How Many Types of Regenerative Stem Cells Are There?

Stem Cells are undifferentiated cells, and when required, they can differentiate into any specific type of cell. They are specialised cells with a unique ability to give rise to specifically differentiated daughter cells. The stem cell also acts as a precursor for daughter stem cells. Although stem cells differentiate into different other types of cells, they have no specific function.<br><br>

  1. Stem Cells are undifferentiated cells, and when required, they can differentiate into any specific type of cell. They are specialised cells with a unique ability to give rise to specifically differentiated daughter cells. The stem cell also acts as a precursor for daughter stem cells. Although stem cells differentiate into different other types of cells, they have no specific function.

  2. Why has usage of umbilical cord cells become controversial? The specialised Adult multipotent stem cells, found in our body, is commonly used for treatment. Umbilical cord stem cells are the most common source of multipotent stem cells. However, the use of umbilical cord cells has become increasingly controversial. Freezing umbilical cord cells look like a brilliant idea for parents, but freezing destroys the cells, thus reducing its benefit. Also, umbilical cord blood may not necessarily be a tissue match if it is provided by donor bank to a recipient. As the blood is coming from another human being, there is a risk of rejection and a chance of contracting transferable diseases. Blood banks test all their blood sample for all transferrable diseases. However, in the USA, few people reported receiving infected blood.

  3. Adult stem cells are multipotent and present in many organs of the body. These adult Stem Cells, when harvested and administered under the guidance of a specialist, help in healing injuries and other joint conditions. Haemopoietic stem cells, found in the bone marrow, are the most common type of stem cells. These stem cells differentiate into other blood cells only. Doctors only use haemopoietic stem cells for a bone marrow transplants. At Medica Stem Cells Clinics we only use Adult Stem Cells. Our Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) therapy and Mesenchymal Cell (MC) Therapy uses a patient’s own stem cells to help repair damaged tissues and repair injuries. We mostly use SVF and MC therapies for reducing joint pain, increasing motion and flexibility, and treating tendon and ligament tears.
