Exactly the same technique is being used to "tissue type" the embryos for a potential match.
When someone joins the register, the charity does a preliminary analysis of their DNA. If they come up as a possible match, they are contacted for a more detailed tissue type analysis that confirms if they are suitable.
It is hoped that work of this kind will eventually enable scientists to turn mature cells back into stem cells which have the ability to become any type tissue in the body.
Another type of tissue valve replacement that uses your own pulmonary valve (autograft) is sometimes possible.
That is, the cell could be "coached" into becoming any type of tissue or cell in the body.
Embryonic stem cells, found only in embryos, are the only human cells that can divide to form any other type of tissue.
This type of tissue typing has already been permitted for six families, although it is not explicitly covered by the 1990 Act.
Called pseudocysts, these noncancerous (benign) pockets of fluids are lined with scar or inflammatory tissue, not the type of cells found in true cysts.
What make better tests possible are gene databases, first developed in the early 1990s by Human Genome Sciences and Incyte Genomics, that categorize thousands of genes by the type of diseased tissue they inhabit.
In order to be useful to scientists, cells derived from embryos also must be able to divide almost endlessly and be able to turn into any type of human tissue, at least in theory.
By 1993 HGS had created a proprietary database of 100, 000 gene fragments, categorized by the type of diseased or healthy tissue in which they were found.
Another common type of massage, so-called deep tissue, tends to be more targeted to problem muscles and includes techniques such as acupressure, trigger-point work (which focuses on little knots of muscle) and "deep transverse friction" where the therapist moves back and forth over muscle fibers to break up scar tissue.
Diadexus scans the database for those few genes specific to one type of cancer, but not found in healthy tissue or other diseases.
The CDC then examined autopsy tissue from the donor and determined he had died of the same type of rabies, which is spread by raccoons, according to the CDC.
The body produces less healthy estrogen, and more estrone -- a type of estrogen that comes from your body's fat tissue.
