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.

How many diseases can stem cells cure?

Stem cells have shown promise in treating a variety of diseases, but the number of diseases they can cure is still evolving. Some conditions that stem cell therapies have shown potential for include blood disorders, certain types of cancer, spinal cord injuries, and autoimmune diseases. Research in this area is ongoing to determine the full extent of their therapeutic applications.


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 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.


How this new discovery concerning stem cells might help to treat diseases such as alzheimers disease or parkinsons diseaase?

Stem cells can be programmed to become any organ in the body. By introducing treated stem cells in to damaged areas of the brain is thought to be able to produce a regenerating effect. There are still years of research and development before it is put into practical medical use.


What two way can embryonic stem cells can cure diseases?

Embryonic stem cells can cure diseases by differentiating into specialized cell types, allowing for the regeneration of damaged tissues and organs, such as nerve cells for spinal cord injuries or insulin-producing cells for diabetes. Additionally, they can be used in research to model diseases, test drug responses, and develop targeted therapies, ultimately leading to more effective treatments.

Are stem cells good for someone who has infantile spasm syndrome?

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.
