Stem cell therapy
Stem cells are cells found in all multi cellular organisms. They are characterized by the ability to renew themselves through mitotic cell division and differentiate into a diverse range of specialized cell types. Stem cells can now be grown and transformed into specialized cells with characteristics consistent with cells of various tissues such as muscles or nerves through cell culture. Highly plastic adult stem cells from a variety of sources, including umbilical cord blood and bone marrow, are routinely used in medical therapies. Embryonic cell lines and autologous embryonic stem cells generated through therapeutic cloning have also been proposed as promising candidates for future therapies.
Stem cells are primitive cells not yet differentiated. They can become blood, muscle, nerve, heart and other different systems and organs through differentiation and growth. In recent years, stem cell transplantation has been gradually applied in treatments of end-stage therioma（small cell lung cancer, mammary cancer, ovarian cancer, testicular cancer, neuroblastoma and so on）, heart diseases, nervous system damage, organic tissue repair, diabetes, vascular diseases. Stem cells also have potential to enhance immunity, repair diseased or aging tissue, extend life expectancy, change the human survival state. Therefore, stem cell therapy has inestimable medical value.
Stem cell research advances in technology, demonstrat great potential in Life Science, especially in clinical applications. Stem cell therapy is to transplant healthy stem cells to patients or their own bodies in order to achieve the repair or reconstruction of diseased cells with normal cells and tissue. Stem cell therapy is a fundamental and effective method of treating many diseases, as to inject new vitality into the body.
Some Frequently Asked Questions in Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cell transplantation has no side effects, if any, including what risks?
So far, stem cell transplantation has not yet led to large side effects or adverse reactions. Only individual patients suffered some resulting from the puncture site in the lumbar pain, mild dizziness, headache and low fever.
What situation of stem cell transplanted in spinal cord injury?
Spinal cord injury is a refractory disease, although the effect of stem cell transplantation for treatment is very good, but also slowly reflected. Because individual states are different, the time and the probability of walking or the exact effect of recovery is uncertain, but most of the effects are significant.
Is it suitable for children suffering cerebral palsy to transplant? What’s the effect? What’s the most appropriate time? Is the younger the better?
Children with cerebral palsy can use stem cell transplantation in the treatment, period of sequela period the shorter the better. Of course, the effect of children is better than adults, because the children’s brains are still in development, and more active and better acceptance of stem cells. With regards to when to do the treatment, it is recommended to submit the check results to medical professionals to decide.
