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 persons 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.

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.).

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
• Parkinsons disease
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Amyotrophic lateral Sclerosis
• Diabetes
• Bone defects
• Osteoarthritis

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

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.

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
  patients 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.
