Stem Cell and Cell Therapy

Stem cell treatments, also known as regenerative medicine, promote the repair response of diseased, defective, or injured tissue using stem cells or their derivatives. In organ transplant and uses cells instead of donor organs, which are limited in supply? A stem cell line is a group of cells that all plunge from a single original stem cell and are grown in a lab. Cells in a stem cell line keep growing but don't differentiate into specialized cells. Generally, they remain free of genetic defects and continue to create more stem cells. Groups of cells can be taken from a stem cell line and preserved for storage or shared with other researchers. Some researchers have already shown that adult bone marrow cells guided to become heart-like cells can repair heart tissue in people, and more research is continuing. The cells of a stem cell line continue to proliferate without dividing into other cell types.
