STEM CELLS

STEM CELLS

• Special human cells that can develop into many different types of cells, from muscle cells to brain cells
• Have the ability to repair the damaged cells
• Have strong healing power
• Evolve into any types of cell
• Stem cells are of the following different types:
  • Embryonic Stem Cells
  • Adult Stem Cells
  • Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
  • Mesenchymal stem cells

STEM CELL THERAPY

• Also known as regenerative medicine
• Promotes the repair response of diseased, dysfunctional or injured tissue using stem cells or their derivatives.
• Can then be implanted into a person.
• Diseases like SCID, leukaemia, Alzheimers, all happen because of certain genetic defect or modifications.
• Can replace the genetic defect in the stem cells itself which will give rise to healthy cells.
