Stem Cells Treatment : A Potential Therapy for Diseases
Novomedinstitute.org
What are Stem Cell?
● A stem cell is a blank cell/ precursor cell that
can give rise to multiple tissue types such as skin, muscle, or nerve cell. ● A stem cell is essentially the building block of the human body. ● Stem cells are observed in the embryo, fetal and adult stage of a person’s life.
Sources of Stem Cells ● ESCs are extracted from inner cell mass of
blastocyst. ● iPSCs are derived through adult somatic cells. ● ASCs are found in cord blood, bone marrow, blood, intestine, liver, pancreas etc. Novomedinstitute.org
Kinds of Stem Cells Stem cell type
Description
Examples
Totipotent
Each cell can develop into a new individual
Cells from early (1-3 days) embryos
Pluripotent
Cells capable of giving rise to different cell types.
Some cells of blastocyst (5 to 14 days)
Multipotent
Cells differentiated, but can form a number of other tissues
Fetal tissue, cord blood, and adult stem cells

Features of Stem Cells ●
Stem Cells are very unique cells.
●
Stem Cells have the amazing ability to develop into several distinct cell types in the body.
●
Stem Cells can be used as a repair system for the body.
●
Stem Cells can theoretically divide without limit in a living organism in order to replenish various types of cells.
●
When a stem cell divides, each new cell has the potential to either remain a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more specialized function (i.e. a muscle cell, a red blood cell, a brain cell, etc.).
