Potency of Various Types of Stem Cells and their Transplantation
نویسنده
چکیده
Stem cells are stirring great excitement in medical research. Stem cells are characterized by their three special properties of self renewal, differentiation and unspecialized nature. The capacity to differentiate into specialized cell types and be able to give rise to any mature cell type is referred to as potency. Human stem cell research holds an enormous potential and contribute to the understanding of fundamental human biology. Stem cell therapy is an amazing modern medical advancement that goes straight to the source of the problem and treats various disorders. Stem cell therapies are playing a major role in cell transplantation biology. This review describes various types of stem cells, their potency and transplantation.

Stem cells are naïve or master cells. This means they can transform into special 200 cell types as needed by body, and each of these cells has just one function. Stem cells are found in many parts of the human body, although some sources have richer concentrations than others. Some excellent sources of stem cells, such as bone marrow, peripheral blood, cord blood, other tissue stem cells and ...

Background Endometriosis is a common, benign, oestrogen-dependent, chronic gynaecological disorder associated with pelvic pain and infertility. Some researchers have identified nerve fibers in endometriotic lesions in women with endometriosis. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have attracted interest for their possible use for both cell and gene therapies because of their capacity for self-renewal ...
متن کاملFacts about Stem Cells and Importance of Them
Stem cells are undifferentiated biological cells that can differentiate into specialized cells and can divide (through mitosis) to produce more stem cells. They are found in multicellular organisms. In mammals, there are two broad types of stem cells: embryonic stem cells, which are isolated from the inner cell mass of blastocysts, and adult stem cells, which are found in various tissues. In ad...
