Stem cells seed which structure that helps develop T cells are the thymus gland.
What are the types of stem cells?
There are five basic stem cells classifications there is embryonic stem cells, fetal stem cells. There are the Umbilical cord stem cells, placenta stem cells, and lastly there are adult stem cells.
Can you donate stem cells?
Yes, it is possible to donate stem cells. There are two main methods to donate stem cells: 1) Peripheral blood stem cell donation, which involves extraction of cells from the bloodstream, and 2) Bone marrow donation, which requires a surgical procedure to collect cells from the hipbone. You can register as a donor through various organizations and potentially be matched with a patient in need.
What is an autologous transplantation?
Autologous transplantation is a type of stem cell transplant where a patient's own stem cells are used. These stem cells are collected from the patient before they undergo intensive treatment like chemotherapy or radiation, and then reintroduced into the patient's body to help rebuild healthy cells after the treatment. This method reduces the risk of rejection and complications that can occur with donor transplants.
What ways might use of adult stem cells be better than the use of embryonic stem cells?
The adult stem cells are better than embryonic stem cells in a very few cases. One way they are better is that the adult stem cells can be transplanted back into the adult patient and grown. The body will not reject its own stem cells.

How might stem cells help when the spinal cord is damaged?

What can stems cells do?
Stem cells could also be used someday to replace or repair tissue damaged by disease or injury.

Stem cell can also be use as treatment for parkinsons disease,autism and also diabetes at Stem Cell Treatment for Diabetes in Ukraine.

Studies show that fat cells can be changed into nerve cells (by obtaining stem cells from a patient's own fat), thereby possibly helping repair spinal cord injuries.
