This therapy is a form of regenerative medicine formed to repair damaged cells in the human body, condensing inflammation and regulate the immune systems. This fact makes stem cell treatment a reliable option for various medical conditions.

Stem cell therapy can transform many patient’s life by offering a new beginning and quality of life using stem cells. Many cases with severe diseases have seen immense improvement in the condition after undergoing stem cell treatment.

Now, let’s find out the working mechanism of stem cell therapy.

The primary biological work of stem cells is to repair ad regenerate diseased cells. However, the mechanism is still unknown, but it is assumed stem cells release particular substances that activate the damaged tissues. Regenerative procedures start the body’s natural healing potential through an injection of the body’s own healthy cells.

 Here, we mentioned the biological job of stem cells, so for the other part, we’ll be discussing about the stem cells that are used in treatment.

Stem cells are the base for every tissue and organ in the human body. All cells can self-renew and differentiate. Under the proper conditions in the body or laboratory, stem cells divide to form more cells known as daughter cells. These daughter cells become new stem cells or specialized cells with more specific functions. However, no other cells in the body have the natural capacity to generate new cell types.

Researchers categorize stem cells according to their potential to differentiate into new cells. Classification includes:

1. Mesenchymal stem cells- MSCs (mesenchymal stem cells) are also called stromal stem cells. The MSCs are capable of making bone, fat cells, and cartilage. According to scientists, not all MSCs are the same, and their properties depend on where in the body they come from and how they will grow.
2. Induced pluripotent stem cells– these cells have been discovered in the lab by converting tissue-specific cells, like skin cells, into cells that show properties like embryonic stem cells. Induced pluripotent cells are crucial tools for researchers to learn more about normal development and disease progression. They are also helpful for originating and testing new drugs and therapies.
3. Tissue-specific stem cells- These cells are also known as somatic or adult stem cells and are more specialized than embryonic stem cells. These cells can generate different cell types for the particular organ or tissue in which they live.
4. Embryonic stem cells – These cells are obtained from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst, a ball of cells that forms three to five days after an egg cell is fertilized by a sperm in a human. However, when scientists withdraw the inner cell mass and grow the cells in laboratory conditions, they continue to show the characteristics of embryonic cells.

As of now, we’ve learned about stem cells and their therapy. So, let’s discover some benefits of choosing stem cell therapy.
