Clinical Research In Cell & Stem Cell

Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have the remarkable ability to develop into various specialized cell types in the body. They are characterized by their ability to self-renew (make copies of themselves) and differentiate into more specialized cells with specific functions

There are two main types of stem cells:

Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs): These stem cells are derived from embryos that are typically a few days old. ESCs have the potential to give rise to any cell type in the body, making them pluripotent. They are often used in research and therapeutic applications.

Adult Stem Cells: These stem cells are found in various tissues and organs throughout the body, such as the bone marrow, blood, brain, skin, and liver. Adult stem cells are more limited in their potential, typically being able to differentiate into cell types related to their tissue of origin. For example, hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow can give rise to different blood cells

Stem cells have garnered significant attention and research interest due to their potential applications in regenerative medicine, where they could be used to replace or repair damaged tissues and organs. This holds promise for treating a wide range of conditions and diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders, heart disease, diabetes, and spinal cord injuries
