Are Stem cells and Regenerative medicine living up to their promises?



Stem cells are taken from a donor and put them into a patient to treat a disease or injury. Regenerative medicine makes use of cells, bio materials, and molecules to fix structures in the body that do not function properly due to disease or injury. However, however today the treatments of regenerative medicine are very low. However Cell therapies and regenerative medicine improve the health of patients with their potential representing a structural shift in healthcare by focusing on the causes of disease by repairing, replacing, or regenerating damaged cells in the body.



                                         

                                                     

Early successes

 The earlier day’s cell therapy was done by the transfusion of blood, which is common in clinical trials nowadays. It is also used in case of severe burn and scald injuries by using their own cells when a patient does not have an adequate amount of undamaged skin for skin graft treatment. Although these successes scientists are working on new therapies.

Research

 Scientists from around the world are working on new regenerative medicine to common diseases and injuries. In the past year alone, Medical News Today reported on a chip technology that can change one cell type into another and heal entire organs. And a new method of spray painting bio materials onto damaged hearts using minimally invasive surgery, and a growth factor that might reverse osteoporosis.
Cell therapy has produced clinically extraordinary results, having saved hundreds of thousands of lives. However, many cell therapies have had limited, variable, or transient efficacy. And treatments of Regenerative medicine tend to be very expensive because they often need special production facilities and highly skilled staff.

Do Stem Cells act as Anti-Cancer Vaccines?

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells iPSC are originated from skin or blood cells that have been reprogrammed back into an embryonic like pluripotent cells that enables the increase of an unlimited source of any type of human cell needed for therapeutic purposes. iPS cells plays an important role in regenerative medicine. They can become many different types of cells and tissues that can help in damage repair due to trauma or disease. Recent study shows that the iPS cells training the immune system to attack or even prevent tumours.  Ten years ago, adult cells were genetically reprogrammed to behave like pluripotent stem cells. To produce the vaccine for cancer, the researchers turned to induced pluripotent stem cells.  The main aim of the study is to vaccinate a person with his or her own iPS cells to protect against the development of many types of cancer. The iPS cells mimic Anti-Cancer vaccine because, since the cancer cells resemble immature progenitor cells, which ar

RESEARCH AND TRANSPLANT OF STEM CELL

Regenerative Medicine is used to Replace tissues and Organs which are been damaged by disease. It also helpful for the permanent damaged organs. This can be done through the cell based therapy or by using cell products. Most of the regenerative medicine is depend upon the endogenous developmental or repair process and stem cell plays a main role in regenerative medicine. And they are integral part of the Regenerative Medicine. The ability of stem cell is currently being researched by the doctors and scientists it can cure untreatable diseases like diabetes, heart failure stem cell also important in drug testing .These are used in Joints, Muscle pain, Ligaments. Regenerative Injection Treatment are using autologous platelet or plasma or bone marrow Tissue engineer is the branch of regenerative medicine. Cells are building block of tissues and Tissues are the main function in the body .Tissue engineering and Regenerative Medicine is the regeneration of cells and tissues and b

Cancer stem cells

How Cancer Persists Stem cells are found in numerous tissues in the body, its life span is limited unlike with all other regular cells. They have the ability of dividing and renovate themselves for long time period. There unspecialized character justifies that ensuring cells convert into different cell type on time when one cell divides. Like, stem cells inside the bone marrow have ability of becoming bone. Fat and blood cells Likewise, there is believed that cancer stem cell is present in the main part of tumour, in the other hand there growth is also undefined and ability of self-renovate till they convert into new cancer cells. The major tumours treatment leaves cancer stem cell unmarked. Cancer stem cell can move undetectably even after treatment of major tumours effectively to the blood stream by the immune system to generate new tumours. This process is known as metastasis. These minor tumours become more aggressive year after and it’s really difficult to treat them.
