ADULT STEM CELL THERAPY
Adult Stem Cell
Undifferentiated Cells
Found throughout the body after embryonic
development
Multiply by cell division to replenish dying cells
Regenerate Damaged Tissues.
Types of Adult Stem Cells
Hematopoietic
Mammary
Mesenchymal
Neural
Endothelial
Olfactory
Neural crest
Testicular
Properties
Defining properties - self-renewal & potency
Lineage
Signaling pathways
Multidrug resistance
Plasticity / Transdifferentiation
Location of Adult Stem Cell
Identified in many organs and tissues -
Brain, Bone marrow , Peripheral blood, Blood
vessels, Skeletal muscle, Skin, Teeth, Heart, Gut,
Liver, Ovarian epithelium and Testis
Adult Stem Cell Therapies
The therapies require a stem cell source of the
specific lineage and harvesting or culturing them
up to the numbers required is a challenge.
Regenerative Medicine
Process of creating living, functional tissues to repair
or replace tissue or organ function lost due to age,
disease, damage, or congenital defects
It helps to produce extended healthy longevity,
Potential of Adult Stem Cells
Treating LeukemiaLeukemia results when white blood cells made in
bone marrow begin to grow and function abnormal
When chemotherapy cannot solve the problem, doctors turn to bone marrow transplants.
Limitations of adult stem cell
The isolation of some types of ASC.
Where a person suffers from a genetic disorder or
some types of cancers, ASC isolated from that
individual will retain the damaging genetic alterations
underlying the disease and so be of little therapeutic
value
Unambiguous identification is difficult
Maintenance in culture is difficult
advantages
Natural
Safe and effective
Positive side effects
Positive results
