Zeinab Mubarak: How do Women Benefit from Menstrual Blood?
Zeinab Mubarak, AP biology and Science teacher at Manara International School, Head of Science Department at Victory international school, Saudi Arabia, shared a post on LinkedIn.
“How do women benefit from menstrual blood?
It is thought to be a treasure.
Scientists have discovered that menstrual blood is far more biologically complex than previously thought — containing over 1,000 distinct proteins, with around 385 unique to the endometrium (uterine lining) and absent from regular blood. These unique proteins are involved in cell growth, tissue regeneration, and immune regulation, according to researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China. Because the uterine lining regenerates itself every month, menstrual blood naturally contains stem cells, cytokines, and growth factors that could play a key role in healing and repair mechanisms.
This discovery is opening new avenues in regenerative medicine — scientists are studying how menstrual blood could be used as a non-invasive source of stem cells for therapies aimed at repairing heart tissue, bone damage, or even neurodegenerative diseases.
The female body, once again, proves its extraordinary ability for renewal and self-repair — shedding, healing, and rebuilding itself every month in a perfect cycle of regeneration.”
