Dow Jones Industrial Index Hanging Man Candlestick Pattern Confirmation



With the down bar candlestick formation after the hanging man candlestick chart pattern more downslide is expected. The mid Bolinger Band support at 12531 will be the support that traders will be monitoring for possible rebounce. In case of unexpected upward movement the immediate resistance is at the black downtrend resistance line followed by the recent peak at 12894 .

Cosco 15 mins chart Uptrend Support Line


Uptrend bold blue line is the immediate support followed by $3.43 to $3.40 support band. Immediate resistance is $3.54 t0 $3.53 resistance band followed by $3.62 resistance level. Clearing $3.62 will propel price towards next resistance at $3.70 . Monitor 50 EMA support line. Set trailing stops to lock in profits.

Key stem cell research events

  • 1960s - Joseph Altman and Gopal Das present scientific evidence of adult neurogenesis, ongoing stem cell activity in the brain; their reports contradict Cajal's "no new neurons" dogma and are largely ignored.

  • 1963 - McCulloch and Till illustrate the presence of self-renewing cells in mouse bone marrow.




  • 1992 - Neural stem cells are cultured in vitro as neurospheres.

  • 1997 - Leukemia is shown to originate from a haematopoietic stem cell, the first direct evidence for cancer stem cells.



  • 2001 - Scientists at Advanced Cell Technology clone first early (four- to six-cell stage) human embryos for the purpose of generating embryonic stem cells.[30]

  • 2003 - Dr. Songtao Shi of NIH discovers new source of adult stem cells in children's primary teeth.[31]


  • 2005 - Researchers at Kingston University in England claim to have discovered a third category of stem cell, dubbed cord-blood-derived embryonic-like stem cells (CBEs), derived from umbilical cord blood. The group claims these cells are able to differentiate into more types of tissue than adult stem cells.


  • October 2006 - Scientists in England create the first ever artificial liver cells using umbilical cord blood stem cells.[32][33]


  • June 2007 - Research reported by three different groups shows that normal skin cells can be reprogrammed to an embryonic state in mice.[35] In the same month, scientist Shoukhrat Mitalipov reports the first successful creation of a primate stem cell line through somatic cell nuclear transfer[36]



  • January 2008 - Human embryonic stem cell lines were generated without destruction of the embryo[38]


  • February 2008 - Generation of Pluripotent Stem Cells from Adult Mouse Liver and Stomach: these iPS cells seem to be more similar to embryonic stem cells than the previous developed iPS cells and not tumorigenic, moreover genes that are required for iPS cells do not need to be inserted into specific sites, which encourages the development of non-viral reprogramming techniques

What is known about adult stem cell differentiation?

Graphic depicting steps in hematopoietic and stromal stem cell differentiation


Hematopoietic and stromal stem cell differentiation

As indicated above, scientists have reported that adult stem cells occur in many tissues and that they enter normal differentiation pathways to form the specialized cell types of the tissue in which they reside. Adult stem cells may also exhibit the ability to form specialized cell types of other tissues, which is known as transdifferentiation or plasticity.

Normal differentiation pathways of adult stem cells. In a living animal, adult stem cells can divide for a long period and can give rise to mature cell types that have characteristic shapes and specialized structures and functions of a particular tissue. The following are examples of differentiation pathways of adult stem cells (Figure 2).

  • Hematopoietic stem cells give rise to all the types of blood cells: red blood cells, B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes, natural killer cells, neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, monocytes, macrophages, and platelets.
  • Bone marrow stromal cells (mesenchymal stem cells) give rise to a variety of cell types: bone cells (osteocytes), cartilage cells (chondrocytes), fat cells (adipocytes), and other kinds of connective tissue cells such as those in tendons.
  • neural stem cells in the brain give rise to its three major cell types: nerve cells (neurons) and two categories of non-neuronal cells—astrocytes and oligodendrocytes.
  • Epithelial stem cells in the lining of the digestive tract occur in deep crypts and give rise to several cell types: absorptive cells, goblet cells, Paneth cells, and enteroendocrine cells.
  • Skin stem cells occur in the basal layer of the epidermis and at the base of hair follicles. The epidermal stem cells give rise to keratinocytes, which migrate to the surface of the skin and form a protective layer. The follicular stem cells can give rise to both the hair follicle and to the epidermis.

Adult stem cell plasticity and transdifferentiation. A number of experiments have suggested that certain adult stem cell types are pluripotent. This ability to differentiate into multiple cell types is called plasticity or transdifferentiation. The following list offers examples of adult stem cell plasticity that have been reported during the past few years.

  • Hematopoietic stem cells may differentiate into: three major types of brain cells (neurons, oligodendrocytes, and astrocytes); skeletal muscle cells; cardiac muscle cells; and liver cells.
  • Bone marrow stromal cells may differentiate into: cardiac muscle cells and skeletal muscle cells.
  • Brain stem cells may differentiate into: blood cells and skeletal muscle cells.
Current research is aimed at determining the mechanisms that underlie adult stem cell plasticity. If such mechanisms can be identified and controlled, existing stem cells from a healthy tissue might be induced to repopulate and repair a diseased tissue
