Menstrual Blood Can Provide Adult Stem Cells月經血可以提供成人幹細胞
Before you say yuck, consider this - menstrual blood contains adult stem cells that can develop into 9 different types of highly valuable cells:之前，你說yuck ，請考慮這點-月經血液中含有成人幹細胞能發展成9個不同類型的極具價值的幹細胞：
- Heart cells心臟細胞
- Lung cells肺細胞
- Nerve cells神經細胞
- Muscle cells肌肉細胞
- Cells that line the inside of blood vessels細胞線內的血管
- Pancreatic cells胰腺細胞
- Liver cells肝細胞
- Fat cells脂肪細胞
- Bone cells骨細胞
Xiaolong Meng, MD and his colleagues, in lab tests, coaxed the endometrial regenerative cells (ERCs) (stem cells in menstrual blood) into different types of cells as described above.梟龍猛， MD和他的同事們，在實驗室測試，三三兩兩子宮內膜再生細胞（ ercs ） （幹細胞在月經血） ，為不同類型的細胞，如上文所述。 Within five days, the fledgling heart cells were beating! 5天內，幼稚心臟細胞跳動！
ERCs may be a source of patient-specific stem cells for women, the researchers suggest. ercs可能是一個來源的病人特異性幹細胞為婦女，研究人員建議。 The cells “can not only be banked until future use, but can also be expanded and pre-differentiated into various tissues so that patient-specific tissues are ‘on standby’ and ready for use when needed,” Meng and colleagues published in the Journal of Translational Medicine .該細胞" ，不能只存留到日後使用，而且還可以擴大和預分化成各種組織，使病人的具體組織，是'待命' ，並準備用在需要時， "猛和他的同事發表在Journal平移醫藥 。
The study was designed and funded by Medistem Laboratories, which has filed patent applications related to endometrial regenerative cells.該研究設計並資助medistem實驗室，其中已提出專利申請有關的子宮內膜再生細胞。

Okay, so answer me this.好了，所以回答我這一點。 I am a 42 year old female that suffers from a rare auto-immune liver disease called primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC).我是一個42歲的女性表示，患有一種罕見的自身免疫性肝病所謂原發性膽汁性肝硬化（ PBC ）的。 I will need a new liver at some point.我將需要一個新的肝臟在某個時刻。 How can I go about preserving my menstrual blood now to possibly use in the future to grow a new liver for myself??我該如何去維護我的月經血，現在也可能用在今後的成長，一個新的肝臟為自己嗎？ I only have a few menstruating years left.我只是有一些menstruating年離開。
