Question 1

What is stem cell therapy?

Accepted Answer

Stem cell therapy, also known as cellular therapy, is a form of regenerative meditation technique that can be used to treat certain health conditions. Bone marrow transplant for treatment of blood and bone marrow disease or disorders is a popular stem cell procedure. With recent advancements and success in cellular therapy, different types of stem cells are being used to treat several physiological, neurological, and movement disorders. With stem cell therapy, doctors have been able to improve the quality of life and even treat many kinds of disorders and congenital defects. It is being used to restore the damaged tissue and organs and even lost functions of some damage parts.

Question 2

How does it work?

Accepted Answer

Stem cells are known as progenitor cells as they have the unique and distinct characteristics of self-renewal and the ability to differentiate into various cell types. These cells form all types of cells in the body at the fetal or embryonic stage. In adults, stem cells also serve as a type of internal repair mechanism, as they can divide perpetually (without limitations) to replenish the tissue cells and differential to perform a specific function. They can repair the damaged tissues and organs and their reparative functions can be explained through the following mechanisms:

Release growth factors that aid by providing a regenerative or curative effect on damaged tissues.
Promote angiogenesis - boost the supply of blood by forming new blood vessels in the damaged tissues. This helps in the process of repairing by increasing oxygen and nutrient flow.
Develop and form new tissue cells depending on the area where they are injected. They specialize in the functioning cells as per the requirement.

Question 3

Who can benefit from this stem cell therapy?

Accepted Answer

Hematopoietic stem cells are used in bone marrow transplants to treat blood and bone marrow diseases such as cancer or genetic disorders that affect blood cell production. A bone marrow transplant can be done using autologous (patient&rsquo;s own) stem cells or it can be allogenic (donor cells).
Stem cell therapy has also given effective results in improvement of some neurological, developmental and movement disorders, such as

Autism
Intellectual disorder
Cerebral palsy
Muscular dystrophy
Spinal injury
Stroke
brain/ head injury
Motor-neural disorder

Question 4

What kind of stem cells can be used in therapy?

Accepted Answer

Adult stem cells: Adult stem cells are present in the body even after development. They have the capacity to differentiate into other types of cells in specialized tissues or organs. The stem cells help maintain and repair the tissues in that organ. The adult stem cells are mostly found in the bone marrow and peripheral blood, and also in blood vessels, skeletal muscle, and some organs. For bone marrow transplant, hematopoietic stem cells can be harvested directly from the bone marrow of hip bone or through peripheral blood after stimulation. In stem cell treatment for neurological disorders, Adult autologous bone marrow-derived stem cells are mainly used.
Embryonic stem cells: These stem cells are taken from the embryo itself and have an unlimited potential for development and differentiation. Their tendency to proliferate is highly studied for therapeutic uses. However, it is still under ethical considerations as their unlimited proliferative potential also increases the risk of tumorigenic tendencies after injecting into the human system. Therefore, their usage is controversial for stem cell therapy raises as there are major ethical red flags and risks involved.
Umbilical cord cells: Cord blood is a rich source of hematopoietic stem cells and can be used for the treatment of certain medical conditions. This is obtained when a mother consents to preserve the umbilical cord after the baby is born. The cord and blood are frozen and stored until the time it is required in the future.
