Stem Cell
Stem cell therapy is a medical treatment that involves using stem cells to repair or replace damaged or diseased cells of the body. Stem cells are specialized cells that have the ability to differentiate into many different types of cells.
Stem cells are cells that have the ability to repair the body's cells when they break down or face disease. These cells can be harvested from different parts of the body or taken from another donor. These include sources such as bone marrow, fertilized egg cells, amniotic fluid and placenta.
Stem cell therapy can be used to repair or replace cells that are diseased or damaged. These include heart disease, neurological diseases (such as multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease), cancer, musculoskeletal diseases and diabetes.
Stem cell therapy is administered by injecting or infusing stem cells collected from the patient's body or from another donor into the patient's body. The treatment may vary depending on the type of disease, the general condition of the patient and other factors.
The way stem cell therapy is performed differs for each disease and it is recommended that patients talk to their doctors and learn about alternative treatments for the diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
