Proliferated Cell Lines and Uses Thereof

- *Abstract
-
Recent progress by researchers at the University of South Florida has yielded a means of inducing cell lines to proliferate indefinitely while maintaining the cell type characteristics. Even terminally differentiated cells can be made to divide without suffering the effects of cellular senescence. By use of this method, cell lines can be immortalized and made useful for applications in fields such as tissue engineering, drug discovery, and biopharmaceutical reactors.As this technique can be employed on virtually any adult cell type, potential applications where it could find use include the treatment of neurological, muscular, cartilage, cardiovascular, liver, pancreatic, eyesight, and autoimmune disorders.Used to supplement progress in such advanced cellular research, this newly developed technology promises to make many currently envisioned cellular therapies a reality.
