New cells discovered in Romania (telocites)

[healthvita]

"The cells were in existence but they were not been observed," said institute director Laurentiu Mircea Popescu, adding that the scientists had been working on a certain type of cells in the human body and came across these.

"At least in the case of myocardial infract the evidence so far is encouraging," the director stressed, explaining that "the importance of these cells is given by the fact that they act as the lieutenants of the stem cells and their action cannot be independent of the stem cells."

Good morning

I would like to explain the spelling error. It has nothing to do with healthvita, nor with the authors of the discovery. The website "www.telocytes.com" is active for several months now, and there are several articles published in PubMed on this topic, and others in press. All of those can be freely downloaded from "www.telocytes.com".

The spelling error belongs to Romanian News Agency (agerpres.ro), who translated from romanian "telocite" to "telocites".

Have a nice day !
