Stem Cell Therapy in Regenerative Medicine!
Stem Cell Therapy in Regenerative Medicine Stem cell therapy stands at the forefront of regenerative medicine, representing a paradigm shift in the treatment of diseases once deemed irreversible. It harnesses the unique ability of stem cells to self-renew and differentiate into specialized cell types, enabling the restoration, repair, or replacement of damaged tissues and organs. Stem cells are categorized into embryonic stem cells (ESCs), adult or somatic stem cells, and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Embryonic stem cells, derived from the inner cell mass of blastocysts, are pluripotent and capable of giving rise to nearly all cell types in the human body. Adult stem cells, such as hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in connective tissues, are multipotent and contribute to the maintenance and repair of specific tissues. The advent of iPSCs, generated by reprogramming adult somatic cells into a pluripotent state, has provided an...
