Obesity (fatness, liposis) is situation, that natural energy backup of mammal (for example human), which is saved in fat stuff, has increased over standard value and it is dangerous for health.

This new method of changing human fat is really more effective than previous method which used cells of skin, said scientists . Advanced technology with using of human fat is 2x faster and more effective, added Joseph Wu from Stanford’s School of Medicine, main author of essay.

Discovery should help to eliminate of next debate about using of steam cells from human embryo.

Human fat is “hearty natural and recoverable resource”, said plastic surgeon Michael Longaker from Stanford University. His patients gave their fat to him for research.

Longaker’s imagine in future is in fact that doctors could be able to use fat of patients to “cultivation” of new stuffs and organs for next patients.

Reprogrammed cells (sometimes called induced pluripotent stem cells or iPS cells) are able to change into major types of cell in human body. Reprogramming of skin cells was successfully University of California earlier.

Scientists look forward to get these cells to study of next stadium of sickness and hope to use of them to “cultivation” new stuff and restitution of organs.
