Stem Cells

http://stemcellmalaysia.com/stem-cells/ Stem cells have set off a great deal of interest not only in the clinical society yet also in individuals from every vocation. The main cause stem cells have actually stirred up so much attention is because of the belief that stem cell therapy has the potential to cure numerous conditions. The enjoyment has actually built up to additional hope when incurable conditions are believed to be treatable utilizing stem cells. Lots of folks expect the hope and appealing capacity of stem cell therapy for terminal illnesses such as cancer as well as Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. The great information of stem cell therapy are every bit as enthused for people with chronic illnesses such as diabetes, Parkinson's disease, stroke as well as several various other debilitating conditions.

  1. What Are Stem Cells By StemCellMalaysia.com

  2. Stem cells can be defined simply as cells which are not specialized in any specific tissue or organs. In other words, stem cells have not differentiated into other cell types to form tissues and organs. Stem Cells Definition StemCellMalaysia.com They are the base or foundational cells to develop into cells which specialized in certain functions. Another distinguishing characteristics of stem cells is their ability to undergo division, giving rise to more stem cells.

  3. This is known scientifically as the ability to self-regenerate. The way stem cells self-regenerate is to divide and produce two stem cells with the exact characteristics. Stem Cells Definition StemCellMalaysia.com This is what happens initially. As they undergo further self-regeneration, they soon produce one stem cell and one cell which has more differentiation or specialization.

  4. The significance of stem cells in their application to the human body and human health boils down to the two important characteristics of differentiation and self-regeneration. Stem Cells Definition StemCellMalaysia.com Imagine how powerful they can be if stems cells can  be developed into heart cells, especially when someone’s heart is doomed to fail.

  5. Or, for someone with damaged brain cells or nerve cells, wouldn’t it be extremely great news if stem cells can develop new brain cells or nerve cells for the person. Stem Cells Definition StemCellMalaysia.com Indeed, the potential and possibilities of exploiting stem cells for medical science and health science are enormous. Many untreatable diseases and ailments may in the near future become curable.

  6. Stem cells are classified into various types based on their ability to undergo differentiation into different cell types. Types of Stem Cells StemCellMalaysia.com In other words, their classification, and hence their name, is derived from their potential to develop into one, two or several other cell types.

  7. For example, oligopotent stem cells can divide and produce 5 types of blood cells, including monocytes and macrophages. Types of Stem Cells StemCellMalaysia.com Totipotent stem cells have the ability to differentiate themselves into all cell types. Pleuripotentstem cell is able to develop into all cell types, except cells of the embryonic membranes.

  8. Scientists have identified the various stem cells so that targeted research can be performed to discover specific applications to the human health and disease treatments. Types of Stem Cells StemCellMalaysia.com Understanding the specific types of stem cells will help applying the right type of stem cells to the appropriate condition or illness.

  9. The best way to understand stem cells is probably by looking at ourselves. You and I are formed from stem cells. Stem Cells In Human Development StemCellMalaysia.com The first stem cell that appears before a fetus develops is known as zygote. When a sperm cell penetrates an egg cell from the mother, a zygote is formed which contains all the genetic information required to develop a human being.

  10. In a way, the zygote is the superior stem cell, having the ability to divide and develop into all cell types. Stem Cells In Human Development StemCellMalaysia.com From the zygote, a who;e pool or mass of different stem cells are formed, providing the fetus the necessary stem cells to develop various parts of the human body.

  11. Once we understand how the master stem cell, the zygote, enables the development of a human being, it is not too difficult to imagine the potential to exploit stem cells for the regeneration of damaged organs or tissues in an adult. Stem Cells In Human Development StemCellMalaysia.com The question lies in whether we can exploit the ability of stem cell for whatever treatment objectives we wish to accomplish.
