About, Mayana Zatzla , molecular biologist of theNational Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), informed that themother cells mesenchymal are key to the treatment of variousdiseases, and they can be extracted from the dental pulp of children, Fallopian tube , the umbilical cord or fat deposits .

The biologist pointed out the need to determine the characteristics of each, according to its source of extraction, to know its potential to treat human diseases, which will determine the path that medicine will follow in the immediate future.
