Role of stem cellls in therapeutics
ROLE OF STEM CELLS IN THERAPEUTICS ABSTRACT: All connective tissue cells are progenitors of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). MSCs have been extracted from bone marrow (BM) and other tissues in adults from a variety of vertebrate species, grown in culture, and differentiated into a variety of tissue-forming cells including bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, tendon, liver, kidney, heart, and even brain cells. Recent advancements in the practical end of MSC use toward regeneration of a human-shaped articular condyle of the synovial joint are one example of their functionality and flexibility 1 . (Alhadlaq,2004) INTRODUCTION: Even in the twenty-first century, we still lack adequate therapies for numerous diseases such as diabetes, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and others. Stem Cells provide a ray of hope for the treatment of many intractable illnesses. Stem cell research is progressing. How an organism grows from a single cell and how healthy cells replace damaged...
