Like embryonic stem cells, adult stem cells can also replicate into more than one cell type, but their replication is restricted to a limited number of cell types.
These are called adult stem cells or somatic stem cells. As we age, these cells function to renew old and worn out tissue cells. They are pluripotent, which means they have the ability to develop into almost any of the various cell types of the body.Īs the embryo develops and forms a baby, stem cells are distributed throughout the body where they reside in specific pockets of each tissue, such as the bone marrow and blood.
Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are stem cells derived from human embryos. There are two major types of stem cells embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. The goal of Stem Cell therapy is to amplify the natural repair system of the patient’s body. However, with increased age sometimes the optimum amount of stem cells are not delivered to the injured area. Stem cells are present in all of us acting like a repair system for the body. Stem cells are being used in regenerative medicine to renew and repair diseased or damaged tissues, and have shown promising results in treatments of various orthopedic, cardiovascular, neuromuscular and autoimmune conditions. Stem cell therapy is a form of regenerative medicine that utilizes the body’s natural healing mechanism to treat various conditions.
