Stem cell treatment
Can stem cell therapy help in treatment of diseases like cancer ? What is stem cell therapy and its uses ?
When there is a defect in body tissue , or a damage , stem cell can bring partial cure or repair of body tissue or organ to the diseased or damaged tissue or body part by virtue of replacing damaged or diseased basal cells with good non-diseased basal stem cells.
Human body originate from few basal cells , which are called as stem cells , these cells are found in abundance in embryo and placental blood , or chord blood.
Stem cells migrate in to different location , and develop in to the organ cells and tissue where they get adhered , that means stem cells has capability to give rise to almost all sorts of tissue cells , like a master cells , they can develop in to blood tissue, liver cells and blood cells.
This property of stem cells to generate any type of tissue is responsible for tissue repair when we get injury .
This is why stem cells are also injected or plated artificially in to desired location where there is a injured tissue or tissue with degenerative changes , and tissue with abnormality for example in blood cancer.
Stem cells after reaching the body get accumulated in to bone and desired organ , there they replace damaged or faulty cells and help in development of tissue or organ .
The very useful source of stem cell treatment is placenta blood , or chord blood , that is why it is also preserved in laboratories and can be used for same individual as source of stem cells up on requirement. Stem cells from cord blood are harvested and grown in numbers artificially and injected in the desired tissue or transplanted.
Blood cancer where a certain types of cells grow abnormally , if treated first with chemotherapy and radiation and then followed by stem cell treatment or as required have given good result and provided good life span to affected patients.
Stem cells treatment have given great hope and opened a new way for cure to many life threatening disease it is a regenerative medicine and it is also called as a wonder medicine. Application of stem cell is very vast, it can be use to treat and repair muscle damages, bone damages , neural tissue damages , spinal chord injury.
