The therapy that changes life is Stem cell therapy

The undifferentiated cells, which can differentiate into specialized cell types, are called stem cells. Stem cells can be broadly divided into two parts, embryo stem cells and adult stem cells. Further, there are major three types of stem cells; they are Hematopoietic stem cells, Mesenchymal stem cells and endothelial stem cells. The main area where the stem cells help mankind is its power to renew blood cells. Fatal diseases like bone marrow where the capability to regenerate the blood cells are lost, there the stem cells play a significant role. Stem cell therapy involves injection of new stem cells in the body in order to kill the germs and to help generate new cells. Researchers believe that the Stem cell therapy will change the entire world of human science.

Lots of Stem cell therapies are at the experimental stage. It is to be mentioned that these Stem cell therapies are generally expensive in nature. The stem cell therapies have proved effective mainly for organs and tissue restoration. The stem cell therapies can cure fatal diseases like Parkinson’s diseases, Schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s diseases, Cancer, Spinal Cord injury, diabetes and many more. Recent Stem cell therapies have proved as a vital medicine for anti aging treatments. Stem cell therapy is popular since more than a decade now. The therapy is popular in countries like USA, Italy, Germany, Denmark, UAE, Egypt, Russia, Greece and many other countries. The treatment which involves Stem cell therapy is painless, though it might be a little cost effective. Stem cell therapy has a protocol maintain, a code of ethics is followed, it is free of infectious diseases, can be used by self or donors. There are few factors on which the Stem cell therapies depend. They are mainly, involvement of the immune system, age of the patient, weight of the patient, allergies to which the patient is prone, medication and clotting profile. Stem cell transplant involves mixing of the healthy stem cells into the body. A Stem cell transplant happens when the bone marrow doesn’t work or it stops producing healthy stem cells. Once the transplant takes place, the body may start producing enough white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets. Stem cell therapies are capable to cure brain damages, cancer, spinal cord injury, heart damages and many more. In the coming year’s medical science will witness loads of invention based on stem cell therapies. The stem cells give rise to different cell type. Stem cells regenerate tissues for a lifetime. Due to its unique nature to generate mature cell type it is required for several fatal diseases. More likely, the disease of bone marrow transplantation requires the stem cells. The Stem cell therapies cure both cancerous and non cancerous patients. The treatment method is such that in a non cancerous case the dysfunctional marrow is destroyed with the most effective drugs. Then fresh set of stem cells are introduced in the body. On the other hand, in a cancerous case, we require to get rid of the bone marrow of cancer cells. Then healthy stem cells are transplanted, further normal cell production can resume.
