Natural Breast Enhancement?

Bigger is nice, but last thing anyone wants is some bitch with a beer gut undergoing this procedure and ending up with tits down to her ankles.

The only problem with that is it only lasts a few months before all hell is brought home.
 
Wow introducing rapidly dividing undifferentiated cells into the breast region. nothing can possibly go wrong with that. (i'm thinking cancer specifically)
 
great news everybody! ive developed a cream that does this very same thing!

all i have to do is apply it with the shaft and head of my penis to the desired area.

I would have thought there are better uses for stem cells, such as cystic fibrosis. Growing lung > growing boobs

CF is interesting because it's not really degeneration of lung tissue that's the issue. It's a genetic dysfunction in chloride channels that prevents the thinning out of mucous causing it to trap pathogens in the lungs, which then leads to inflammatory fibrosis. Stem cells aren't going to "grow lung" for these patients. You would need a targeted genetic therapy, which might be accomplished by seeding genetically modified stem cells.

Some good stem cell therapies are Parkinson's and spinal cord injury.

All I know about CF I learned from the Asian Soaps! 😛 I was just trying to illustrate a better use of stem cells. Spinal cord repair does sound like a good candidate. Maybe optic nerve regeneration too?

It's a good thought but actually stem cell therapy for spinal cord injury is probably not what you're thinking. Spinal cord injuries don't usually sever the cord. They do compress the cord and cause demyelination and some neuronal cell death. Many (most?) quadriplegics can actually use their arms, for example. The target of stem cell therapy is actually the oligodendrocytes which myelinate CNS axons.

Err, way above soap level medical knowledge. My understanding is on the really shallow end. I am thinking along the lines of programming stem cells into nerve cells and have it re-route the signal path. Key issue is signal path interruption nes pas?

Err sorry bout that. Growing nerves is a really complicated thing, especially outside the brain. Nerve cells don't regenerate*. What I'm saying is that nerve axons (the long process that conducts the signal from one cell to another) are coated with myelin**. Think of it like insulation on a wire. When you have spinal cord injury, one of the big problems is that myelin degenerates. No insulation on the wire = no conduction***. The cells that produce myelin in the spinal cord are called oligodendrocytes. Stem cell therapies for spinal cord injury turn into oligodendrocytes. They reinsulate the wires so they can conduct again.


*This is a false statement, but it's practically correct for this example.
**Not all nerves are coated with myelin.
***Wires conduct just fine w/o insulation. Nerves don't fare very well.
