A Review of Stem Cells in Regenerative Medicine
Authors(5) :-Jency George, Manjusha W A, Jegan S R, Mahija S P, Josphin J S Regenerative Medicine encompasses many fields of science and medicine. The efficiency of regenerative medicine can be ameliorated by improving the biological performances of stem cells before their transplantation. Stem cells have a capacity for self-renewal and capability of proliferation and differentiation to various cell lineages. They can be classified into embryonic stem cells (ESC) and non-embryonic stem cells (non-ESC). Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) show great promise in several animal studies and clinical trials. ESCs have a great potential but their use is still limited due to ethical and scientific considerations. The use of amniotic fluid derived cells, umbilical cord cells, fat and skin tissues and monocytes might be an adequate “ethically pure” alternative in future. Stem cells can improve healthcare by using and augmenting the body’s own regenerative potential. This article reviews focused on stem cells, properties of stem cells, Stem cell sources, stem cells in therapeutic strategies for tissue repair.
