Project 3:

__Mechanisms of Action__ Ecotin is a drug used to reduce pain and inflammation by inhibiting the production of the lipid compounds known as prostaglandins, found in fatty acids. Prostaglandins are the lipid compounds This drug acts inside the hypothalymus preventing the production of the prostaglandins. Ecotrin also inhibits the aggregation, clumping, of platelets in the blood stream. This function assists in the reduction of clots. @http://www.doctorslounge.com/hematology/drugs/salicylates/ecotrin.htm

Project 11A:

Dr. Florencio Lucero, a stem cell researcher, has discovered a treatment for aging using stem cells. The procedure doesn't require embryo or even the ips stemcells. The procedure uses the patient's own stem cells to repair damaged and aging tissues. By using the patient's own cells there is a lesser chance of rejection from the body. What the procedure does is it uses Platlet Rich Plasma and Laser Stem Cell Activators to reactivate the patient's stem cells. After the reactivated stem cells are then reinserted into the patient's body. The procedure has implications in diseases such as, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, however its real purpose is to make you look and feel younger. The effects of the treatment include improved energy levels, positive attitudes and moods, improved immune system functions, and improved skin vitality. @http://www.stemcellphil.com/benefits.php hiPSC stem cells allow for a faster production of stem cells, especially iPS cells. also it is safer for the cells as they will live longer and be easier to separate from other cells.
