Introduction
In the last few years, scientific research has determined different types of cells throughout the body that can be fixed or cure. By knowing more about how the cells work and their substances researchers and in the future doctors can use techniques to intervene or reprograme cells to stop aging, reverse it or cure diseases.

WHAT DO RESEARCHERS THINK IS ONE CAUSE OF MEMORY IMPAIRMENT RELATED TO GROWING OLDER? WHAT DOES NEW RESEARCH SHOW THAT MAY BE ABLE TO HELP REVERSE THIS PROCESS?
One cause of memory loss that older people often experience is that they have decreased blood flow to the brain.
New research shows that the process can be reversed sometimes by staying social, exercising and managing stress, as well as exercising. Some hormones and proteins that protect

HOW MIGHT FAT CELLS BE ABLE TO HELP PEOPLE WITH SPINAL CORD INJURIES?
Scientists from Duke University are studying how to transform fat cells into neural cells. Obtaining fat cells from the same patient, transforming those cells and reinjecting those cells to help with spinal cord injuries would be a solution to avoid rejection. Also, obtaining fat cells to work and investigate is much easier than getting bone marrow cells or other types of cells. They are experimenting for now with fat cells from mice but the intention of the scientists is to use this experience for human cells in the future.

HOW ARE FROG EGGS BEING USED IN RESEARCH INVOLVING HUMAN CELLS?
Frog eggs are being used to research and obtain information about human cells. Frog eggs are being used to test how you can rejuvenate adult human cells. The scientists at Cambridge University hope they can isolate some substances from the nucleus of the frog cells and then inject those substances into a human egg. Also because biologists say these types of eggs are large and easy to manipulate, they are a good tool to find how to reprogramme the human cell.

WHAT ARE SCHWANN CELLS? HOW ARE THEY AFFECTED IN MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS?
A Schwann cell is a cell that forms a myelin sheath by wrapping its plasma membrane concentrically around the inner axon. Schwann cells help multiple sclerosis patients by surrounding neurons to protect the degeneration of nerves by blocking thrombin, a blood-clotting protein that can also damage nerves. Shwann cells help these patients in that it protects degeneration of cells that cause this disease.

WHAT ROLE DO CELLS PLAY IN PREVENTING THE STOMACH FROM DIGESTING ITSELF?
The stomach is covered in epithelial cells, these cells produce a bicarbonate solution that is alkaline and works with the mucosa, lining the stomach and protecting it. These cells protect the stomach from the acid that comes from other types of cells called parietal cells, the acid is called hydrochloric acid, and it is very strong and helps break down food. But without the epithelial cells and the bicarbonate solution the stomach would digest itself.
Conclusion
Some of the latest scientific discoveries about cells reported in the internet show that a decreased blood flow to the brain can cause memory impairment, the decreased level of some proteins and hormones affect the age of our cells and the way we remember and the protection of the brain cells.
Other researches show that fat cells help fix spinal cord injuries because you can obtain stem cells from the fat cell. Also in the investigation of the cells some studies show that you can obtain information about the human cells from frog eggs, because these eggs are larger and easy to manipulate. The immature frog eggs can rejuvenate adult human cells.
Scientists hope to separate substances responsible for aging and use them to reprogramme ordinary human adult cells, from skin to blood. More donor matches to repair damaged cells and diseases such as multiple sclerosis could be cured this way.
When I read about a Schwann cell I learned that it is a cell that forms a myelin sheath by wrapping its plasma membrane concentrically around the inner axon. Schwann cells help multiple sclerosis patients by surrounding neurons to protect the degeneration of nerves by blocking thrombin, a blood-clotting protein that can also damage nerves. Shwann cells help these patients in that it protects degeneration of cells that cause this disease.
Some cells in the stomach mucus help the stomach to prevent and block the lining of the stomach so it doesn’t get damaged by acid the stomach uses to process the food contents when we eat.
In all the articles I read I found something in common, the studying of the cells, their components and functions, as well as the scientific studying of some animal eggs and cells can help humans understand the way the human cell and human body works and applying that knowledge and scientific discoveries to human cells can help repair, rejuvenate and fix some of the effects of aging and diseases.
So the answer is Yes, all these researchs are finding different ways to cure, to reverse aging and to help by understanding the human body, the human cell and how to work with other cels and substances to intervene the cells
