Joy Kong discusses umbilical cord-derived stem cells placed next to tumors. She claims they shrink and disappear because the stem cells secrete TRAIL ligand, which triggers programmed cell death in cancer cells. She says this approach is potent and safer than other methods.
But if you put umbilical cord derived stem cells next to this tumor, guess what? The tumor shrink and disappear. Wow. Damn, that's interesting. They have the extra intelligence that's still intact, is able to recognize, uh oh, you are not supposed to be there. You don't belong, you're. You are pathological. So what it does, at least one of the mechanisms is secreting what's called trail ligand. So. So this particular ligand actually cause apoptosis of the cancer cells cell death, Is that what that is? Okay, program cell death. It tells the tumor cells, you know what, get on this path and die. So they still have that intelligence. That's why it's safer. In that sense, there's less potential to actually exacerbate your own tumor or cancer. Wow. So that not only is more effective, is more potent, but it's also safer.
