Cardiac stem cell therapy is used to replace and repair damaged cells in the blood vessels and the walls of the chambers and blood vessels of the heart. One of the main medical areas using cardiac stem cell therapy is in the repair of damage caused to the human heart by heart attacks and degenerative [...]

Somatic cell therapy is the use of mature human cells to prevent and treat medical disorders. It refers to the administration to humans of autologous, allogeneic, or xenogeneic living non-germline cells, other than transfusable blood products, for therapeutic, diagnostic, or preventive purposes. Currently, somatic cell therapy is the only possible option, and clinical trials have [...]
Mesenchymal stem cell therapy is considered investigational for all orthopedic applications, including but not limited to use in repair or regeneration of musculoskeletal tissue. There are many disease targets for which mesenchymal stem cell therapy is being assessed in both preclinical and clinical studies. Mesenchymal stem cell therapy is rapidly becoming a clinical reality. The [...]
The four types of stem cells are embryonic stem cells, umbilical stem cells, fetal stem cells and adult stem cells. Embryonic stem cells are cells obtained from a human embryo. They have the ability to form virtually any type of cell found in the human body. Umbilical stem cells are taken from an umbilical cord [...]
There are many different types of stem cells, each with very different potential to treat disease. The cells can divide to form cells that go on to develop into mature tissue types such as liver, lungs, brain, or skin. Embryonic stem cell – They exist only at the earliest stages of embryonic development and go [...]
