No. But if you kill or remove the cancer, the tissues/organs that were removed can be replaced or regenerated with stem cells.
A stem cell becomes cancerous and creates the tumor or other cancer. Most of the other cancer cells either do not divide or only divide slowly. The cancerous stem cells divide and create cancer cells and other cancerous stem cells. Removing the entire cancer but leaving a few of the cancerous stem cells in the body does not cure the cancer.
They can replace cells to treat or cure diseases.
yes
Stem cells currently have no use in the medical industry but around the year 2025 scientists are hoping to be able to master the art of being able to turn stem cells to a human's own cells which could cure cancer and many other diseases.
Cancerous cells are typically characterized by uncontrolled and rapid cell division, which allows them to proliferate quickly and invade surrounding tissues. If cancerous cells underwent mitosis more slowly than normal cells, they might be less aggressive in terms of growth and spread. However, their danger could still stem from other factors, such as their ability to evade the immune system or resist treatments. Ultimately, the overall impact of cancerous cells depends on multiple factors beyond just the rate of mitosis.
Stem cells are used for fighting off deadly diseases, and stem cells can help cell growth and reproduction.
Yes, I think so.
A stem cell transplant can help cure disease because it can grow into any cells that you body needs. An example of a time when a stem cell transplant is when a man cut off the end of his finger and used pig stem cells to grow it back.
Infantile spasm syndrome is a seizure disorder that affects infants. Some unscrupulous physicians are giving stem cells to infants with the syndrome as a potential \"cure\". However, according to the National Institute of Health Stem Cell Treatment Center, research on stem cells in not advanced enough to represent a cure for this condition. Stem cells have been forced to create brain cells in the laboratory, but this research is a long way from being placed in a living human as a cure for infantile spasm syndrome.
they are proteins which control growth and reproduction of different stem cells.
Cancerous cells exhibit uncontrolled and inappropriate mitosis. Cancerous cells will often exhibit changed morphology and gene expression profiles, often assuming the shape and gene expression of more immature or more stem-like cells (a process termed de-differentiation). Cancerous cells often exhibit unusual karyotypes. Clinically, the precise identification of a cancerous cell can be difficult and will vary tissue to tissue. Another consideration is that for at least some cancers it is theorized that only a small proportion of cells within a tumor are actively cancerous. These cells are referred to as cancer stem cells. It is theorized that in some cases only a comparatively few cells are genuinely tumor-forming (i.e. uncontrollably dividing) and generating large growths of non-tumor forming cells of the visible tumor. Identifiying these actively tumor-forming cells remains a challenge in oncology.
It's confirmed stem cells from cord blood is as effective as stem cells from embryo. The cord blood can cure fatal diseases and you can read stories of success in the blog provided below.
