What else can I help you with?
What organs have been treated using blood from the umbilical cord?
umbilical cord cell are stem cells that can be used to make other organs the cells are hematopic stem cells
For in the use of embryonic stem cells?
Embryonic stem cells are used to treat a variety of diseases. Stem cells also help organs and tissues repair themselves.
What do you need stem cells for?
Stem cells are needed because they become specialized cells within the body, helping organs regenerate and heal.
Do stem cells cure a cancerous growth?
No. But if you kill or remove the cancer, the tissues/organs that were removed can be replaced or regenerated with stem cells.
Why can stem cells help grow a new trachea?
Stem cells are unspecialised we can develop them into any cell which can be used to create new organs and/or tissue
What are two organs that are difficult repair using stem cells?
Currently only stem cells for diseases of the blood are available. Others are in testing mode.
Can you take and adults stem cells and replace them in the lungs or any other organs?
no
Where are stem cells kept in the body?
Bone marrow. These contain undifferentiated cells. Also, in pregnant women, there are stem cells in the umbilical cord blood. Foetuses also contain stem cells in their organs as they are not fully developed.
What two organs are easy to repair using stem cells?
The skin and cornea are two organs that are relatively easier to repair using stem cells. Stem cells can differentiate into the various cell types needed for skin and corneal repair, making them promising candidates for regenerative medicine in these areas.
What is the function of stromal cells?
Stromal cells provide structural support to tissues and organs, regulate cell behavior, and help maintain the microenvironment where cells interact. They also play a critical role in wound healing, immune response, and maintaining tissue homeostasis.
Why are scientists researching stem cells?
Stem cells would be crucial in learning how to cure some genetic diseases and growing organs for people who need organ transplants.
What is embryonic stem?
Stem cells are special cells in the body which can transform into any other kind of cell. Embryonic stem cells are the stem cells which develop soon after an egg becomes fertilized with a sperm (which is what makes it an embryo). There are also adult stem cells, which are present inside grown humans. Stem cells have been used to grow artificial tissues and organs and may someday be a better alternative to getting transplants.
