Stem Cell Therapy Treatment

WHAT ARE STEM CELLS?

Stem cells are biological cells that have two unique characteristics. Firstly, they can self-renew; that can divide through mitosis to produce same kind stem cells. Secondly they can differentiate into diverse specialized cell that carries specific functions like as brain, skin, muscles.

There are two types of stem cells:

1. Embryonic stem cells, which are isolated from the inner cell mass (ICM or embryoblast) of blastocysts (earlier stage of development) and

2. Adult stem cells (somatic cells), which are found in various tissues in our bodies.

Embryonic stem cells (Pluripotent stem cells) found in blastocyst (as ICM, inner cell mass). These stem cells can give rise to any tissues like as brain, skin, bone and heart excluding placenta.

What are the sources of adult stem cells in humans?

There are three birthplaces of autologous adult stem cells in human being:

* Bone marrow, which needs extraction by drilling into bone (femur or iliac crest)

* Adipose tissue (Lipid cells) needs extraction by liposuction

* Blood, which needs extraction through pheresis ( a medical technology, the blood of donor is passed through as machine that separates stem cells and remaining blood returns to donor: thus called extracorporeal therapy).

What is a stem cells therapy?

In stem cells therapy, we introduce new adult stem cells into damaged tissue to treat diseases and injuries. During stem-cell therapy, stem cells are either injected into blood stream of patient or transplanted into damaged tissues directly to repair damaged
