Research and Transplants on adult stem cells


Adult Stem cell is a broad type of stem cells, Latest research of adult stem cells has been fueled by their abilities to divide and generate all the cell types of the organ from which they originate potentially regenerating the entire organ from a few cells. There are no such controversial issues with scientific researches for the use of adult stem cells, unlike the embryonic stem cells.

Unlike embryonic stem cells, the use of adult stem cells in research and therapy is not controversial because the production of adult stem cells does not require the destruction of an embryo.







Adult stem cell transplants are already widely used to treat dozens of conditions in patients
  • There are nearly 3,500 on-going or completed clinical trials (in patients) using adult stem cells, as listed in the National Institutes of Health/FDA-approved database.
  • Already by 2007, there were at least 73 conditions that were being treated by adult stem cell transplants.
  • In contrast to adult stem cells, there is currently no validated, successful patient treatment due to embryonic stem cells despite funding and research spanning a decade and a half.

Adult stem cell transplants are already widely used to benefit over a million people
  • Well over 1 million patients worldwide have been treated with adult stem cells and experienced improved health, based on data gathered by December 2012
  • Nearly 70,000 adult stem cell transplants were performed worldwide in 2012 alone.
  • More than 30,000 umbilical cord blood transplants in patients were performed by 2013.
  • Patients in 75 countries worldwide had undergone adult stem cell transplants by 2012
  • Nearly 20,000 adult stem cell transplants were performed in the United States in 2014 alone

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,...

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...

STEM REGENERATIVE 2018

About Conference 11th Annual Conference on Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine will be held at  Helsinki, Finland . ME Conferences cordially invites all participants across the Globe to attend the 11th Annual Conference on Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine during October 15-16, 2018 at Helsinki, Finland which includes prominent keynote speakers, oral talks, poster presentations and Exhibitions. Stem cells are those which are undifferentiated at the biological level and have an ability to divide (through mitosis) to produce many stem cells. The global stem cell market is expected to reach USD 15.63 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 9.2%, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Augmentation in research studies that aim at broadening the utility scope of associated products is anticipated to drive the market growth. Regenerative medicine: branch of Translational Research in the areas of tissue engineering and molecular biology. Regenerative medicine s...
