Watch Forever Young in Kapuso Mo Jessica Soho- August 6, 2011. Forever Young? Most of us are afraid to grow old! And a lot of people will do anything to keep themselves young. One of the newly discovered ways to help delay aging involves a process which uses gold as the primary ingredient! Another method is the Stem Cell procedure which uses natural ingredients -- like the sap of green apples from Switzerland! But how effective are these anti-aging procedures? The classical definition of a stem cell requires that it possess two properties: Self-renewal - the ability to go through numerous cycles of cell division while maintaining the undifferentiated state. Potency - the capacity to differentiate into specialized cell types. In the strictest sense, this requires stem cells to be either totipotent orpluripotent - to be able to give rise to any mature cell type, although multipotent or unipotent progenitor cells are sometimes referred to as stem cells. source: wikipedia vide
