What is Stem Cell Therapy (regenerative medicine) and How Does It Work?
Introduction to Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cells are special types of cells that have the strength to transform or develop into any specific cells present in the body. Umbilical stem cells get from the umbilical cord and placenta blood after the child’s birth. Umbilical cord stem cells can only be collected after birth and then saved for further use in medical treatments and applications. Stem Cells, also known as regenerative medicines, its main function is to repair and regenerate the existing tissues that are harmed or lost due to any disease or infection. When you get any injury, stem cells rush towards the affected area and start the healing and the regeneration process.
How Stem Cell Therapy Works
Stem Cell Therapy helps the patients to repair their damaged tissues. It is the safest and the best alternative treatment to surgeries and transplants which is commonly the last option left for the doctors. For example, if you are a diabetic patient then stem cells are injected through an IV procedure and if you have muscles or neuro diseases then these cells are injected through direct injection into the targeted or affected area.
Stem cells give new cells to the body as they grow, and replaced specialized cells that are harmed or lost and affected by any disease. They have two extraordinary properties that empower them to do this. They can divide again and again to deliver new cells. As they divide, they can change into different varieties of cells that build up the body. Stem cells, if they can be coordinated to separate into different cell types, offer the chance of a sustainable source of replacement cells and tissues to treat diseases including Parkinson’s, stroke, heart disease, and diabetes.
Types of Stem Cells
Embryonic stem cells are the most powerful and effective cells as they can take the place of any cells present in the body.
These are further classified as:
- Totipotent
- Pluripotent
- Multipotent
- Oligopotent
- Unipotent
