerals typically found in several pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables. The body uses minerals for many important functions, including the activation of enzymes, hormones and other molecules needed to sustain life.
In addition to plant-sourced minerals, PhytoMatrix will contain plant- sourced vitamins. When derived from the plant matrix, vitamins come with the beneficial fibers, sugars and organic acids that reside in natural matrices -- providing the body with maximum benefit and functionality.

Exclusive Arrangement to Purchase Plant Extract Recognized for Its Health Benefits
The Glyconutritional leading company has announced it has entered into an exclusive arrangement with Swiss-based Lonza to purchase and market worldwide a beneficial dietary fiber harvested from the American larch tree.
The agreement stipulates that the Glyconutritional leading company will be the only company allowed to purchase the fiber, arabinogalactan, from Lonza when it is to be used in nutritional supplements containing any two of the following ingredients: naturally derived gums and resins, aloe extract, algal extract or glucosamine.
Currently Lonza is only firm harvesting the soluble and odorless fiber, arabinogalactan, from the American larch. Known as one of the fastest-growing trees in North America, the larch was a staple among early Native Americans, who used the tree's resin, leaves and bark for medicinal food and cosmetic applications. Arabinogalactan, which is the most abundant ingredient in the formulated "blend" of Glyconutrients, contains dietary sugars shown to benefit the immune system.
"Because arabinogalactan derived from the American larch exists in much higher concentrations than the protein-bound arabinogalactan found in minimal quantities in many other plants, it can be extracted from the cell lumen in its natural state by soaking the wood chips in water. Unlike other processes that use chemicals to extract arabinogalactan from plants, Lonza uses a patented process that utilizes only steam and water. "
"Literature and historical archives note that Native Americans benefited from using portions of the American larch to improve health. Some tribes concocted tea from the tree's bark for use as a laxative, tonic and diuretic. Others used the bark and resin to wash wounds, to bathe children to make them strong or as an infusion for colds and tuberculosis. The Thompson Indians mixed the tree's resin with fat to treat sores, cuts and burns. Lewis and Clark noted the larch tree in their journals during their 1804-06 expedition of the Western United States."
Medical research acknowledges that eight glyconutrient sugars are needed at the cellular level for optimum immune system function. Considering that six of these glyconutrients are often lacking in modern diets, the Glyconutritional leading company sought new and better sources of the nutrients. The effort culminated in 1996 with the Glyconutritional blend.
Ten years of research, including in vitro studies, animal studies, human case reports and small human clinical studies suggest the Glyconutritional blend provides a wide range of support for immune system functions. More than 20 patents worldwide -- including one from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office -- have been issued for technology related to the Glyconutritional formulation.
