  1. Stem Cells Treatment : A Potential Therapy for Diseases Novomedinstitute.org

  2. 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

  5. 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.).

  6. Stem Cell Treatment Stem cell therapy involves the use of stem cells for the treatment of a disease or to overcome a chronic condition. Stem cell Therapy for various Diseases treatment • Parkinson’s disease • Multiple Sclerosis • Amyotrophic lateral Sclerosis • Diabetes • Bone defects • Osteoarthritis Novomedinstitute.org

  8. Challenges of Stem Cell Therapy • The emergence of stem cells has brought new light to the disease. • Stem cells used in cellular assays and animal models have achieved promising results, still there are hurdles during its clinical applications. • Stem cells appear to be an ideal solution for medicine, still there are many obstacles that need to be overcome in the future. • One of the most important problem is ethical concern with Stem Cell Therapy Novomedinstitute.org

  9. Future Perspectives • The mechanism of stem cells should completely justify animal models. For global acceptance of the procedure. • The future of stem cell research and therapy will continue to provide novel avenues of diagnostics, therapeutics, and tissue regeneration. Novomedinstitute.org

  10. Conclusions • Stem cell therapy is becoming a magnificent area for medicine. • Untreated neurodegenerative diseases have shown the possibility of cure with stem cell therapy. • Induced pluripotency enables the use of a patient’s own cells. • Tissue banks are source of regenerative medicine to combat against present and future chronic diseases. • Stem cell therapy and all its regenerative benefits are helping prolong human life.
