Stem cells have been used in various medical treatments to cure diseases and conditions such as leukemia, lymphoma, and certain genetic disorders. One notable example is bone marrow transplants, where stem cells are used to replace damaged or diseased cells in the bone marrow. Additionally, stem cell therapies have shown promise in regenerating damaged tissues and organs in conditions such as spinal cord injuries and Heart disease. Overall, stem cell therapy continues to be a rapidly evolving field with ongoing research and clinical applications.
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 can replace cells to treat or cure diseases.
yes
No. But if you kill or remove the cancer, the tissues/organs that were removed can be replaced or regenerated with stem cells.
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.
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.
The year 2010, the answer is yes. Problems abound; best success is in sight restoration.
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.
Embryonic stem cells are totipotent, meaning they have the potential to become any type of body cell because the genome hasn't been differentiated yet; however, to obtain embryonic stem cells the fetus must die.
Stem cells would be crucial in learning how to cure some genetic diseases and growing organs for people who need organ transplants.
Adult stem cells have been used and are still being used to cure many ailments as research continues. Embryonic stem cells have never been useful for anything do to issues of getting the cells to work. Adult stem cells, on the other hand, have been very useful is stem cell research.
