By carring on Stem Cell research scientists and doctors will have a better understanding about cell development, how to correct errors in abnormal cells and make sure any cell treatments are safe for patients. Alzheimers is a disease which destroys brain cells- so scientist and doctors can use the information they learn to treat this disease. there are different neuron cells,how do the stem cells know what they should be ?
In theory, any broken cell or damaged cell can be cured with the use of stem cells. Knew limbs can be created but they do not know a structure.
Stem cells are considered as undifferentiated cells. They will divide and divide forming more stem cells. The two main stem cell types are embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. Only the embryonic stem cells can become any type of tissue. Embryonic stem cells have the potential to become any type of cell in the body. There is news as of 2015 that perhaps blindness can be cured using these embryonic stem cells.
Yes!
No. Stem cells can reproduce and become other cells which may help fight off disease.
Their first major accomplishment was the Reestablishment of the Retinal Wall [retina].
Stem cells are called as such because they are the building blocks of an organ tissue, blood and immune system. It was then discovered a newborn's umbilical cord contains rich stem cells. A number of fatal diseases such as brain injury, diabetes, leukemia, Parkinson's disease, etc. are cured when it's used in transplant. For successful stories about cord blood transplant, visit the blog attached.
Stem cells have shown promise in treating a variety of diseases, but the number of diseases they can cure is still evolving. Some conditions that stem cell therapies have shown potential for include blood disorders, certain types of cancer, spinal cord injuries, and autoimmune diseases. Research in this area is ongoing to determine the full extent of their therapeutic applications.
Stem cells can be programmed to become any organ in the body. By introducing treated stem cells in to damaged areas of the brain is thought to be able to produce a regenerating effect. There are still years of research and development before it is put into practical medical use.
Scientists believe stem cells from human embryos could hold the key to treatments and cures for disease. Basically it is a debate about stem cell research.
Scientists use stem cells because they can generate healthy cells and replace disease ones. Plus they allow them to test and better understand disease and test new drugs for effectiveness.
Adult stem cells can be isolated from a patient, typically from bone marrow or adipose tissue. These cells are then grown and differentiated into the specific cell type needed to treat the disease. The differentiated cells are then reintroduced into the patient to repair damaged tissues or organs, offering a potential treatment for diseases like heart disease or autoimmune disorders.
