Stanley Ho, the "gambling king" of Macao, died recently at the age of 98. The legend was born in a rich family. Because of his fluent English, extraordinary memory and handsome mixed-race face, he married a Macao celebrity and gradually expanded his casino career. However, in recent years, the most talked-about topic of "gambling king" is his amazing "raising method", except for his four-room wife and children fighting for power and profit.

In fact, a few years ago, Stanley Ho was paralyzed in bed all the year round because of a serious illness. Ordinary people, I'm afraid there's nothing they can do. However, the gambling king is not an ordinary person, but he has saved his breath with the sky-high medicine and technology. According to foreign media reports, his "secret weapon" to maintain his body is stem cells.

Not only the "gambling king", Schumacher, the once-popular F 1 car god, has been in a coma for 7 years since the skiing accident in 20 13. Last year, the French newspaper Le Parisien also reported that Schumacher would receive stem cell therapy, and the doctor who treated him was Philippe Menasche, a famous doctor who was described by the French media as "the pioneer of cell surgery for heart failure". It is understood that Schumacher, who is bedridden, can now sit in a wheelchair and enjoy the scenery of Lake Geneva in Switzerland at home.

In order to live longer, many rich people will choose to go abroad at high prices to obtain stem cells. It is said that many actresses in the science and technology industry are old and strong, and it is also reported that "embryonic stem cells" have been used to make young beauty last forever.

The omnipotent "stem cells" are expected to make the body grow backwards. What magical thing makes rich people flock to it? Zhang Yiwen, a "cell expert", explained that the so-called stem cells actually exist in people. "Stem cells" are undifferentiated primitive cells of human body, which can self-divide and proliferate and differentiate into a variety of cells with different specific functions. If the technology is in place, this primitive cell with the ability of "regeneration" and "differentiation" will be used to regenerate human tissues, such as specific cell types and even human organs.

Zhang Yiwen pointed out that stem cells not only have the function of cell and organ regeneration, but also have made many major breakthroughs in disease treatment in recent years. "For example, heart disease, Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injury, diabetes, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, arthritis, burns and cancer are expected to be treated by stem cells in the future. 」

She explained that in recent years, the Nobel Prize in Biomedicine has been awarded to cell therapy, so it can be seen that the future medical focus will not be on various synthetic drugs, and the new trend seems to be that "the problem of cells is solved by cells."

Stem cells show great medical potential by relying on three unique skills. Why do stem cells have such great ability? According to Zhang Yiwen's analysis, the main reason is that exosomes secreted by stem cells can repair damaged rather than dead cells. For example, stem cells are the head of the body maintenance department, and they will send out many foreign bodies like messengers. Under the command of stem cells, outsiders will teach the body to restore its regenerative ability and grow corresponding new cells.

In addition, stem cells can also improve the physical condition in two directions. First of all, stem cells themselves can not only be "maintenance supervisors", but also differentiate into specific cells to repair damaged parts. In addition, the exosomes accompanying stem cells into the body not only have the command function, but also have the repair function.

"Stem cells" show unlimited potential in treating diseases and become a prominent medical science in the future. Zhang Yiwen pointed out that the United States, Japan and even China, which came from behind, have been actively studying stem cells in recent years. "This is a very exciting event. In the next 20 years, we will have the opportunity to see stem cells bring medical care to a new level. Zhang Yiwen said optimistically.
