What is the aftercare of a stem cell transplantation?
GaleEncyofMedicine
Stem cells take up to three weeks to begin producing new cells or bone marrow, a process called engraftment. Until engraftment is complete, patients may bleed easily and are at risk for infections.

Which of these is the BEST source of stem cells and minimizes the risk associated with stem cell transplantation?
C) stem cells preserved from the umbilical cord of the person
What type of disease might most likely be cured by stem cell transplantation?
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.
How many diseases can stem cells cure?
Name 4 diseases that can be cured with stem cells?
Why should you preserve stem cells?
stem cells are undifferentiated cells that can differentiate in to all cell types. they are of two types: 1) Embryonic stem cells ( totipotent cells) they can differentiate in to any type of cells in our body.. 2) adult stem cells ( multipotent cells) they can be differentiated into only one type of cell from which it is derived from. They are used mostly in organ and tissue transplantation. mostly used in medicinal field to cure diseases now adays.
What you mean by stem cell culture?
The stem cell "culture" is the medium in which the stem cell is able to divide and grow.

What is stem cell transplantation linked with?
link stem cell transplantation for disease with cloning and want to stop funding for stem cell research over fear of human cloning. A study released in 2005 stated that 63% of Americans back embryonic stem cell research and 70% support federal legislation
What books would help someone learn about cell transplantation?
A great book to read when learning about cell transplantation is 'Bone Marrow and Blood Stem Cell Transplants: A Guide for Patients'. You can also read literature relating to cell transplantation on the WebMD website.

What new treatment for lymphoma patients is available?
A new treatment option for patients with lymphoma is known as "peripheral stem cell transplantation."
Is stem cell transplantation used to make a person younger?
No, human stem cell transplants are used for their multipotency (they can become any type of cell). This does not reverse the telomere lost during cell division of other cells, which is typically used to determine biological age and potential longevity. Typically, stem cell transplants are used to combat a specific deficiency in an individual, such as Leukemia.
Is stem cell research the same thing as cloning?
stem cell cloning and stem cell research are the same, they both do replication(clone) BUT the only difference lies in the purpose for which the clone would be created. Stem Cell Cloning-the clone is transferred to the body of a woman and allowed to go to term(reproduction) while Stem Cell Research is use for transplantation(therapeutic) Therapeutic' cloning is not therapeutic for the clone, who will die in the course of its cells being taken when it is 5-7 days old. Such cloning is, moreover, reproductive, since it involves the creation of an embryo, although this embryo will not survive to the point of being born.Therapeutic helps the patients to recover if she/he have a bone marrow by means of transplantation.
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.

when will there be a treatment for hair loss useing stem cells?
Even though the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine has determined the stem cells that are responsible for hair growth it is unlikely, according to experts, that any treatment would become available within the next decade. stem cell hair transplantation www.stem-cell-regeneration.com/component/content/article/25-hairgrowth
